The stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient.

I voted for this btw.

not really bro I have been patiently waiting for the inevitable crash and seeing my cash get raped away by inflation

The USD has no bottom.
Equities have no top.
Crypto assets have no top.
Gold has no top.
Real estate has no top.
Own assets or become a slave.

What if I want to own the bottomless blackhole money machine?

Red is happening on Monday. Tommorow we pump on Amazon and msft earnings

COVID was a wild time for companies going public at a massive price and then instantly crapping out. I lost so much on BYND.

Some of you guys are cool, so I'll let you know MULN is an easy multi-bagger. Hedgefunds and Trump loyalists have been short selling the crap out of the stock and it's been beaten to hell and back, but it could easily MOASS.

This market is too delusional so I'd rather risk $20 than $300. And I'm poor

Yes for supply shortages

We could just blow up their refineries, spiking the price of oil, then we can sell our oil at an inflated price while they're unable to sell any oil.

Our planet, our rules. If you don't like it then too bad pussy.

I assume they are unaware the consumers of Iranian oil are

China

India

we can bomb their refineries

They would hit every single refinery in the ME in retaliation the Mullahs know they are dead without oil why bother trying to have relations when your dead men walking anyway

SPOOK!

Do Americans ever look at shit like this and think maybe they're global bullies? The US has basically been trying to starve Iran into submission for the past 20 years with an economic siege.

You know the shitranians spends 20% of their GDP funding terrorists, right?

So we could sell our oil for 3 times the price, while they don't sell any oil. Then after we draft all the zoomers and invade the fuck out of them, we replace the ayatollah with some pro-israeli puppet. Then we have the puppet drill all the oil, and we can have cheap oil again while we let our oil fields refill.

History began yesterday

20% of their GDP

You pulled that out of your ass didn't you?

Do Americans ever

How to instantly know the rest of the post is going to be low IQ ESLtard trash. Didnt read btw.

I'm sure this will speed up our trade deal with China. China will definitely respond positively to this.

Did you forget what happened on October 7th?

if you don't like my tariffs on china mr wall street you are now antisemtic

Queen takes pawn (F4)^3

wouldn't this be great for american energy companies?

A new report says that Europe is arguing that when services are considered that the trade deficit with the US is only €50 billion and they could bridge that by purchasing more natural gas and agricultural products.

Sefkovic indicated the EU would not accept a deal that kept tariffs at 10%, which is a critical point.

Stupid US niggers, you can have 50 billion, but other than that fuck you

I'm kind of out of the loop with news and happenings.
What happened to that one trade deal which was said to be signed any moment now but before it could get signed there needs to be one final confirmation before it finally can be revealed who the trade deal is with? Wasn't that the story a few days ago?
Any development on that? Do we know yet?

Not at the current price of oil and the US is entering a recession that's bad

That was with India. Unfortunately, we just decided to sanction them instead, so there will probably not be an India trade deal.

Its going to be signed in

checks notes

Two more weeks, trust

Americans want to keep 10 percent at a minimum

What a great deal for every country

Why would other countries care about internal policies like import taxes on US citizens?

It puts their exporters at a disadvantage. I know this is concerntrolling but you know there’s a reason you put these tariffs into place in the first place

Democrats when real GDP declines for two consecutive quarters under Biden due to extremely high inflation:

Well, we just closed the great gathering of The Economists and we have decided that instead of GDP, we will now use GDP + GDI, >and for an entire year too,

and only when Republicans are president of course

GDP is a long flawed measure of actual growth under Democrat presidents

except when it is positive

in which case it's the most glorious number ever invented

We shall also adjust real GDP for inflation, which gives us realest GDP

Biden is a vibrant young man who is intimate with Jill every other evening, by the way. Just tossing that out for you.

The more you import, the wealthier you are >And inflation actually helps the poor because it makes their debt cheaper

So take that, maga

GDP + GDI is what we shall be using until you hear otherwise

BEA releases GDI and it's also negative.

Well I mean GDI is just stupid. Who even heard of it before

Instead, we are now using (GDI-GDP)/GDP, >and if that is something that I can pass off as looking good to Paul Krugman and Heather Long

we shall say it is good and you are also forgetting how Kamala Harris works at McDonald's too.

That contributes to GDP

Also the economy is booming so much that Powell needs to cut rates immediately because that is what a sensible economist would demand

that the Federal Reserve cuts rates when the economy is doing very well as we told you it is doing with our new (GDI-GDP)/GDP metric >Inflation is reduced by inflation reducing acts that increase government spending

Maga doesn't know this but they're actually richer than they've ever been under Biden specifically because they can buy gas for $7 a gallon

Only the rich can afford gas at $7 a gallon, and thus if you buy gas now that means you are rich. Richer than ever

According to GDI I mean GDI-GDP

How likely is it that spy pumps like 5 points before close?

Noooooooo don't sanction the terrorists!!!

If you removed the whole rush of imports from the equation of the Q1 numbers we actually grew at 3% last quarter, and we haven't even really gotten rolling yet. ;-D

we remove the imports

Worst performers were exporters that will only get worse with supply chain crunch

Found some Amazon data, slurped 12 shares earlier for a small play just hoping for quick 5% bounce but not overly optimistic with tariffs. Not optimistic on Apple for the same reason but Tim Apple might just pull it out of his ass

IMG_1351.jpg - 1084x1935, 1.73M

and once these trade deals work themselves out, we'll be exporting so much shit there won't even be a recession. Like lmao, go ahead and bet against the back to back world war champions. I hope they're giving you good odds, not that they matter.

we get a recession under Biden

they just change the definition of a recession

media trips over themselves to justify this change

we get a single quarter of negative gdp

according to the old way this isn't a recession

even according to Biden's new BS way we're not in a recession

suddenly now it's alarm bells and full media pushing panic

I would be mad but this is letting me buy a lot of really good stuff at a discount

There's always something, isn't there?

It's over.

We only had one negative quarter of GDP growth under Biden

How far do we have to go back in time to find the same thing happening?

Not far. October 2023 to March 2024 had similar periods. The whole thing was just straight climb until mid March with only 4 red weeks in a total of 22 weeks. Doom bull can run.

Today is the 8th straight day of gains for the S&P. It's the longest winning streak since November 2023

ssshhhhhh I'm trying to sleep here

I just don't swallow propaganda like you do. Try forming independent opinions sometime. You might like it.

New Golden age my fellow MAGAs

Man, Melania really hit the wall. How do we short women?

You could ask trumpno to put tarifs

We had two quarters of negative growth, but then they revised the numbers so that Joe Biden wouldn't have egg on his face.

I took a nap, ARVNchads, how we doin

Does anyone know of any economists that have remarked on the fact that the S&P now returns, on average, 20% per year? As opposed to the all time historical average of 8%? Seems like something that people would notice and call out, that the stock market is consistently performing 2.5x better in the past half decade than it ever did in all years preceding it.

What did you think them saying that past performance is not indicative of future results was supposed to mean the market was going to give less returns?

The figure always get revised. It doesn't matter either way, Biden's recession was because of increasing interest rates while Trump's was one of his own doing.

Lmao. "Disclaimer: There is significant risk your returns will be much higher than expected."

I regret ignoring my gut feeling to buy NTDOY, but weren't you also telling people to buy HAS at an all-time-high late last year?

Doubt.png - 760x572, 247.23K

bobos when the spot one negative pixel

What holiday do you think the (((markets))) celebrate retard

It's fairly well accepted this comes down to 1) mostly increases in pe ratio 2) the fact that America is more business friendly

Emerging market is keeping up with us pretty well in earnings but no one wants to buy so it trades like small caps

we really finna crab till the bell rings damn

Might be a good time for some after-hours trading. MSFT and META earnings made everything pump this morning, including dumb shit like LUNR. "Good news" from AAPL and AMZN might have the same effect.

Increases in PE ratio are an effect, not a cause, though. And if America being more business friendly was a reason, you would not expect PE ratios to increase along with stock prices, because something like that is a genuinely bullish thing, whereas PE ratios increasing in tandem with stock prices literally mathematically means the stock prices are increasing for no tangible reason.

everyone who buys oil from iran (primarily china and india) can't trade with us anymore

deal with iran is going great tho

deals with china and india are going great too

sounds like a good time to buy nvda aftermarket

nigger

So I take it AMZN and AAPL missed, huh?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

A crazy dump is incoming.
Everytime most people think it'll go a certain way it goes the other way. I'm buying puts.

It's because of the long recovery after the great recession followed by printing our way out of covid recession while Europe was basically shooting themselves in the foot with austerity. Meanwhile China, which is usually the other big growth player had their real estate market collapsing at the same time.

I've explained it once. GDP get revised, even YEARS later. Also during Trump's first term.

when do you think

It's Q1 earnings retard, so ending march 31st
Any misses will be due to demand dropping before liberation day

APPL gets more from China than America

it's their biggest market

China is heavily pushing their own smart phones instead

it's gonna be red most likely

On the bottom, you see they are revising even the GFC.

The pump from yesterday's low to yesterday's close was 2.5%, before any bullish news had even come out. Today, with actual bullish earnings out in the open, it only increased 0.7%. Really activates one's almonds doesn't it? Almost as if the big players knew the news yesterday before it actually came out.

would be cool if P/E was limited to 10 with a "USE IT OR LOSE IT" act, and any excess money was automatically redistributed to smaller businesses so that they can grow

DING DING DING DING DING

How did it go today?!?!

Does anyone know of any economists that have remarked on the fact that the S&P now returns, on average, 20% per year? As opposed to the all time historical average of 8%?

many many people have talked about this
It's a common talking point, along with saying it's a bubble and mostly propped up by tech stocks or even just the mag 7, and the other 493 stocks aren't doing nearly as well
It's a tired talking point at this point

Seems like something that people would notice and call out

Yes, many people have

Did we just see insiders dumping before earnings?

Tempted to buy Amazon but I simply won’t. Won’t buy on a green day. Just won’t do it. Sorry.

Maybe next quarter but not this one

I'm somewhere between bargaining and depression on my puts, maybe also closer to acceptance, I don't know...

Well, considering that my portfolio is random bullshit I felt like investing in, and I haven't done it in two years, I feel like .7% returns for the day is acceptable. Tomorrow will be better I just know it!

A good day. Most of this is fake, my brokerage calculates asset value by the ask and not the mark, bought a bunch of puts from low liquidity sources so it looks like a loss but isn't really. In reality I'm a little up for the day, but not much. In good position for the coming weeks, is the important thing.

Unironically market manipulation. Just look at the massive profits reported by all the trading desks. A bunch of big players pump and dumping the rest of us.

I assume by "money" you mean "unrealized capital gains" right? Because a high P/E ratio does not mean the company is sitting on a bunch of excess cash or anything of the sort; more likely the opposite, in fact. And if you do mean unrealized capital gains, that is unfortunately a retarded and logistically un-implementable idea.

Guidance drives the market these days simple ass. Amazon was mostly in line and guidance was in the expected range therefore dump eet

Bad guidance

Amazon Second Quarter 2025 Guidance

Net sales are expected to be between $159.0 billion and $164.0 billion, or to grow between 7% and 11% compared with second quarter 2024. This guidance anticipates an unfavorable impact of approximately 10 basis points from foreign exchange rates.

Operating income is expected to be between $13.0 billion and $17.5 billion, compared with $14.7 billion in second quarter 2024.

This guidance assumes, among other things, that no additional business acquisitions, restructurings, or legal settlements are concluded.

that fall in AAPL AH price

Why it falls down? Damn whales are selling, cause now they have liquidity I thought they are going to do this next days, fuck.

I double checked and it was worse than I thought. People spent 1k on 121 puts. Jesus.

...it's a literal penny. Why do you think the dividend even matters?

P/E ratio is merely 212, anon. There's plenty of room for the price to go up.

PROJECT HAMILTON. THE SHADOW INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE U.S. CBDC.

Am I just making this up? IS THIS JUST A “CONSPIRACY THEORY?”CLICK HERE.

The MIT Digital Currency Initiative is one of the most powerful institutions nobody’s talking about. While everyone’s distracted by public debates over inflation, interest rates, and headlines about “maybe someday” CBDCs… these people are already writing the code of your future. Quietly. Methodically. With full access to the central banks of the world.

Most have no idea it even exists.

What Is It? Project Hamilton is a joint research project between:

The Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, and the MIT Digital Currency Initiative (DCI).

The Digital Currency Initiative (DCI) is a research arm of the MIT Media Lab, based at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Founded in 2015, it was created to study, build, and influence the development of digital currencies, blockchain tech, and monetary systems.

Why This Matters

Because the DCI is writing the digital DNA of programmable money. Shaping the philosophy behind digital control systems. Training the next generation of technocrats who will manage the global monetary reset.

It launched to explore what a U.S. Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) could look like not just theoretically, but technically. This is the project where the code, ledger structure, and transaction throughput of a digital dollar is being built behind closed doors.

Phase 1: BUILDING THE ENGINE

Released to the public in early 2022 but most people missed it.

Two separate architectures for a CBDC:

• "Atomizer": a high-speed centralized processor

• "2-Phase Commit": a decentralized ledger approach

• One version processed over 1.7 million transactions per second in lab conditions. Let that sink in. It makes Visa look like dial-up internet.

It doesn't matter what particular ideology the sub has (though most of them are far left liberal), it's the fact that they actively censor any opinion that isn't aligned with the sub. The whole site just attracts the lowest, most subhuman scum on the internet from both left and right.

AAPL

Good earnings

100B buyback

dump

GOOG

God earnings

70B buyback

barely does shit, if not dump

Why don't the just announce -70% earnings or whatever like TSLA so they can pump +8%?

The implications? The hardware and software needed to support a national CBDC at massive scale already exists. And it’s built by the same elite institutions that helped design Bitcoin’s cryptography.

What Was Hidden in the Fine Print?

Project Hamilton is not about launching a CBDC yet… it's about ensuring the Fed has a working prototype and can move at will when the time is right.

It focuses on. Performance & scale (not privacy).Token-based architecture (cash-like, but programmable)

Phase 2: BEHIND CLOSED DOORS (Post-2022 to Now)

MIT has gone silent on the next phase. It’s no longer public-facing. They’re now testing wallet integrations. Exploring ID-based restrictions (yes, as in: you must “verify” to receive funds). Quiet coordination with private firms like Amazon Web Services, Mastercard, and Google Cloud. Advanced work on “time-bound” funds (money that expires) and geographic restrictions (only works in certain zones).

The Real Threat… Project Hamilton. Tt will be sold to the people as “This is fast, fair, and for your safety.”

Bottom Line. Project Hamilton is the testbed for FedNow’s future. The hidden foundation of programmable money.

GM

Slightly down which is bullish for inflation but will be spun as VERY NO GOOD BADBAD.

Did apple announce good? Its still bot colored for me
Why dump then

It's a shit sandwich either way
If it's below expectations, then the economy is contacting faster than anticipated
If it's above expectations then rates will stay higher for longer

Probably bearish I expect unemployment to rise due to a number companies announcing job cuts

Sure you have

I was really good at predicting earning this time, got MSFT 440c May 16th, AMZN 180p (also calls) PYPL 68C. I am pretty poor so only made 1200$ on this stuff but was still pretty rad. I blew 50 bucks on AAPL.

Sometimes people get weird about earnings until the call, Apple could be +5% tomorrow if they hype how they have decoupled from China like that one anon said and because of that China tariffs will not affect them.

i just bought a bag of this. MOVE is either skyrocketing or going to 0

I wouldn't want to be short this economy the moment China caves under the pressure.

please tell me when you will sell

already did, premarket today
am now switching from NVDL to NVDQ, will close position when it hits 90-100

guys sometimes i stare at the chart and whisper "go up" repeatedly

Unfortunately due to the death of most forums and the social enclosures caused by discord it remains as one of the only vestiges for tech support and DIY so it is sadly here to stay.

China caves

Any day now

any candle blowers in the thread with us?

holy shieeet

anyone got discord and want to smoke weed with our cams on

hell yeah brother let me go grab my JO crystal

I fucked up and planned my puts for tmmrw
But AMZN didn't stick the landing and I worry

WTF happened near close???? What was that dump

Ahahahahahahah yeah. Let's take dabs together.

Any proof? I'm not your exit liquidity, sorry pal

democrats are one person and constituency

also i guess the right is losing the ability to meme?

Cute.

I agree, we need to keep cheap, exploitable labor in the US.
Though if prices go up and people buy products, that is an increasing spending.

I haven't posted here in a while. I figured I would warn some of you.
For the past 6 months I've used an AI advisor that I programmed. I'm up 15%. Might not be much to some of you, but its with a lot of money for a company you HAVE heard of.
This is what the AI has to say about the current situation [summarized from 20 pages]. Read carefully:

The Hollow Market: A Covert Thesis on U.S. Economic Illusion in 2025

In 2025, a clear gap has formed between apparent market strength and economic reality. While GDP shrinks, the dollar weakens, and bond yields flash warnings, a handful of mega-cap stocks remain stable. This suggests not natural dynamics, but covert stabilization to maintain public confidence.

The U.S. economy contracted by 0.3% in Q1 2025 amid import surges, inflation, and softening demand. At the same time, the U.S. Dollar Index dropped nearly 4%, counter to typical flight-to-safety trends. Bond markets signal trouble: inverted yields and falling 2-year rates point to downturn fears and fiscal doubts.

As small and mid-cap stocks decline, mega-caps like Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Amazon remain elevated. This isn’t coincidence—they serve as infrastructure and optics. These firms power cloud services, AI, and consumer ecosystems. Their stock performance props up ETFs like SPY and QQQ, masking broader weakness.

This thesis contends that the U.S. government and aligned financial forces are subtly supporting these firms through repo market liquidity, sovereign fund coordination, buyback leniency, passive flow channels, and narrative management. No direct buying is needed—just systemic nudges to keep the illusion intact.

This split is unsustainable. If even a few megacaps stumble, passive strategies could collapse. Trust in the dollar and economic leadership is already slipping. If the illusion fails, the fallout will be swift and severe.

This is not paranoia. It is early recognition of controlled decay.

Ohhh tank the ancestors you have warned me of the corruption! I will revere your advice greatly and sell all my America equity very fast! Truly America has lost the Mandate of Heaven.

2008 started in mid 2007
Yeah yeah sure, you've never been to Oovoo javer
Seems broadly sensible, insofar as just being bearish, but

As small and mid-cap stocks decline, mega-caps like Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Amazon remain elevated.

The Russell 2000 hasn't done especially poorly compared to Nasdaq though?

it's over.

Its down 18% from highs.
SPY is down 8% from highs.

Kato says that Japan's huge US Treasury holdings are among the tools it can wield in trade negotiations with the US, and then adds that whether Japan wields that card is a different question

Also fuck Griffith. His time is almost up.

Hmmmm that is quite bad, although it's been mostly between inaug and lib day, which is surprising. Since lib day it's been pretty close, so that would suggest that market psychology rather than intervention has been driving recent moves.

fuck griffith

indeed xoxo

based

Perhaps I could clarify again.
Over the past 5 years, SPY is up 68%.
Russel is up 20%.

Something is wrong. Something is breaking. And in the past couple of months my suspicions are growing. I've always been early to things and it has often lead me to being mocked and called crazy, but it has also netted me a lot of money. Blessing and a curse.
The market is hollow and propped up by the US government for national security reasons and to appear strong when it is weak. Your call if the show can go on. I'm just letting you know there is a stage.

I find your typing style to be quite self important, there are lots of people like that on here with no way to tell between them. I do think the S&P is massively overvalued, that's not really controversial. But rather than something being horribly broken, the rest of the economy is growing at normal (i.e. developing market) rates, and if the S&P collapses it will be a US hangover. How much US government intervention there is in megacap prices I'm not sure, I haven't seen anything that suggests that. But I'm not a meme line algo trader
