SPX 6000 really is the bottom. Not even WW3 could make it drop below.

Zestyprotein

> The job losses are from tariffs, which rate cuts won’t help. And from AI. And Fed layoffs. We're looking at 300,000 federal jobs gone,which is the largest loss of federal workers since the demobilization after WW II. That doesn't even count all the related DC jobs that including consulting, and companies with contracts defunded, etc, which are probably another 300,000 by year end.

Tariffs? Priced in. WW3? Priced in. Civil War? Priced in. Complete collapse of the FED? Priced in. Robots making iPhones on Mars? Priced in. The end of democracy? Priced in. At this point I feel it’s getting “bubbly….”

Curious-Guidance-781

This may be true but world economies and governments (in the developed world) haven’t been this unstable since before WW2. Which was not a great time.

Says who? We were the lone global superpower after WW2. Now we are lagging so far behind Asia in technology, that our economy is dependent on them, and so they get to call the shots, not us.

Sufficient_Sport5251

Sure the shitholes are starting to deal more in Yuan, but developed countries building up forex reserves is different than beginning to trade more in a currency. BRICS has and never will be a powerhouse. Russia is on the way out as a world power and Putin doesn’t have much time left. Brazil is one to two elections or one economic downturn away from a military coup. India and China are in a Cold War, and i wouldn’t be surprised if Pakistans new military dictator is about to go to war with India in the next couple years. And South Africa has problems supply its largest cities with basic necessities like water and is one drought away from massive collapse, and may currently be being destabilized by us intelligence. East Africa which looked primed to develop once the spectre of Islamic terrorism passed fell to multiple military coups in the past few years. I wouldn’t be surprised if the death of the current Saudi King at some point soon(he’s 89) sometime soon ends up being a factor leading to a Saudi Civil war/wider middle eastern war. Egypt and Ethiopia are one drought away from a war. If article 5 gets invoked which is looking more and more likely every day, that probably sparks a rehearing of the Korean War. Iran will be bombed to the Stone Age if article 5 gets invoked to ensure that the strait of Hormuz isn’t blocked. The fact is the world is about as close to war as it was in January 1914 it will just take a bit more for a world war to start and the one thing the US can do is win a conventional war. Thus returning us through massive short term pain back to the spot the US had as global hegemony at the end of WW2

Can people, for the love of god and all things regarded please.. stop talking about what you did in the WW2 era or pre-9/11 era or pre-2001 era... choose one... either way. stop. Nobody cares. This is an era where microprocessors are literally about to become nanoprocessors. We are in the upper middle of this curve that ends in processors becoming smaller than what the human eyes can see. The future: nanoprocessors, our grandchildren...nah, I would be bold enough to my say my children will live it before they are 18 --- like within 20 years, we will be at the lower end of the nanoprocessor curve. your old ass tales have no meaning at all. You live in a completely different world; the only things that didn't change are us animals and human nature. This future world will render that lack of change completely irrelevant. You people have no idea.

Happy_Discussion_536

Part of it I think is that on some level people recognize there is virtually no fiscal policy space left. We have a strong economy and running WW2 deficits. So this is it. Fed is only lever to pull. They really want to prevent a crisis in the first place.

stabbinCapn

Everyone knows the BS they put fwd as an excuse to act like pirates, but everyone also knows it's "moral superiority" to justify greed. Just like with slavery, yanking native American children from their parents & placing into white homes to fuck the kids & bury them outside the school house, or ~ 225 years of native American genocide (the actual worst atrocity on humanity - NOT WW2), etc. etc... are you not a strong reader?? How can you not know that??

giraloco

The regime is destroying the alliances and international order we've built since WW2. Anything can happen.

mitch-22-12

WW1 likely (but not for certain) would have still happened even without Ferdinand’s death, there was a lot of tension he just lit the match which could have been lit at another point. Also, Zionism was already a thing at the time and migration was happening to Palestine, so not sure if that would have been avoided either.

FullTard2000

If a rich Austrian named Franz didn’t get shot on a Serbian sidewalk in 1914 you and everyone you know wouldn’t exist. We would all be butterfly effected out of existence. There wouldn’t have been a WW1, WW2 and countless other conflicts including the ones still happening today like israel Palestine. Also you are more likely to win the lottery every day you are alive than getting the chance to be alive. Your father will produce around 2 trillion sperm cells in his lifetime and only you and your siblings will make it to life. Think of your family tree and the math for every one of your grandfathers, then think about evolution and the fact we all evolved from single cell organisms. The odds of you breathing right now are insanely astronomical. You are experiencing life as human, the least probable most lucky thing we know of in existence, it’s hard some days but try to appreciate it.

WW3

InterestingFLows

The thing is, it’s not that serious. I guess time will tell, but the US is not becoming a dictatorship anytime soon. Yes it’s far from perfect, but there are plenty of positives. At least we are seeing diplomatic relations with Russia resuming, while the previous admin did not even try in two years of the most dangerous war since WW2. Not everything is black and white, and the left seems to forget about that. Try to read ‘deadly identities’ by Amin Maalouf, it’s eerily relevant even 30 years later.

overrateTHAT

You're kind of retarded if you don't understand that WW3 started long ago. Russia has been so busy trying to take Ukraine & Iran (+ its proxies) have been busy trying to destroy Israel that they let Assad get overthrown by a bunch of rebels. If that's not proof that we're in the middle of a world war between the Russian-Iranian axis of power & the American-European-NATO-Israeli axis of power, I don't know what is. NATO haven't been looped into the madness yet, but the world is definitely at war.

NoteFuture7522

>It goes up. War or no war, US GDP generally went up. I don't think has anything to do with war, except WW2, which is very much an outlier. US GDP went up during and after WW2 cause there was massive government investment (in many things military and non-military) immediately after a depression. * WW1: GDP was flat * Vietnam: It went up until it went down * Korean war: It coincided with biggest post war boom in history mostly because the rest of the industrialized world was rubble. * Gulf war 1: It went down * Gulf war 2: It went up then it went down Modern wars do not create value. The resources and land that were the very valuable spoils of ancient wars are 1. not where value is created in the modern world and 2. extremely difficult to gain and hold in modern wars. Russia/Ukraine underscores that very well. As for china, you're moving the goalposts. You cite tailwinds for america. I point out other fast growing economies also have similar tailwinds. Oh that's different you say.

NoteFuture7522

The romans had multiple civil wars and succession crisis throughout the years and kept growing. There is no way to say that this particular setback is the end. Same with the civil war, WW2, the great depression. And the collapse of hegemony is not the same as collapse of an economy, as people in England, France, and Spain will happily tell. The only actual metric you cite is Debt-to-GDP. The fact is that developed countries have high Debt-to-GDP. China's Debt-to-GDP is 96%, America's is 122%. Is China about to collapse too? The Renmimbi certainly isn't a reserve currency nor are they particularly gung ho about open borders.

TechnicalReserve1967

https://www.ghil.ac.uk/fileadmin/redaktion/dokumente/annual_lectures/AL_1979_Saul.pdf?utm_source=perplexity Germany's rapid development before WW1 is a prime example. The fall of the British Empire's dominance, at least partially (there were a lot of other issues of course) was because of a failure of protecting their own industries. Again, because the sub just down votes everything they think is showing Trump in a positive light. I think his implementation of this is 'inelegant' at best or beyond retarded at worst (with just retarded being a nice median), but the basic idea is not by default wrong. Tariffs can be good for a lot of things, but they are supposed to be used in a bit more organized, less broader, and well thought out way. What we see here, I think, is someone (Trump and his circle) failing into a circle jerk and thinking that they are way more effective and simpler to use than they really are.

fearofbadname

Agreed. Act was a great recognition of the importance of semis, but hard to just legislate competitive advantage. It’s not like we legislated the industrial capacity that helped the US into and coming out of WW2 - it was a byproduct of the Industrial Revolution that was able to be guided towards national necessity.

RealHornblower

Republicans have never cut spending, spending grew 75% in 4 years in Trump's first term. Since WW2, spending has risen much faster under Republicans than Democrats.

Bulky_Sheepherder_14

The stock is at 315. Going to $500 in 3 years means 37% in 3 years. Just put your money in spy and you’ll probably fare better if WW3 doesnt happen (it will probably still go up even if it does happen)

Ogrebreath

Prior to 1949 it was named the Department of War. Prior to WW2 was one of America's most isolationist periods. So historically the name Department of War hasn't necessarily correlated with what you're implying.

anamethatsnottaken

When you do something stupid, you're angry and it feels bad. Here you see your stupidity in someone else, so the anger comes out. Also the post appears to have a certain lack of self awareness that makes you want to slap the guy: "Decided to use 50k to sell far OTM, high prob. spreads" - high probability, as in low chance of loss. On a trade you plan to repeat every week, where max loss is ~70x the credit. It sounds like a plan to lose money. Trades where max loss wipes your account should be 'if WW3 starts I'm wiped' and not 'if GOOG gaps up 10% I'm wiped'
