Yea, they truly were. Can you imagine this market when the tides turn in Washington?!
Yeah, it could be ugly that's for sure.

The housing market just shouldn't crash, it needs to crash. It needs to crash hard. Houses are extremely overpriced in multiple markets and when the majority of the population holding them dies off they'll really crash since the generations following them will not have as many people. They also really have to get rent under control it's ridiculous how much places charge. We can't keep a big crash off forever no matter who says anything. The market will tank too.There’s a post on my local community’s Facebook page about someone trying to sell their home by owner and there are hundreds of replies/comments under the post from realtors saying they want to help sell it. “Please I’d love to help.” “Reach out to me” etc.. real estate is so over saturated it’s unbelievable. People are poor. No one is moving. No one is going to move if rates drop to 4-5% because people who bought houses 4+ years ago are married to a 2.5% rate and low house payment. There’s no incentive to move. So my theory is the powers that be will be forced to shake this thing up because if it becomes stagnant it’s bad news. I think a hard landing down the line is inevitable and this is one of my reasons.
I mean I can see a scenario where things drop pretty drastically. People who bought years ago can still have great equity in their homes with a significant market correction. It’s certainly what we need. It does capitalism no good to have the majority of the population walking around house poor. They’re saying the data doesn’t show that the consumer is in a bind right now but I just don’t believe that. I know my spending habits have changed significantly and I’m not special. I have a decent amount of savings and even I am terrified. There’s a stigma out here where we don’t want to talk about these struggles and fears with one another and I think they’re encouraging that stigma with their counter “consumer strong!” propaganda. These are my thoughts.The housing market just shouldn't crash, it needs to crash. It needs to crash hard.

@KyloG ......What are you looking at today? Thoughts on INTC with the potential subsidies from the ChipAct?
Bought some TQQQ dip here... $54.80...was watching to see if they undercut the morning low and then bounced...hard stop at $54.50.
Unless NVDA earnings have leaked then I doubt the shorts will keep things pressed low into earnings tomorrow. It's going to be very tricky....NVDA could roll the entire market or it could squeeze everything too.

I’m a gambler and I’d like to gamble it. Best guess is they try to run it up a bit into earnings after close but either way I’d fade todays direction if I were playing earnings. Please don’t listen to me thoughWhat are your thoughts on NVDA today?
One of the days/weeks/months China trade might be appetizing. It hasn't done anything for years.
I remember back in early 2021 I met with a financial advisor whose recommendation was to sell tech stocks and buy foreign equities, including China. She was right on tech, somewhat...tech just broke out from it's 2021 ATH but China scares me.
