DOW

Dawn_Of_Exile

The DOW fell hard today because of the Federal Reserve's 2 day meeting commencing, so if you feel like you're getting wrecked today you are not alone, most stocks are down heavy compared to normal with a few outliers!

Oops I did it again, I played with your stonks, got lost in my calls Oh baby baby, oops you think I'm long DOW, that I'm sent from JPow, I'm not that autistic.

As long as we get them paychecks of mericans in the DOW and SPX we gucci for the rest of the time

SirGus-

Most people are employed by small businesses. Small businesses are not integrating AI at all level to significantly impact employment, they are likely impacted by tariffs and looking for cheaper capital to help with the transition. Don’t equate the economy with the S&P or DOW.

That is very true. I mean people point to covid crash and 2022 bear market. But we have not really had a true bear market since the Global Financial crisis. I mean covid crash was so fast and sharp it was more like the 1987 stock market crash. It recovered so fast to all time highs and beyond in less than 6 months and was close to all time highs again in like 2 months LMAO. Hardly a bear market. The 2022 when FED started to put money printer in reverse (which they still are) and raise interest rates, only the NASDAQ and tech stocks broke. SP500 mild. DOW never got close to bear market in 2022. And before anyone says oh the DOW is a flawed methodology, noit really, It hs less stocks but it is 30 blue chip companies. So they did not have a bear market and mild correction. No opportunity to buy blue chips at much discount. Yeah last true bear market to last is Global Financial crisis, It actually lasted only 17 months, but all 3 indexes went down big and dead cat bounces at times before complete implosion late 2008 and bottom early March 2009. To me that is the last true bear market. 2020 was more like a fast sharp bear market crash that lasted all of 30 days not really a lasting one for 6 months or more. 2022 while it went on for more than 6 months it was only tech stocks and some SP500 and it barely approached bear market while blue chips DOW had minor correction and never got close to bear market. We have technically been in a full non stop secular bull market at last since March 2009 to present with only minor pullbacks or a rare sharp pullback that was extremely fast and short lived. There has been no true bear market since the October 2007 to early March 2009 period.

Only the Nasdaq had 80% of value wiped out. The DOW and S&P500 had only over 40-50% wiped out from March 2000 to late 2002.

***What are some thoughts on how this might play out..........*** The weekly jobless numbers came into today sorta high at 263,000 jobless claims. First time above 250,000 weekly loss jobs since 2021. But CPI inflation was still under control at 2.9%. What does this mean & what will happen? **First the stock market is not the ecomony.** The stock market had a broad rally today across all sectors and all market caps because of the bad news with jobless claims. **The bad news was good news to the stock market.** This bad news will force the Federal reserve to lower interest rate next week, so the job market doesn't fall apart. The Fed Reserve meeting on 9/17/25, next week will probably lower interest rates because the job market is degrading. The stock market already has this bake in today with the rally and might not rally on this action next week. Unless the rate cut is 0.5% versus expected 0.25% cut from 4.5 to 4.25%. Mortgage rates 30 year have already declined to 6.47% from 6.9% and should boost the housing market. I think the fed will do 3 rate cuts downs at 0.25% each to 3.75% before the end of the year and they will monitor what happens with Trumps tariffs action or inaction. The blue collar job market might be improving as illegal immigrant are self-deporting or force deported by ICE. The white collar jobs are alreay being replace by Ai software. Americans are replacing the immigrants leaving the USA. New manufacturing is relocating back to USA to aviod tariffs. The tariffs are another wild card and so far hasn't cause a major disruption or inflation surge. The stock market is a forward looking type and reacts more on the news rather the actual event, such as the day of the rate cut. The rally already happen today with the DOW +617 and NasDaq +157. So the rate cut is already baked into the market today and not next week. Good luck investing.

##Rotate out of tech to still beaten down things like: UPS, OXY, DOW, CNC, WHR, heck even UNH while you still can. I beg you, the downfall is coming. You don't have to sell all, simply diversify gains or even gains from the past quarter. Source: been here 8yrs and haven't wrecked an account yet.

Silverdollar475

The DOW is fake and gay at this point

Escaperisk

When unemployment goes up the Fed lowers rates which jump starts the stock market to new highs. Somebody had to lose in order for the rest of us to win. It's actually always been this way. DOW/S&P/NASDAQ are hitting new highs each day. We live in country of haves and have nots and that's never going to change.

BobAndy004

SPX since jan 21 is up around 7% DOW is up like 1800 points. Whats that 1% lol.

I know there is an understandable focus on the US but what is going on with Canada? TSX has been on a massive rally. Unemployment is at an unbelievable 7% with another 65K jobs lost. If the US had this kind of numbers, there would be riots everywhere and the DOW would be plunging as the umemployed draw down their stock investments.

"We will DEFINETLY be having a 2000-2010 moment." I've been thinking that for the last 5 years! Remember when the DOW was 13000 and there was book called "DOW 30,000!". It's now 43,000!

Princess-Donutt

Just checking, you know I was being cheeky right? Not many of these products existed prior to the Great Recession, except for one that I can find: Proshares 2x leveraged ETF: UGY on the DOW JONES Financials index. Check out its performance during 2007-2009. https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/UYG/ It peaked above $500 (split-adjusted) in 2007. By March 2009, it traded under $10. A 98% loss. It has never recovered.

DOD would be named as department of war (DOW). Bullish for DJI

FartCanCivic

Personally I would choose SPLG, SPYG, or SPY itself, nothing against VOO but for those who invest over time with tidbits, sometimes it’s a good idea to “jumpstart” the investment by picking up extra buying power where you can (do not say share price matters here, they will tear you a new one). Once you get into your corporate years I highly recommend VOO or VII as they are pretty guaranteed to cover 80% or so of your retirement in full or through monthly pulls. I’d say a higher number but if you stay a normal passive investor I can’t really say with certainty that that’s what’s going to happen, but from history it would seem to place that number as a safe bet. Ultimately for things like ETF’s that track the S&P or NASDAQ or DOW or whatever, share price doesn’t mean as much, if you can do fractional investing, you could stick with VOO and receive similar returns. Ultimately this is just to say share price just looks scary to new comers, it is used as a tool for different things, if you cannot buy fractions of shares, go with SPLG/SPYG and buy full shares when you can.

Department of War? DOW? Bullish.

How’s the Long Weekend DOW looking?

Raydawgms

It's almost like the tariffs are "FAKE NEWS" and it's just the 14 trillion dollars worth of "FAKE NEWS" tariffs (8 trillion initially plus 6 trillion from the combination of the Tax Revenue & some from The Deficit) that will be up for grabs soon on the market. 46K peak on the DOW, 32K dip (will look like a crash temporarily), then a 5.3K roll-up that lands at 37.3K at the end of the market adjustment (18.91% or 19% relevant to the DOW) My wager is this: those "FAKE NEWS" tariffs are just a smoke screen b/c of the political climate. Those percentages reported for each country are just stock market projections relevant to their nations wealth & their market adjustment/correction/crash percentages. Take a look at the chart on The White House website. Those percentages are in blocks of 5, however, notice a few of them that are precisely 19%. 🤔 After the 19% market adjustment, prices for commodities will reduce precisely 46.428571% on Corporate Store Shelves (Corporate Rate reduction from 28% to 15% procures this number). Just say 47% off, hell make it 50%. The market will go up again and reach NEW HEIGHTS never seen before after this bubble pops. 32.17% Aggressive Growth for the next economic cycle. 12 Trillion dollars will get added to the pile that already exists ("Tax Cuts"). In 7-8 years from now, the DOW will peak at 60K, dip down to 41,500K, then roll back up to 48K at the tail end for a 20% market correction. The market has finally caught up to the People's needs. Capitalism for ALL AMERICANS! Jobs that PAY WORTH A DAMN! THE GOLDEN AGE IS HERE!! We MUST tighten the National Debt soon in order to make it sustainable unto us all, with low taxes for every American! It WILL be done in 3 1/2 years from now.

Pure-Meat4016

first time hearing CRDO and DOW

C_B_Doyle

Exactly — in the 1970s, the dollar really did get destroyed. Double-digit inflation year after year shredded purchasing power. That decade was far worse for the average person than anything in the past 45 years; even though the DOW went up nominally, real returns were basically zero or negative. The visual tricks with linear vs. log plots don’t change that reality.

ildimoney

“Linear is for people who don’t understand exponential”.. he says to defend his linear plot of USD purchasing power. Just like linear would make the past look flat for DOW, the same is true for the PP chart. It makes the recent years look flat. Inflation targets are percentage - i.e. exponential growth in the nominal value of USD (or decline in the case of PP).

jimalloneword

This is somewhat true, the growth of stock and markets is propped higher due to inflation. But if you account for inflation, the markets still have "real" growth as well. The DOW had negative real returns (barely negative) in the 70s and 00s, and then very positive real returns in all other decades since the 70s. So it's not "your stocks aren't going up, the dollar is going down." It's more "your stocks ARE going up, AND the dollar is going down."

Something big just happened behind the scenes. DOW and RIO up bigly for no apparent reason after hours.

moorhound

Today's feeling kinda different because *everything's* dumping in unison. SPY down, Qs down, DOW down, 🌽 down, USD flat. Other red days during this rally just kinda shuffled one to the other; usually if markets are shitting the bed $DXY is pumping a half-percent to compensate. There's some of this tech dump getting rotated into consumer cyclical, but a lot of this moneys just straight up *going* somewhere, and by the looks of FX markets, it's Canada/UK/Korea.

saudiaramcoshill

>if DOW does have more domestic production (I'm not super familiar with their operations) and is less reliant on overseas supply chains, then yes, it may be a decent opportunity. All the demand is overseas though. We're not going to suddenly have massive increases in PE demand in the states.

saudiaramcoshill

I'm in the chemical industry. DOW is getting crushed by tariffs right now. Most chemical companies in the US produce in the US using domestic feed stocks and then export to China. Tariffs with China have destroyed that demand.

Familiar_Use_8237

If you got the money: Jan.15/2027 DOW $15 call Strategy 1: Make a safe 40% profit then sell your bag to the next guy. Stock is at all time low, two giant companies, been around forever, merged into one. Jan.15/2027 DOW $32.50 call Strategy 2: Just hold until expiration. My brother works for these guys. Has been working for them. They told him they were getting rid of his pension plan, has to sell it or something like that. Everyone in his situation has been cashing them out. Driving prices lower, they had some matching program, all gone. The company is penny pinching, I think we’re going to see a profit rebound, now they aren’t afraid to be dicks. Wouldn’t be surprised if they make some “rabbit from the hat”, largest buyback in history play.

st_nks

I'm a chemical engineer and I wouldn't touch DOW with a ten foot pole. I tried playing 3M way back and never recovered. DOW is nowhere near the level of execution as 3M

salty0waldo

Just wanted to add I was in DOW for a long time, terrible capital management that they are correcting. I exited prior to the previous quarter. I intend to re-enter this or next quarter. I am also eyeing LYB. A few other names are CC (refrigerant), EMN (vinyl), DD (speciality), CE (diverse)

Ok_Extension2820

I know a project manager at DOW, she’s a very smart and hardworking person so id trust her to make the stock go up a little

milocreates

DOW also provides a lot of gases, chemicals and equipment for chip fabrication which is the hottest thing right now. However, they are not as good as their competitors. They are doing better but I dont think they are the primary source.

salty0waldo

DOW and LYB are primarily commodities so polypropylene and polyethylene. They are hit hard by both tariffs and margin compression. CE, Westlake, and EMN have small commodity exposure. If the trough bottoms here, this is a nice base.

reflectiveatlas

Chemicals are going to be amongst the hardest hit commodities in tariffs; I went to Home Depot to pickup a product and it was double the listed price. AI is not a magic bullet, and while it may aid R&D for some things, I don't think we are currently at the stage where it can help in this area. That being said, if DOW does have more domestic production (I'm not super familiar with their operations) and is less reliant on overseas supply chains, then yes, it may be a decent opportunity. That coupled with the deregulation of environmental concerns and presumably less culpability moving forward could be positive headwinds for the company.
