money in the market is never lost if you an investor are long and you lose money it did not go into outer space the trader who is short the same market just got your money. so you lost your money because you are wrong - both politically and investing. but guess what someone else got your money and they are doing the happy dance.
I agree with you but so far literally every problem we've had they just swept it under the rug and pumped the market higher. So i guess this is the question. Is this time different?
If we look at the VIX then the problem we have isn’t the average problem we had. It’s closer from a pandemic than something the FED can fix. A bear market occurred in 2022 amid investor fear that the Federal Reserve's attempts to bring inflation down from a 40-year high would slow the economy too much, sapping consumer spending and business profits. I think current affairs are much worse than 2022 and that’s only the beginning (No signs yet).
No matter what the Fed says, currently, they will be forced bring the liquidity hose as usual. Skyrocketing Gold & VIX tells a tale of a panic coming. The US dollar is currently dropping but that could change if there is a 2008/1932 like collapse. People who are buying Euro/Yen/SF are betting on a normal drawdown but a serious crisis will bring treasury buyers back and thus a rise in the US dollar.
The fed will be unleashing trillions and trillions once again to this market very soon. There are stress cracks beneath the market and gold, the dollar and bonds are showing it, I believe we could have something much bigger than the financial crisis unfolding.... once liquidity freezes the entire market will need to be bailed out. This will have the fed printing trillions and trillions.....and just think that 1 person created this entire world downfall.
