Does it reflect the unpredictable nature of markets, where gains and losses are part of the cycle?

Or does it highlight the broader impacts of economic systems on individuals and society?

This is basically choreographed. Profit taking so wall street can secure bonuses

Great time to buy. Sp500 is primed for 2025. PE ratio is perfectly normal. But people see that growth and think it’s all real.

If you adjust for inflation it really hasn’t made any gains since 2022. Price of VOO for first half of 2022 was around 420.

Only 529 today.

After two slow years it’s should be great for 2025.

Tough decision in November.
It was Sell and receive the capital gains to get taxed
Or

wait till next year when it goes back up and sell some of it.

The Federal Reserve comments today was what caused the sell off.

Be brave when others are fearful; time to stock up during a sale!

These aren’t realized losses. These are unrealized losses. Know the difference.

Try holding on to bitcoin, you’ll grow some balls.

I bought on the way down but yeah lost $34k today paper losses. Hard to see…

Me before lunch: Looks like a good day to buy.
Me at the end of the day: What the heck?

If the markets drop it’s a sale! Buy more at a discount and wait for the markets to go back up again.

You only lose money if you sell.

[David]

This is where you make money. Buy the dip sell it next week

[Grace]

my exact thought when I see the amount of people showing off their portfolio the last month or so….

[Jeffrey]

This time of year there is tax loss harvesting going on. In my experience, the start of a new year marks the end of these cyclical pullbacks.

[Brian]

Eh ill just take the before Christmas sale while hoping for a government shutdown to really tank the market short term.

Did people even watch the Fed news? HAWKISH tone. 2 rate drops expected all of 2025, puts the Fed rate at still around 3.5/3.75 all of next year.

Real estate ceos expecting 6% mortgage rates for the new 12-18 months.

Cost of borrowing will remain high for debt financing, hiring, capex or advertising.

Yes, this is an EOY selloff to lock in gains or tax loss harvest but also, major economic headwinds to start 2025.

[Steve]

Time for annual rebalance of your allocations since most of us are too heavy in stocks falling this years run up.
