i'm buying 0dte puts at 9:52 am

wait wtf Gold is at 3212

Damn its going to pump tmrw for sure isn't it?
I've never seen doomspamming this hard and of this poor quality.

Daily reminder to buy the dip. The economy is fine inflation is lowering, jobless claims are as expected. Trump will fold then a golden bullrun begins. Bobo euphoria = go long

all caps SEX id

this anon owes me SEX

I got my chink 3D printer filament today. The box says "made in Vietnam" even though it's a Chinese company that lists a Chinese address in Shenzen and has Chinese writing on it. Trump is a retard for rolling back the tariffs.

did 2 sets of 170 bench. not my goal but an improvement. also weighing 169 lbs now. mom said i'm looking stronger, then she corrected herself, "a lot" stronger. s&p futures green, above 5300. told you guys not to panic. tomorrow will be interesting, think we will close right below 5400. anything could happen though. gonna post a pic in /cbt/ later, i'll link to it, let Anon Babble be the judge of how much stronger i look.

everyone's wondering what's got bonds so upset, i'm one of them, don't have an answer though. starting to see real panic on my twitter feed as well... like everyone forgot about the 11% nasdaq move. people want to dismiss what the market does, explain it away "it was only 'cuz of this or that so it doesn't count!" is the gist of what they say.... very stupid. every price matters, all the moves matter. chart gaps were closed, there's still another above this to deal with and we likely need a weekly close above 5400 before we even start to test that, but get a grip people.

but the market was down 3.5% today

not that unusual, all of it inside yesterday's trading range, closed off the lows... get a grip people.

saturday is a big day for me. venus exits retrograde, full moon, and i have a couple events planned. hoping romance enters my life one way or another.

/smg/ - Tranny Sex Fetish Edition

Yep. I'm going back to Anon Babble. So long faggots.

What's the point in mislabeling it?

Trump is the one who arranged the friend-shoring system where China can relabel goods in places like Vietnam during his first term.

jerkit.gif - 480x480, 574.75K

It's not subject to tariffs.

avoids china specific tariffs by changing the country of origin. They've been doing it since Trump's first wave of tariffs 8 years ago.

get your motherfucking cursor ofF THE SCREEN

In words: Many components are higher in the last CPI than previous. So despite CPI being lower, PCE could end up higher.

Only Airline Fares crashed. Everything else is higher. Forgot to highlight physician's care which is also higher in April reading (CPI for March)

Never bet against SEX. April is a historic low for the stock market trump is going to fold. I have connections to the Russian state Duma and can confirm this. The economy is doing well. Screencap this also checkem

I think this wasn't even mine. Top left is stolen from a Twitter post, kek.

As a gay man I love stocks, bonds, and crypto

Ok, no, found the twitterpost. It's my cursor. suck it

Futures looking boring

IMG_1808.jpg - 1024x1536, 561.57K

For some reason I thought the fact that it would still be coming off of a Chinese boat would make it impossible to spoof, but I guess once mail is tossed together no one actually knows how it got there and just looks at the label. Thank you.

dafriend.jpg - 702x703, 42.77K

Why are they like this?

it's very awkward to open a leatherman knife like that

Overexposure to lead when growing up.

Boomers reap the rewards of 250 years of US efforts in the greatest financial boom in human history

as they finally go, they decide to bring it all down in a random, pointless trade war against the evil Chinaman so that the next generations will have nothing

its designed to open like that. If you can't do that with one you should just loosen the screws a bit.

Their only mistake is cucking out. They should have seen it through, but now they just look like retards with no leverage.

biz tourists need to take note that this is how you post political seethe without coming off as a left wing nut job

I'm sure Xi would be very interested to hear some of the minutia about NYC zoning laws in the 80s in regards to the legal maximum height of office towers in particular districts at the time.

PPI tomorrow

gold soaring

yields spiking

dollar plummeting

big money pulling out while retail piles in

Tomorrow will be Black Friday. Prices so low you will rub your eyes.

I voted for Trump but I didn't vote for him to kill global trade. What part of his campaign said "global trade war, total US currency DEATH"

Has anyone else actually read Art of the Deal? Feels like I'm the only one who has. It's not bad. It's also probably a lot less interesting than you'd expect given the type of guy Trump is. The book is mainly just a biography and synopsis of the most notable real estate projects of his early career. I thought it was an enjoyable read.

Kek, its truly absurd and out of the blue. I voted for mass deportations, cleansing the American bureaucracy and judicial systems and a better US economy. But if he accidentally destroys the globohomo financial system and we go back to a gold standard ill be happy too.

"Uhhh guys I voted for trump! Also I'm repeating late stage capitalism talking points and mocking exnophobia. You know, like we MAGA senpai do!"

Replacing income tax with tariffs was part of his platform, but it's disappointing that he's cucking out so easily.

Tomorrow.... imma slurp

need incapacitatingly large boobs.

I expect them

So hypothetically what would happen to the USA and citizens if it does default? Fall of Rome kinds of shit?

I think at times like these, its important to see where the jews are going. If they are physically relocating. What they are doing with their money. etc.

When the rats start to leave the ship, its time to worry.

nooooooo great emperor please make my life and hobbies harder!

Stop being a panican, unironically.

Weimar Germany but with an even more fractured population thanks to diversity. So no chance at unity, ever. Total annihilation.

what are the jews doing? i haven't been to synagogue in several months

kek

if i was smart enough to put together a reverse iron condor i definitely would.
but i'd just end up accidently hitting a button to sell puts and be sold into debt slavery

Hello saars my name is Subhumaramadan and I will be doing the building of your new iPhone, do not worries you are in good very good hands

no big deal

i agree. i'd like to see it lower.
did retail pump the nasdaq 11%?
politicians lie a lot.

anyways i posted a fitness pic i am nervous about tomorrow, trying to be confident but it is hard. don't think we'll close below 5200 or above 5400, futures seem to be at just the right spot for a tug of war between traders. was hoping for a nice calm day but the more i think about the setup and the sentiment i think there's gonna be big swings. the people are expecting drama and their minds are divided, i think tptb will deliver a show after all. still conflicted though, best to be careful trading in times like these however. gold seems unstoppable, and i made quick buck buying miners at open and scalping, should have just stayed with the trade, would've made more money and had less stress, thinking about just doing that tomorrow but check out the chart of miners though... do you buy this sort of thing or run away? maybe just watch and learn on this one tomorrow.

I read it. I mean, he had plenty of it ghost written or dictated and edited. It was different than I expected, but I read it after "Broken America" so that book made more sense in context. It's short and interesting. I think if we had that Trump, things would be what we hoped they would be instead of what we have. Unfortunately he is now like every other old person and is locked in the idea the world is the same as it was 40 years ago.

Not bad, but she's still able to stand. Total incapacitation is the only way.

Like this?

bIc9qerKL.jpg - 2000x1333, 353.31K

Oh this is good. Thank you anon. This is the way. Tho she is standing, Confined to the floor would be best.

I now have 500 dollars in SQQQ ,averaged at 38 dollars, because I do not think it is a good time to buy the dip.

It feels like you could probably create a whole sub-industry of package inspectors to stop this kind of thing.

I want to rape this ai generated college anime girl.

You guys do realize that if no deal is made and the trade war continued, the Fed will HAVE to raise rates in order to preserve the dollar as a reserve currency?

I want you to understand that.

dxy crashing

bond yields spiking

markets crashing

A total flight from dollar assets means the Fed HAS to do this. It is their mandate. The bond market is on the verge of total US death mode.

She's 12

Shut your azz up

fed will raise rates

good.

did retail pump the nasdaq 11%?

Yes, because everyone who wanted to sell already did.

She's a pokemon trainer and therefore legal.

King cuck in chief will never allow it. He'll find some way to cuck out like he always does.

I do have those kinds of image but file size is too large even in jpeg

Sometimes I'm retarded and forget to save some cash to buy back my options that are +50% in profit and this leads me to make even more retarded trades

You don't have to hope.
If Trump doesn't do a 180 in the next few weeks, it WILL happen.

implying

Trump is cucking so hard right now that it's unironically giving me TDS. He's 100% going to cuck out of the China tariffs.

I don't bother naming most of them.
But if I did name this one, it would be "WhyIsThatHelicopterSoCloseToMyPlane-Pepe"

I just poured a cup of joe here at 2:30am. Probably a bad idea.

IMG_0226.png - 687x527, 12.62K

I really hope he keeps those tariffs for several days. Backing out quickly just feels weak

Graduating college and entering the workforce right as shit hits the fan has me genuinely considering suicide or expat. Since I'm a pussy, what countries will ride out the storm relatively well?

lol, Dow Futs up 400 on no news. Panican buyers will get dumped on again.

IMG_1815.jpg - 1280x818, 118.26K

right as shit hits the fan

Turn off your monitor, retard.

he has slowly implemented tariffs. the frog is being boiled. He puts in gigantic fucking nuclear tariffs, says he will repeal some of them, then everyone starts strokin their dick,

'HE KEKED HE KEKED"

meanwhile we now have 10% on a lot of countries, 25% on canadian and american non-usmca goods, 145% on china, and a temporary reprieve from bigger ones. Oh yea, he cucked alright. he cucked (you).

oh man if that is what makes you consider suicide you might as well get it out of the way because you've got a lot more bigger Ls to take

I went to bed at 10pm thinking I would get a good night rest but woke up at 1am. I don't know how late I'm going to be up otherwise I would make a pot

I think he's starting to back off on the China thing because yields are easing up. Something must have leaked. Still really high, but a small relief from 8 hours ago.

Man, I’m so glad the smg split. Just wish less of you guys left your containment board to suck Trump off.

Why aus Europe up 5%? Wtf mumu

Sounds like you'd be better off on Anon Babble

the default 34% was really enough to kill trade. I dont think anyone feasibly knew he would back off wednesday because the market priced in absolutely nothing. He's too unpredictable to be putting money into anything in my opinion.

I'm bearish when /smg/ is gigabullish

I'm reluctantly (angrily) bullish when /smg/ is gigabearish

ngmi

This is what I'm talking about . I have lost all respect for Trump in the last 24 hours because of how hard he's cucking. He *will* cuck.

put your money where your mouth is.

Doesn't he say that kind of thing about almost everyone?

trump-sama...what the fuck are you talking about?

IMG_7202.jpg - 1106x830, 228.73K

I'm thinking about it, but it will reset my long term capital gains clock on over $100k of puts, and also I'll have to deal with slippage. I know that we should be going through a bull trap right now, but Trump cucking this hard legitimately has me worried about my position.

God that was a shitty gif. I immediately regret posting it.

republican party is the pro-china wing just like democrats are the pro-europe wing. the tough on china rhetoric is just necessary, just like both parties have to say they're pro-israel, even though dems support them less. read between the lines on the propaganda and you'll start to see it, also note musk's support for republicans. and genuinely curious, why you support china tariffs so much? i'm of the mind that more harmony with china is in our interest, as long as we can keep taiwan secure.

wonderin.jpg - 1024x1024, 178.3K

bullish

tough spot. I am all cash right now because this market is not trustworthy.

if my calls print tommorrow im going to retract my signature on the offer letter and stay "looking" for work for another month.

China is quite literally planning to kill us. We need to start treating them like it.

i'm more worried about /smg/ posters or glowies killing me than china. but perhaps that is true. fwiw the chinese are apparently very paranoid about us killing them or overthrowing their government.

Swiss Franc is at it highest level relative to USD since August 2011 euro sovereign debt crisis

How de we get rich if the US defaults?

Market will probably either moon or crash, so extreme OTM calls and puts?

This is what makes it risky. How do I know he won't 180 and do the opposite of what I assume only for to get left holding the bag or missing out on huge gains?

i'm watching this right now. kinda typical boilerplate us china conflict stuff, i watch a lot of this, but you might be interested.

dreamvision.jpg - 1024x1024, 220.04K

Yes

china wants taiwan in the sense that you want a gf.
they talk about it alot but they aren't actually doing anything about it and are too affraid to make any concrete steps

think you misunderstand both scenarios.

crab it is but who knows
I bet on pump start and then decline ending in red, maybe even a big dump because old man ramble about something or xi and friends decide to make extreme pressure to be sure everyone in US have a bad weekend

Default risk now trending on social media

Normies are freaking the FUCK out now, even more so than usual

Oh c'mon, surely that won't happen, US government will just prop up some last minute bill bullshit to avert the crisis like usual...they'll bail us out again right...........................?

We were not talking about today, but in case of default. So not 1 trading day

nothing ever happens, always inverse normies

kek I think you understand both scenarios perfectly

I'll have to watch this tomorrow, thanks.

As much as it pains me to say it, this is the one (1) time nothing ever happens fags (literally an FBI inaction psyop) might be right. Yields were higher than this like a year and a half ago, and Trump is acting like a total cuck. I think it's more likely that someone is whipping up the normalniggers to influence Trump and prevent him from doing things that would cause their market positions to go down. They really, really want him to cuck.

US government will just prop up some last minute bill bullshit to avert the crisis like usual...they'll bail us out again right...........................?

Yes of course. Never underestimate the government's ability to can kick. Taking a position that they won't this time -because of bobo's greentext wall of worry- means you're going contrary to everything that has happened in the states since the 70s. You want to bet against 55 years of jewish tricks on the idea that this time, truly, is different? Are you sure?

Can't use Animagine 3.0 anymore but I can use 4.0 and finally figured it out. Crazy how a few prompt words can drastically change the image.

Either Bail In and buy VOO, SPY, or QQQ or be used as Bail In.

I'm not trusting these green futures and I will probably miss a pump today because of it.

Song birds are extremely loud outside my window and I’m trying to sleep. This is your only omen you willl get today

IMG_0336.jpg - 212x238, 4.7K

Small caps 0_0

My guess, the sentiment brews for a bit before the inevitable can kicking they always do. Meaning a dump short term but inevitably a pump long term. Or maybe that's cope and stocks go straight to pumping.

CHINA TO INCREASE TARIFFS ON US GOODS TO 125% - Bbg

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Oh shit, we might be back boyos.

This will effectively lead to a double embargo. The question is, does the US need China or does China need the US? Will the metals be more important than the high fructose corn syrup?

I hope there's a pump tomorrow, or at the least a dump, none of this volatile range bound bull honkey. I can't do anything with that, lost 4hundo in sim trading trying my best to make some trades today, nada. Just random bars that make this place a full casino. no winners just everyone's stops destroyed. Gimme a direction and ya got only half a casino situation.

but even then in the middle of trading I made a few hundred sticking to a tight tight system. but man one step outside of that and wham-o! stops get busted left and right. full on winamp EQ today blastin Black Eyed Peas.

Squwak squwak!
It's not th big one Bobo!
Squwak squwak!
Should have closed those puts yesterday!

china needs the US $ to prop up their soon to be failed dictatorship more than the US needs iphones

Xi declines to reraise, just calls, says he wont raise the next hand

weak hands.
deal close.
bullish.

I doubt either side would go that far. China wants niggervideo chips, and the States still leans too heavily on China's manufacturing for basic shit.

China increased tariffs on US goods to 125%

Do we even import anything to China?

just hollywood propoganda films

ART OF THE DEAL

I wonder how Trump will counter? Increase tariffs to 150%?

I love that chick, she got fucking gorgeous.

I suspect that's the point. He gets to tariff China one magamillion billion percent without instantly ruining all businesses reliant on goods from China. And it sends a strong message that this loophole can be tightened at any time, so it still gives strong incentive to reshore or at least source from a more aligned country.

2000% tariffs and he directs ICE to seek out and deport any single chinese men on student visas, the whole country has to sit in the cuck chair while all incels are activated to pursue the remaining chinese women. Two problems solved in one go.

calls on tariffs

IF Trump wants to show some BALLS then he must NOW go another step. A meaningful step, that is:

Secondary tariffs

Tariffs on countries that import from CHYNA. Like he did with Venezuela. But chances are low, cause Trump is a bully and bullies pick weaker people.

well well well

If PPI is also bad (don't get fooled by a lower reading, the PCE components are important), then there probably will be a selloff into the close like last friday

Help me understand, burgers seem to want to cripple global trade despite being the primary beneficiaries and spending decades inducing the formation of entire sweatshop countries of bugmen to manufacture cheap goods for them, weaken the dollar to compete on exports whilst still somehow intending to remain the reserve currency, and literally whipping their vassals out in the open on economic and geopolitical issues, ultimately weakening their standing and pull medium term, whilst signalling they want to retreat from global affairs

We can go to war with the world if we can't make our own shit

Basically my negro, the Chinks and other third world nations brought in goods, and the US exported paper dollars, and these same countries reinvested the money in the US (bonds,stocks, real estate). And somehow this was really bad for the US, because lmao trade deficit lmao.

Yes, while they also bomb and threaten to bomb BROWN people on the opposite side of the world (some of them in the name of free trade, most for the only democracy in the middle east)

Go to war

Rest of the world nukes you

You nuke the rest of the world

???

Profit?

truckin tickers looking mighty tasty right now. Everyone is selling them left and right, but we aint going back to horse and buggy to get our shit around. perfect example of buying when there's blood in the streets. hell they could still suffer from tariffs but crude oil going down so we are in for a cheap gas summer. that's gonna ease up any extra pressure on the books instantly.

this is genuinely the result of having russia style agitprop about how the USA could take the entire world any time they like, but in a democratic country where elections are not rigged so even the people running the show have been psyopped

ZIM has gone between big dividend payouts and none, but my autistic feeling that shipping companies are going to make bank from transhipment is colouring my assessment of them (they have a strong sell indication on investing.com)

been looking at some shipping companies, nervous about a few things and I've been out of the game so long I don't have my former toolkit, rebuilding it now. One of the things I made a killing on a decade ago was the shipping craziness. I'll take a look at it, thanks.

Military depends on industrial base. Without their big stick, it all crumbles.
They were paying for those cheap goods with debt and servicing of that debt is starting to get out of hand. Debt spiral = big bad.
The reserve currency status isn't sustainable in the long term and it's not a long term goal to maintain that status.

I should have doubled down on gold miners. They dropped as much as spy did and then went back up in line with spy but gold is way higher now.

no, republicans are pro india, while democrats are pro china

a 3 day special military operation, simple

i've figured it all out and am feeling much more bullish about this situation now that I have worked it out. we need to be buying. its counter intuitive to the panic of this controlled detonation, but I am starting to believe this market is being prepped for an explosion to the upside. a crescendo of converging parts if you will.

Why do people think this way? All the expensive stuff over here is because the expected value of collaboration in the US is negative. That's partly because everything over here is fake and all the manufactured stuff comes from China.

vietnam, iraq and afganistan should have been walkovers too

I think it just a lot of volatility. Today seems like a green day, but who knows with the Chinese counter tariffs today

vietnam, iraq and afganistan should have been walkovers too

They were.
We won every major battle in vietnam and decided to just give up, curb stomped iraq's army (just like the first time in the 90s) and afghanistan likewise had no chance to resist in any meaningful way as a nation.
The american military is very very good at destroying other militaries
It's not so great at fighting guerillas or "insurgencies" or playing games at "nation building". That's probably what you're thinking about but it kinda doesn't matter for china's purposes, in terms of regime change.
Defeating china's military will be easy. "Nation building" after the fact will be where it loses the plot. But the CCP will be long gone by then, and hopefully if the CIA does their job right, replaced by 5 different breakaway countries who all hate each other.

green

DXY is down more than 1% chud, it's already a red day

What are the most important data today so I can set an alarm?

Delusion. The navy isn't getting within 300km of the chinese mainland for good reason.

My stocks are green today. They will probably go red soon.

Any Truth or Tweet that Trump signs “DJT”

They want to compete with sweatshops. The first rule of sweatshop economics is to devalue everything around you

Will the bank reimburse me more dollars if the dollars I have got a 1% haircut overnight?

Delusion. The navy isn't getting within 300km of the chinese mainland for good reason.

For one, I always wonder why that same logic doesn't apply going the other way? What if china tried to sail across the pacific? Would they get close to california with any ships remaining, or even close to hawaii. I think we all know that china has no ability to cross the pacific and attack america.

Regardless of that little thought experiment.
We won't need to. We can blockade their mechant fleet and military fleets in the indian ocean and shut down their entire country.
They are dependent on outside trade for food, water, energy and most of their economy.
If we blockade them, they are FUCKED. It's checkmate in one move.
At that point, ever month we wait is another nail in the coffin.
And there's nothing they can do to stop it.

i will write out my schizo thesis sometime over the weekend likely. i dont have the energy to go through it right now though but its good. the gist of it is overall bullish, i dont know how long its going to take to play out exactly but im starting to feel strongly about buying. perhaps even now. further downside is not out of the question but becomes more and more unlikely

why must the media spread fear all the time...

Great day today. Someone left the gate open to a sports ball field and I collect lots of bottles and cans. So much convenient when they are all in one place. Also found a coin and an unopened bottle of Heine that is cold enough to drink now. Hope today is red so I can slurp up some cheapies. WAGMI frens.

Nice. Maybe one day I will do that as well.

Larry fink speaking at 9:30 CNBC. What do you think he is going to say

"C'est Fini"

Jesus, scavenging the trash and finding unopened bottles that you can still drink?

On the guys, don’t be too afraid to invest, fr fr.

i can't afford to get wiped out again

morning /smg/. was having a good dream, about extremely tall trees, it had rained and they were growing bigger. it was then disrupted by some horrible violence i won't describe, glad i woke up and got out before it got worse. would like to go back to bed but i don't think it is happening. someone on Anon Babble called me "extremely manly," *blush* i'm not about to go in and correct them. intel and snap are both short-sale restricted today, pretty unusual, the selling has been that ferocious. hoping the bond selling lets up today, seems overdone and nonsensical, but is undoubtedly tied to global politics. gold just won't quit, thinking of just buying miners at open again, selling first uptick, even if it's going down the miners should poke their head higher before a rejection. hoping for a good day today in the markets, and some emotional peace, my mom leaves very soon and i need serenity in my life.
nothing is certain in the fog of war. and you can play thought experiments with people's lives all you want, the reality of it is very different. war is terrible and only destroys things. china is also a nuclear-armed nation, even if you were right about a conventional war, and you're not, what happens when they truly do have nothing to lose? not to mention the impact on the stock market...
peace is a much better option and should be pursued with greater vigor, hoping cooler heads prevail in all of this escalation going on and a real deal can be struck soon. nobody wins in war and conflict, just a lesser loser.

You not bussin? I be buying small amounts now on da red dayz. More volatility 2 come.

good. i invested the last coins in vix as it seems the least likely to do a rugpull in these wildly uncertain times

DXY bros?

IMG_1824.png - 860x814, 300.06K

I bought, so market is going to tank today
My bad

Powell needs to do an emergency hike

not buzzing fr

wisekey +13% premarket, might get pumped pretty significantly today. sometimes you have to look hard for a trade, sometimes it's just as simple as buying what is going up.

What the fuck is going on with the US Dollar?

trump doesn't like it

What are we going to start using Trump's meme token for payment of all debts, public or private now? I would go all in, since these dollars are fucking toilet paper now.

wisekey

Thanks for the info. OPTT is blowing up again because they are getting the resigns again. Feels good man

USfags in SHAMBLES

peace is a much better option and should be pursued with greater vigor, hoping cooler heads prevail in all of this escalation going on and a real deal can be struck soon. nobody wins in war and conflict, just a lesser loser.

the problem is china won't stop. I believe war is inevitable
And to make peace happen, we must be prepared for war. And if we can't achieve peace through strength, then we will achieve peace through victory
So the calculation remains the same. We build up the military, hope we don't need to use it, but it's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it

Brutal but we always knew hyperinflation was a given. I'm starting to consider holding swiss francs or something or even going full boomer and hoarding gold

Cool flag, what country is that?

that image gave me a good laugh

rare flag

I bet we tariffed them too, just like the penguins
take that, san marino!

TSLA in the green

dollar is dying

Also

Portfolio Management in february +0,5%mom in March reading

Portfolio Management for february in April reading +8,1% mom

Big revision
also a minor revision at other components, but portfolio management is brutal
eeeh revision?

tea leaves are telling me oil stocks are gonna run today. xop is down over 20% since the tariff tantrum and still hasn't filled any of it's chart gaps. energy demand is very real and set to increase significantly in the near future because of all the data centers coming online. they talk about it on glowievision all the time. i'm trading that today, i've decided.

I sold VTI that I have been buying since covid at 270, then I bought back in at 241.5. I hope that was the bottom or at least gave me some protection because I don't have time to watch stocks all day every day.

Tax haven in the thread.

XAU/USD ATH

EUR/USD went up at similar rate

I feel that's a pretty good indicator of USD collapsing

Boring day i bet

premarket is coiling up

another explosive diarrhea move to the downside today again, go all in on puts now

Untitled.jpg - 404x264, 35.58K

Explain it like I'm a woman. Will stocks be green or red? Cuts?

consumer sentiment coming.

They expect it to collapse to 50,8
Last month they expected 64 and it was 54,2

Just expect less

All highlighted numbers are the YOY PPI on those components.

Red highlight means it is higher than the other month (expect physician's care, fucked up colours there). Green means less inflation. Blue is same inflation.

Quite some of the PPI components that are also in PCE are higher this month than the previous.

On top of that the 13% of Portfolio management in March Reading was with a 0,5% mom increase, which now was revised up to 8,1% mom, so the yoy likely wasn't 13% but actually +20% yoy.

Despite PPI being lower this month, there are not few PCE components higher than last month which indicates PCE being higher or at least not going down.

Same thing was the case yesterday with CPI which also has PCE components.

Airline Passenger Services is the only component that actually significantly went down (negative, deflation)

Probably red, no cuts, no refunds

and actually, my horoscope is warning me pretty explicitly about financial decisions and trying to be too bold, so i'm gonna chill for a bit. it also advises me to seek outside knowledge, so i'm gonna watch /smg/ and try to learn from you all instead of telling you what to think today.

WTFWT

Oh and the chinks are baking off from the tariffs while rattling off some face saving excuse
Chinks broken and cucked. They will now seek to make a deal with honorable trading partner great and honored united states of america, okay?
You love to see it.
And the off ramp they made for themselves is good thing anyway. Just the cherry on top to see them back down first.

Premarket is wild

It would be nice to see oil companies come down a little more during this volatility. They’re already cheap as is.

IMG_3331.jpg - 1560x2333, 1.9M

What are the chances we undo all of the 10% rally today?

oil prices fell 15%

You did go all in on puts and inverse etfs right?

democrats think buying the dip is insider trading

bet euros will instantly increase taxes on it

Du bist einer der wenigen, der auf die Details schaut.
Meine "die werden einfach in minus davor schreiben" Vermutung scheint sich langsam zu materialisieren. Mal sehen, für wie lange.
Ich bin nach biz "umgezogen."
Nicht dass ich dort viel poste, aber es geht dort drüben informativer zu als hier.
Kann dich nur ermutigen, auch dort mit zu machen.

shut up man, your president outright told everybody to buy that same fuckin day

telling the entire world before hand

That is some amazing insider trading.

I wasted all my money buying in the premarket and sold it all five minutes later

Man. I got no money for puts today. feels bad man

What are the chances we undo all of the 10% rally today?

chinks cucked and have announced an off ramp to the tariff tit for tat
so we're gonna get a deal with them too.
I imagine the stock market will also go up on that news
so on that note, I need to set up a buy order once the market opens.

Ja, war auch ne Weile dort, aber mit Flaggen erkennt man denselben Poster (nicht die Person) schneller wieder in einer Diskussion. Und teilweise waren die politischen Diskussion echt zu viel für /biz. Ich laber hier nur so blöd rum, weil es /bant ist. Bei /biz war ich ruhiger die letzten Wochen. Werde mich mal wieder reinwagen.

It's info from the inside.

BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG
CAM ON LADS LET'S MAKE SOME FOOKIN' GAINZ
The same people bitching now had no problem doing it while Sleepy Joe was president. It's laughable

He probably meant that massive spike in calls 5 mins before the tariffs pause news

I want to see the 10y breaking 5 percent and the s&p down 40 percent from the top, and Trump and family and associates hanging from lampposts for grabbing valuable ideas (like controlling immigration and reducing government spending) and ruining them for the next century because of how they approached them.

In the same way Hitler ruined white people, these cunts ruined real conservatism and no one will vote for this anymore.

Expect trannies, faggotry, and retarded women everywhere. You'll have insufferable bitches who think that sucking thousands of dick a year increases their value somehow but only if they're niggers or Browns.

It's over for white men and for your wallet. Enjoy poverty

so on that note, I need to set up a buy order once the market opens.

nevermind, market just opened! perfect

fakest and gayest market

Insider trading, but let everyone in on it beforehand

Oh no you guys it's going to be another red day...

I want to see the 10y breaking 5 percent and the s&p down 40 percent from the top

Last time the 10y broke 5.0% (October '23) the S&P 500 was a measly 10% off its ATH.

the fed will make sure we never dip too far

uhhh intc, you good?

BLACKROCK’S LARRY FINK SAYS US IS VERY CLOSE TO A RECESSION AND MAY BE IN ONE NOW – CNBC

It's so fucking over

nice

I don't need BlackRock to tell me shit. I saw this coming mid February when no one was talking about it.

I have Bloomberg in the background and from Dec to Feb I think I didn't hear the word recession once on that channel

Nice

Good, I need cheapies and I still need to buy a house. So a market crash with increasing interest rates are good
