Sure doesn’t seem like we’re the “hottest” country in the world.

Its not just Wall Street, its markets across the world. Guess what : the whole world still needs oil and gas for energy. Which means higher oil prices , which pushes up costs for everything which means more inflation Just as things were getting better. The US administration is turning everything into a never ending nightmare

Things were not getting better. This just accelerates the bad. I appreciate the optimism though

Might’ve felt that way because of what we’ve seen over the last year and a half-ish but things had been put in play to get to this point since the first Trump administration. Also, i’d like to know the time-frame the poster I replied to was talking about.

If only the US spent the trillions wasted on the war on terror developing green technology and becoming majority or even 100% renewable.

Dow is sub 50k “dollars” as Bondi says. Can we get upset about the Epstein files now?

Last I heard she was hiding out on a military base due to the threats she’d received

conflicts like that usually push oil prices up, which makes investors worry about inflation

And it sounds like this one is particularly bad for oil, LNG and even fertiliser. The consequences of this will last far longer than the end of the conflict. It could and likely will get a lot worse

The sniveling, mentally stunted, emotionally infantile dipshits who voted for him, the Nerd Reich that can throw cash into his face to do whatever they want, and the Nat-Cs who skipped over the whole "The apocalypse is on God's timetable, not man's" part of their holiest text and are desperately trying to kick off Armageddon? Those are about the only three I can think of off the top of my head.

It's down about .8% for the week. Roughly 5% since the war started. Like, I'm all for undeniable indicators that Trump is f****** up, but this isn't it right now. If it gets below 40k it would be a neon sign that shit is bad. Gas prices are going to be the biggest thing. $4/gal and we're not even using the summer formula yet. Inflation is going to be yuuge. Bond yields are in rough shape. He can't conduct a war without it. The Dow and the rest of the market are just a c***** though, completely devoid of reality.

Gas is up 30% in my area (I paid $2.59/gal for 87 3 weeks ago, its now $3.39/gal today).

Still relatively cheaper than the $4.00 in 2008, adjusted to $6.00 to today basically. Cars are also more efficient too (on average) Still see a ton of pumps with $10 or $20 on it

You did an excellent job of avoiding the statement. “A 30% price increase doesn’t matter because it was worse during the Great Recession”
