Once more, for posterity!

(or to go through the archive before moving on to new harvests >.> )

I feel the same way looking at the stock market these days. Those evaluations are way too high, and the market index is mostly just a handful of tech companies that dominate the value. This can't end well.

H-ha ha, d-don't you know there's no such thing as a tech bubble built on hype??

[–] henfredemars 20 points 2 days ago (2 children)

What scares me even more is that it might not behave like a bubble. I feel like the fed won't let bubbles pop like they're supposed to and let the market return to sane levels. It's too painful and too many rich people stand to lose so money if the value drops. They'll break out the money printers and make line go up.

The cost will be born by the workers. That's what I'm concerned about from a macro scale.

The magic phrases are

  • quantitative easing
  • bailout
  • despite losing 50% of its value this year, the dollar is still strong

They should invest in tulips instead, those are a sure thing to bank on

[–] CannonFodder@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

So short them and make bank.

The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

I buy value stocks and I'd moved into real assets to hedge, but I'm not confident the government will allow corrections to happen. We'll print money harder if that were to happen, and that kind of currency devaluation pain is felt essentially no matter where you are invested in the US.

Not sure why we need to memeify things that are already cartoons

I think the problem is that Trump and his regime learned from history and got inspired...

“Don’t call me a fascist” this is what you hear when you know history.

Sometimes it seems like being more educated is a curse to having eorse mental health, because what do you mean I'm not actually crazy when I see us facing the same issues we were seeing decades after we solved them.

How can I watch the part where the troops all wear short skirts again?
