Market pumpers are in overdrive
Skepticism towards bullish narratives; argues market corrections are healthy and further declines are likely.
- Current bullish reassurances appear forced and potentially indicative of a local top.
- Market corrections of 5-20% are natural and healthy for long-term stability.
- Recent price drops reflect necessary clearing of overvalued positions rather than fundamental failure.
It is certainly interesting to see people fly out of the woodwork to assure everyone with all the detailed explanations of why the market went down a few measly percent, to just keep buying and it will be all time high again next week. And maybe it will be.
Or we could see further declines of 5, 10, 15, 20% or more in the coming months. That’s not “bad”, if anything it’s healthy for investors. It’s just that those that already bought higher are now upset.
Forest fires have cleared overcrowded forests and allowed for healthier regrowth for millions of years, market fires are the same.
The "pumpers" are the perma doomers who finally fomoed into the market after seeing that the market no longer cares about Trump's antics and the Iran conflict.
You know it’s AI when a 2% drop gets these kind of posts
"Most have something to do with their leverage amounts…"
No truer words have been spoken!
It really seems that way
I'm going to disagree. The point of investment isn't to always go up. In fact if we didn't have down days it would be an insane world.
personally Id like to see a good historical stock market crash. Everyone says its coming, lets just get it over with
hell yeah brother
Does it matter if you buy good companies or etfs and you are willing to wait. Buy the dip or just hold. Spy returns were above 20% in the last year so a 20% drop it's nothing and it only went down 2%
And we haven’t even seen a down market yet.
Glad I'm not the only one waiting for some karnack like prediction!
Isn't this a classic supply and demand situation? New mega IPOs issuing more tech shares. The money in the market has to spread out to cover these new shares. Hence, other tech stocks have to go down to cover the spread. On top of that, rising oil prices due to SPR emergency release running dry. 401K contribution going down to cover living expenses. Overall less money in the market with more tech shares to buy.
This doesn’t even make sense.
Of course because they've witnessed some stocks double in a month so if they buy in now, they want to see it double again.
So much wrong here.
- No one “loses” money unless they sell in a down market. Maybe options and futures traders, who cares.
- If you think markets should only go up, you’ll have so much fraud and scam activity beyond what currently exists. Even without short sellers, someone will pump stocks and cash out of an overvalued lie leaving you holding the bag. That’s what you what, endless greater fool?
- Made so much on the way up, but valuations are not compatible with reality anymore.
