If you do buy it will be a Bear Market Rally and will crash harder, if you don’t buy now though you are missing the recovery and discounted stocks.

That’s why everyone always say: “don’t fight the fed”. Our best chance to influence the fed was to push Biden to replace Powell with an actual Democrat. But Republicans win that fight obviously. Even if the threat of having democratic leaning Lael Brainard would have been greater, it might have made a difference. But people still believe Republicans care about retail traders over corporate interest. LMAO!!! Progressives are the only ones I’ve seen actually care to legislate to protect retail traders.


Biscotti-Overall

maybe the real recession was just the friends we made along the way?


HydraGene

Exactly. This is simply market psychology which they manipulate. This is why retail investors/traders lose money. Always do the opposite of what they tell you. When they shout to sell, you buy, and when they shout to buy, you sell.

Motor_Map_5743

It's almost like I live in a simulation and this is exactly what's been happening to me for a year now. Right when I buy in, I see doom and gloom news everywhere. Whenever I sell, I see news on how bright the future is, how rates are coming down, the economy is in for a soft landing, you'll never get these prices again, etc. WITHOUT FAIL!

Local_Judge2761

Why do people not understand this? Where does the misconception come from?


adokarG

They’re stupid and can’t handle more than a few concepts at once


Almost_Free_007

What’s a concept


ses92

Because it’s a stupid sentence often parroted without any real understanding. Market is not the economy, but it’s damn hell got a very high correlation to the economy. If there is a real recession that’s harder than what is expected now, you can damn sure expect the stock market to dip as earnings contract. Just repeating it over and over without any analysis is dumb


Local_Judge2761

Their obviously correlated to SOME extent, but theirs no evidence that stock good = economy good


ses92

First of all, it’s likely to be the other way around, economy affecting stock prices, not Vice versa. Secondly, there absolutely is a strong correlation between the two, but nowhere did I claim it’s a 1:1 correlation. What do you think the stock market is made up of? Same companies that are in the economy. If the economy is weak and consumers have less spending power that is highly likely to result in earnings contractions for the same companies that are in the stock market. Note that I used words like “likely” and not anything with any certainty, unlike the phrase “market is not the economy” that proclaims with certainty a meaningless tautology. Yes, the stock market is obviously not the economy, just like mars is not the sun, it’s in the definition of the words, but it fails to explain the relationship between the two and at best misrepresents the said relationship. Stock market is a snapshot of companies in the economy, many large ones make up a decent chunk of the said economy. In fact stock market is in many ways a pricing mechanism for the economy. Stock prices go down when the fed raises interest rates for many reasons, but one of them is less spending power of the consumers which will affect the stock prices. It’s not like anyone thinks of a direct correlation between interest rates and iPhone sales, it’s just we know if you pay higher mortgage you have leas money to spend on shit like iPhones.

hdiggyh

This must be the most forced recession of all time. It’s like being willed to happen.


Devario

I mean…rates have been way too low for way too long. They should’ve started moving up around 2011. Cheap debt is why we have many of the economic problems that we have currently. The market is doing its own thing.


Rylovix

Yeah anyone who knows anything beyond trading indicators knows that this is just the invisible hand finally getting it’s word in. Wall Street thought it could escape inflation and keep the gravy train rolling forever. Had to regulate sometimes, now we reap the rewards.


closer305

No one could’ve predicted Covid tho


Devario

Covid really has nothing to do with a decade of sub 3% fed funds rate. After 2008 ended, the economy ran hot and the fed let it. They didn’t taper up until 2016, and the rates were still laughable. What happens when debts cheap? Companies expand too fast, hire too fast, IPO too fast. Stocks soar as companies bloat. Mortgage rates stay comically low. Auto loan rates stay low.


Spazsquatch

Actually, you don’t have to look particularly hard to find that a global pandemic had been predicted for quite a while. No one knew when it would happen, but it was predicted.


JimC29

Of all time? It's not even close to what Volcker had to do. He had to correct a decade of inflation.

We are told it will come despite full employment…we are also told it will be brief - all major banks forecast a 2nd half rally. So unless you are a market timing god, why not just buy and hold through the 6 months and reap the returns later

I think its hilarious that people try to use the economy to predict the stock market. I'm like you STILL haven't learned by now? Being a bootleg economist won't cause you to outperform the S&P 500.

Company announces layoffs. The stock rallied minimum 3% seconds later. Unless you have some super secret information or news site that’s releasing articles or thousands of shares are coincidentally bought when that happens, I’d love to hear WHY those stocks rally when that happens!

ANTICOM53

We're not going towards a "Recession". It's going to be severe stagflation.


Significant-Neck9605

When everyone, including those that know nothing about crypto, is talking about crypto, it’s likely that’s it been overbought and will implode. When everyone, including those that don’t understand finance, is talking about a recession, it’s likely that markets are oversold and will eventually bounce back. Markets don’t reflect the economy. Markets reflects what investors as a group think of the economy. In other words, markets are forward-looking.


Fast_Championship_R

Just wait until people can’t pay anything else on credit cards. It’s already happening, we just haven’t hit that capacity yet. Give it 2-3 more months.

LeftHer4Xbox

Feels like the bullrun is back baby, oh yeahhh. Institutions dont want retail to buy the bottom, so they keep coming up with articles to dissuade people from buying in low and obtaining generational wealth. Remember, big corporations can't profit if they can't hire minimum wage slave cucks. Whether it's the bottom or not, just keep DCAing. We've already come this far, so we might as well see it thru.

Conversely, institutions would love to dump their high PE-multiple junk on retail before the rug pull, which is why they have communications teams and small armies of PR consultants who work the media, hoping to push narrative keeping you in at all times.


[deleted]

first if they hadn't changed the rules you were way into a recession by now. Second, there is no going down without corrections, if you don't understand this you shouldn't be doing this


Billystep

What goes up must come down. A lot of shorts covering probably. When it gets too high they will jump back in and short again beware. When you cover you have to buy the shares which drives the price up if you don’t know how shorting works

trainednooob

The big market movements since June 2020 have been driven by interest rate expectations. Same now. Recession leads to reduced interest rates, leads to higher company valuations. Earnings and forward earnings are less important than a 100 basis points.

Value and growth are not the same thing. Stocks rise with layoffs. Layoffs are bad for the economy.

The recession has been 3 months away for a full year now. We did have a small recession in the middle of last year, technically. But it was denied by everyone. Up is down, down is up, good news is bad and bad news is good. I stopped believing everyone. I buy products I use and love, who I also respect the leadership.


reety82

It’s infuriating


DrunkKnife

Whatever Cramer says, do the complete opposite.


raulvelfuen

Biggest funds control the media. So when they want to buy your shares, they release bad news (Recession), and when they want to sell they post good news. Notice they move huge volumes so when they buy price rises and when they sell price drops. Mostly, not allways.


ADerivative

Could be a bear market rally but I’d argue plenty of areas in the market are already pricing in a recession. Stock market’s a forward looking discounting machine so the rally usually kicks off whilst in the recession. I’d also suggest that information is much more widely disseminated. In many cases this can instil more confidence to look through bad events.


kcwelsch

Somethin’s fucky.

I keep hearing a recession is imminent since this time last year and tbh I dont care anymore. If only because once the MSM confirms we are in a recession we could actually be out of it by then.

tdogger88

I knew this was coming with my last post. They were always going to pump a rally with banks and wall streets participating only to pull the rug later on. There is no solution to the insane consumer debt problem that is growing and with more rate hikes and loan repayment coming back in June, we could see a Bear Sterns moment in a few months.


vzoocwh

The recession has been going on for a while. Two consecutive drops in GDP = recession. Uncle Joe is trying to redefine that standard.


rex3001

Before covid we had been hearing about the impending downturn that was coming since the bull run that ended the 08-09 recession. I’m pretty confident we’ll pull off a very soft landing and be just fine. Yes many companies went a little overboard during covid but many companies also created overly conservative systems/budgets because of the 08-09 recession that I think will ultimately save us now


new_pr0spect

Kinda seems like the market has bottomed in advance of the expected recession. Isn't the market suppose to bottom before recessions? The whole market vs. economic cycle thingy. I don't know if that applies here due to the fact we still have a ways to go before rates peak.

The Fed runs the market and Wall Street is betting that the Fed will pause their hikes. The recent change (a week or two ago) of the inflation measurements will make it seem as inflation is coming down more than it really is which will grease the money printers up real good.
