DOW about to close green whoever is propping up this market deserves hell

ItsyBitsySPYderman

Member in this dudes first term when he celebrated the DOW, crossing 25k as a huge success of his policies. Then 10 months later celebrated the DOW crossing 25k as a testament to his great policies, then about 8 months after that, he celebrated the DOW crossing 25k? I wonder if that's going to happen again.

noobtrader28

you guys are idiots if you think $58 dollar oil is bullish. The amount of job losses thats going to stem from low oil prices is gonna send the DOW back to 1930s levels

FC_Dubbs

I'm not understanding what he's getting at... The DOW when Biden took office was around 40,000. When he left it was 44,424. Trump started at 44,424 and is now back down to 40,200. Since he took office on January 20th, the market is down almost 4,000. Exactly where it was 4 years ago...

Deho_Edeba

The DOW's already regained 2/3 of what it's lost when it opened :o

beavis617

That’s my issue. Trump as best as I can tell has little to no authority over firing the Chairman of the Federal Reserve yet a few negative comments and tweets about how Trump was thinking about firing the guy sent the DOW Jones reeling as it lost like 2000 points! That’s pure bullshit! It’s market manipulation from the President of the United States!

nomnomyumyum109

If u gotta ask then yes. Trump is stoking inflation which caused the 2022 recession. I think the DOW bottoms out at $30k like last time as inflation will prob be where it was then if not higher.

AppropriateBattle861

The DOW was literally +2k points at the end of Bidens term. It’s lost over 5k points in the last 3 months, which is the exact time he announced the tariffs…make it make sense lol

No-Establishment8330

Thanks. Great advices! And DOW Jones seems pretty resilient

Aww, the racist little fascist is triggered that his god is doing such an awful job during his 2nd term and his approval rating is falling faster than the DOW. I am laughing at you fascists getting exactly what you voted for

It was a selloff at open from a fund is my two cents, a fast and furious GTFO but not many shares traded. The DOW was green for a bit to bait a few more, the tariff pressure was too much and sunk it good. The noise of the larger stocks going red is blowing over us like a tornado. All eyes are on Canada elections for direction. Tomorrow will be telling. GLTA.

Supply shock crashes don't start with tech stocks. NASDAQ dropping is just speculation. DOW dropping will be the real deal.

So short DOW until kingdom comes? Or I cum?

scooterm32a3

None of what I said is wrong, I don’t know why you’re having a tantrum over someone pointing out a rather significant fall in the market and the consequences of that. Some people had intended to start pulling from their IRA’s and investment savings or using it to make deals, a large dip has consequences. I know it’s recovering, but it doesn’t change that we’re still only halfway between the fall and the peak and that it’s affected people. If you look past your tears and *read the charts*, you can see that the NASDAQ and DOW are still not at their January peaks. I do have some good news *for you* though. Getting rich has more to do with luck than intelligence, so you still have a chance! Just like our president you too can have tantrums, do worse with your money than if you did nothing, and still be wealthy.

Advanced hedging: You open a trade. Your stop loss is 1000. Its losing.  You now remove the stop loss and open a hedge. But in bigger size than the original trade. Stop loss of the hedge is at break even of the original trade and 1000 again.  Your max loss stays the same but you gain a 2nd chance that potentially nets you a good winner. MM hate the trick. Now regards ... whats wrong about that thought? Bec. it just worked wonderful for me in DOW.

King-Doge-VII

UNH shouldn’t even be a stock anymore, literally shitting all over the DOW almost single handedly

DennyDalton

I disagree with most of the answers that you've received. Hedging a portfolio is very different than trading short term. Every few years when the market looks sketchy, I hedge a lot of my positions, some individually, some with SPY/IWM options. I buy IWM or SPY put LEAP spreads 10% OTM and 10% wide with a cost of about 1.5% of the proceeds being hedged. Because I'm comfortable shorting equities, 10% OTM gives me modest protection and between the two, I can offset a decent amount of portfolio loss. With a normal cooperative market during the year, I cover and re-sell the short puts and/or roll the long leg down, lowering the cost of the position of to a net outlay of half a percent or better. If the market is higher after 6-9 months and the short puts become worth very little, I close them, ending up with long protective puts which then provide full protection below their strike price. How effective they are depends on the index's current price. If the long puts have any decent salvage value, sometimes I roll them out to the next hedge to avoid the increased theta decay during the last few months. To be clear, the objective is to have 10% of inexpensive portfolio protection that is 10% OTM in the early part of the year. If it's later in the year, it turns into very low cost long put protection. In 2020, I had a lot of leftover long March SPY puts worth 10 cents two weeks before expiration. When the market tanked due to Covid, I rolled them down, selling them for $15 to $21. I rolled them down 2-3 more times that month. Between these leftover puts and individual position hedges, I was down less than 10% when the market dropped 35%. Reasonably easy to recover from. And this was despite owning several 1,000 share positions in large caps that lost more than 50% during the drop (CCL, DOW). I survived the collapse of stocks hit hardest by the pandemic because of this hedging. This year, the tariff talk troubled me. In early February, I bought Sep and Jan IWM $210 puts outright and I have rolled them down 3 times to $175, putting a nice gain in my pocket. They're now free and if the market manages to reverse, I don't care if they expire worthless. They offset a large chunk of my portfolio's loss which I booked and that is what they were intended for. Who knows, maybe they pay off even more in the next 4-8 months??? One mroe thing, if your long puts were intended as a hedge and they're nicely profitable, IMHO, roll them down rather than sell short puts against them.

Wonkas_Willy69

Nice. A paywall. Did you read it? They’re qualified to provoke you with a nonsense comparison. They may be technically correct but they’re comparatively irrelevant. What metric are they using? The DOWs average monthly decline in April? The DOW dropped 22% in April 1932. The 1932 drop occurred during a total economic collapse, with widespread bank failures, 25% unemployment, and a ~13% GDP contraction… the entire system was falling apart. April 2025 is driven by a policy shock (tariffs) and market volatility, not systemic economic collapse or long-term recession. October 1987: The Dow dropped 22.6% in one day (“Black Monday”). March 2020: S&P 500 dropped ~12.5% for the month; Dow had massive swings. September 1931, June 1930, May 1932: All saw extreme monthly drops (15%–20%) during the Depression… but just not in April. It isn’t even to worst Q1 since the depression.

NaiveMercury

Can we call DOW the "Cuck Index" from now on?

Today is Day 94 of the Harris administration. SPX futures receded slightly, last print at 6,872.50, QQQ pulls back to 598.67 after breaching 600 yesterday before close, DOW poised to open just below 45,000. In other news, Elon Musk cut the ribbon at Gigafactory Texas yesterday evening, as the first Tesla Roadster rolled off the production line. Tesla shot up 6% in after hours trading reaching $554 per share. Musk appeared jovial in a short press conference, the billionaire expressing his excitement and fear about SpaceX’s manned mission to the lunar surface in July. The 53 year old, recently out of rehab for ketamine addiction, seemed to be returning to the Tony Stark status once attributed to him in the late ‘10s

Sorkel3

Trump said he's not going to try to fire FED chairman Powell, which caused a 1,000 point drop in the DOW. He also said he's likely to lower the tariffs on China. Once again, reality sets in, and Trump has to walk back his rhetoric...until the next time. The stock market is like one of those hystreia prone people, it frequently over-reacts to things like this, IMHO. Also, Musk said he's going to step back from DOGE and focus back on Tesla.

oh please DOW jumps 1000 points just based on this comment? *"U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on April 22, 2025, that the ongoing trade conflict and tariff standoff between the United States and China is unsustainable and expects a de-escalation in tensions between the two largest global economies.".* I ain't letting go of my puts for that.

This sub has either the brain of a canary or of Henny Penny. Is the S&P not up 17% over 3 years. Is the NASDAQ not up 18% over 3 years. Is the DOW not up 11% over 3 years. These redditors have the emotional stability of a teenage girl.

Yes - oversights like that are why I'm terrible at this. But also everything's been moving the same direction so also the S&P and DOW and probably Bitcoin and Gamestop all conspiring against my gambling.

Boy. You’re sure right (as consumer confidence and spending plummets)! At least the DOW isn’t down 6500 pts in 100 days. At least every country on the planet isn’t making trade deals and leaving the US out. Oh shoot. My bad.

I bought leaps at the very top in February and I just saw a tweet state that the DOW Jones is on track for its worst April since 1932. I literally cannot make this up. I am simply at a loss for words. GOOG has set me back 3 years. Down 90% on LEAPS. I have until January for them to expire, but I just do not see GOOG going up 35 fucking percent by then. I’m a broken man.

The DOW has dropped 1000 points 11 times in history. 4 of those have been since “Liberation Day”

HatchingCougar

It took the DOW 25 years to reclaim its ATH due to the Great Depression  So (the danger of the way things are headed),.. 2050 just to get back to pre Trump levels.  In such a situ: If you’re 30, you’ll be 55 and likely still down overall (25 yrs of inflation).  Going to be one rough retirement  And if he really he keeps screwing up and the USD loses its status as the global currency reserve.  A 30yr old, short of winning the lottery… won’t be retiring .. at all

To be fair, it's MAGA, they might literally not know a 401k is an investment and works off the market. You've probably seen that soybean farmer who was devastated by tariffs right? Either they don't know or they literally have two faces about it and will accept it because Trump. The other thing is they literally only watch propaganda. Anytime the market takes a dip their propaganda pulls out some story about a trans athlete to make them angry, like they did when Fox literally removed the DOW ticker.

Individual-Habit-438

the relatively equal drop of DOW, SPY, QQQ, and IWM indicate a broad-based loss of confidence and not any sort of specific economic fear

AntoniaFauci

DOW now down 900+, on no tangible events. Just tweets from POTUS and related sentiment from those he’s referencing. In other words, there’s no actual even causing today’s crash. No bankruptcy filing, no oil spill, no key metric released. I personally think there’s room for a bounce.

ZPMQ38A

Honestly. I thought this was all a grift from Trump but…at this point, I actually think he believes what he is saying. I honestly don’t think he’s actively trying to con anyone; he seriously lacks the intelligence to understand the ramifications of his actions. He possesses the mental acuity of a 10-12 year old boy. The major problem this go round is that he has completely surrounded himself with enablers that are encouraging his behavior and telling him “good job.” Regardless of what I believe about their politics, I had hoped that Tulsi and Rubio could function as the adults in the room but they have 100% sold out and you can see in their actions that they know it. Tulsis last statements before Congress were very telling that she knows she’s sold her soul. Rubio legitimately physically ill every time he speaks as the propaganda comes out of his mouth. It’s insane to think that the future of the Republic may hang on a few SC justices like ACB and Kavanaugh but I believe that’s how far down the hole we are. He’s going to find a way to sack Powell and I think we might be looking at a sub 25k DOW. I think sub 30k is nearly guaranteed. The wild thing is that we are currently down 10%+ YTD and the effects of the policies really haven’t even hit yet. Once the actual purchasing class feels the hits, that’s when we go off the cliff. Just wait until a lot of the boomers log into their 401ks and start pulling money out in a panic. A run on the banks is not an unrealistic event at this point.

AntoniaFauci

DOW —790 now. As bad as the macro market is, maybe this will be a buyable intraday dip.
