      I believe that would be MarketAxess (MKTX) which largely deals in bonds AFAIK. Given that bonds are the traditional safe haven asset when traders see the market shitting the bed, them doing well isn’t necessarily the best sign for overall market health…

    Maybe this is it?

    Like I bought into my current house mortgage at $500k. Now I’ve seen a few houses down the road finish building… Mid city in Kenmore WA, for 2.4million. Okay great! I can barely afford my place, how can anyone dream of getting into a 2.4 million dollar house if they’re not the CEO of something or another? My neighborhood has a mechanic, a teacher, a juice maker, a nurse. Like that’s the people here and they don’t have 2.4million. Their kid’s kid’s might one day buy a school book for 2.4 million and look at how cheap houses were today. But not us, now.

    So is this it? Does the market caput and the government just pays off all our loans in a big reset moment? Then everyone starts selling their house back to reasonable money like 200k or 300k?

      You misspelled “then giant companies buy up all the housing on the cheap and everyone continues to be miserable”

    In the last century 63 years had 10% crashes. This image shows that literally nothing is happening.

        Did you know that Google shows you historical stocks and shares data when doing a related search?

        If googling is too hard for you, then you can watch a video here https://youtu.be/3PxqwZcTpc0 It references each and every source.

          your video is about the FTSE global all cap index which isn’t very helpful for a conversation about the US economy?

          Did you know that Google shows you historical stocks and shares data when doing a related search?

          yeah, google showed me you were wrong as fuck so i wanted to give you a chance to demonstrate otherwise

                  clueless

                  there is no such thing as a ‘general stock market’, are you 12? the video is about a specific global index fund and could not be less relevant to an image of american stocks being blood red. aside from covid, the last time we had a drop this bad was the 80s. i was willing to believe you were just dumb or misinformed but you clearly don’t have an ounce of good faith in you.

              Every stock market is different.
              China markets have a 90 minute lunch mid day. South Korea prohibits short selling (Thailand now too). Taiwan charges 30 bps for overnight positions.
              The nasdaq will become 24 hours soon .

              There’s no such thing as a general market. They’re very diverse.

    So it sort of opened to a +3% roughly this morning. Is that just a dead cat bounce as people try and catch the falling knife?

    To be fair: companies should not focus on maximizing their stock value or work for some investors. They should focus on delivering the best product for the best price. For quite some time, especially in the US, the product of the most companis were just their shares. The best one just made the most money for it’s investors. Trump finally fixes that. Also he really does some for the small people: Stocks are not a way to got rich, but a way to stay riwh - if the stock market outperforms the economic growth rich people get even more rich, poor people get more poor! Only rich people have money to spare to invest
