Trapped by all these falling knives, and an impending recession, clearly the bears have complete control of the market now. At this point, whatever hell I go through in the office, I can't even quit anymore. I'm trapped in a shitty work environment and my money is trapped in all these so called mag 7 stocks, until a miracle happens and the stock market recovers. I can't sell, I got no cash to dca down. This fucking sucks, and it sucking fucks.

There is a glimmer of hope though, following the reverse Cramer thesis, he just said it's time to abandon ship on the mag 7, which means it's time to load up. But then if I start buying, then it'll definitely crash. There's just no winning here *sigh* FML.

Greenland prime minister say no to Trump, after his unrespectful behavior with Ukrainians, saying: we can t trust Trump. At least, he said what the world think.

So you see, Tiny 12 & Elvis 2008, my TIP to you guys is, to pretend like you're a pregnant women in a red state(...kkkk!), in need of an abortion and high-tail-it outta town, when states like California, ban on sales of new ICE vehicles, eventually come into effect.

Yet another myth about buying/owning EVs debunked!

Are you proud of this post?

Yeah, women may bleed a little bit during pregnancy. You can check for heart tones after 5 weeks and do an ultrasound to see if the fetus is in the uterus as it should be. If there is massive bleeding, that usually means the woman is further along in her pregnancy and the fetus is already dead. There would not be heart sounds and the fetus may not be in the uterus. If the miscarriage is not complete, the uterus is scraped much like it is with an abortion to get rid of the fetal tissue that is causing the bleeding. To not do this would be medical malpractice in both red and blue states.

The difference between red and blue states has to do with ELECTIVE abortions not when women are bleeding to death.

I hear you bragging about how you do not respond to me. Let me guess. You are not going to respond to this one.

You see what I mean when I say how fucking arrogant you are. We take care of our women in the blue states! No, you all get played by your women in the blue states. Did one of them come up with this idiotic pregnancy scenario or did you think this up all by yourself?

As of now, EVs are massively inferior to ICE or hybrid vehicles for long trips, and government subsidies were not going to change that.

Since you guys, put so much effort into those manufacturing mandates, let me say, believe IT or NOT, your well intentioned efforts, haven't been lost on me! Those mandates, you quoted, that are reportedly suppose to STOP consumers, from buying new ICE vehicles,...really don't!

How's that you ask? Well allow me to debunk, yet another EV mandate myth, and explain it, in a way, you QAnon\Repub\MAGA cultists, I think well understand:

Okay...I'll need you guys, to pretend for a second, that...you're a pregnant women. (Work with me, now...you'll see were this is going!)

1. More precisely, a pregnant women in a red state, with an abortion ban.

- (ie. This represents an ICE vehicle owner (in a clean-air mandated blue state), who has perhaps neglected car maintenance, or about to have engine failure, or the car just gets hobbled in a crash or nearly destroyed in freak storm...etc)

2. So you're pregnant (in red state) and disaster strikes, pregnancy complications ensue and you're and bleeding out and laying on the hospital/clinic bathroom floor (but no way near dead for them to attend to you), or worse held up in a gas service station bathroom. What do you do?

- (ie. Your ICE vehicle has just conked-out, or oil-n-gas spewing all over the highway, or worse you've crashed and is FUBAR'd, near dead, or barely drivable. So naturally being MAGA, this means a new manly he-man ICE vehicle. So what do you do?)

3. So now what do you do, since there's an abortion ban in your ruby red state?...Well, according to ex-Gov Kari Lake (AZ), just pick-up your bleeding-out pregnant ass and "eh, just go out of state...and you can go three (3) hours that way", to California.

- (ie. Regardless of what condition your ICE vehicle is in, fit to drive (or NOT), leaking out oil/gas (or NOT), take your ass and/or your ICE vehicle, outta state).

4. Be it, 500 or 1000 miles, take your pregnant ass and fly, drive, bus, walk or crawl to the nearest state, with abortion access to healthcare and have that abortion.

- (ie. In order to buy your new ICE vehicle, just fly, drive, bus, hitch-a-ride, walk or crawl for hours and hundreds of miles until you find a nice friendly ICE red state with anti-clean air laws, that will sell you, a new ICE vehicle. Eh Voila!)

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST (my fav):

5. If your pregnant ass, makes it back alive to your red state, we'll fine you a $10K bounty (as someone no doubt, will snitch on you), prosecute you to the full extent of the law and throw your ass in jail.

- (ie. Having made it back, as the proud owner of new ICE vehicle, no $10K bounty snitch awaits you, no prosecutorial justice awaits you and no jail time. Just scowls of disapproval and "eco-shaming from the libs!")

But I'm sure, many of you QAnon\MAGA\Repubs conservative types, would rather be dragged over hot coals, than face the scowls of disapproval from the libs, for buying/driving a new ICE vehicle and ignoring the state's cleaner automotive emission standards and their ambitious Clean Air Act mandate, RIGHT!

So you see, Tiny 12 and Elvis 2008, my TIP to you guys is, when the time comes and you do indeed, need a new ICE vehicle, is to pretend like you're a pregnant women, in need of abortion, due to complications, in a red state and high-tail-it outta town (...kkkk!), when states like California's ban on sales of new ICE vehicles, eventually come into effect.

Yet another myth busted and debunked, about buying and owning EVs!

Yeah, I really feel like going out and buying a Tesla. Too bad I don't like EV's.

Instead, I bought a few shares of QQQ around 10:30 am today. Just a little bit to get my toes wet. Funny thing, I as I was making final risk calculations the price was kind of free falling. The 1st live quote I saw was 470.3. Then as I placed my order the stock broke 470 and my open order was filled at 469.63. Like I said, I just placed a small bet to get a feel for things. The 52-week low is 413.07, so there is plenty of room at the bottom to fall further. "The Harder They Come, the Harder They Fall. " And then rise again.

Like most your posts, there was the idiotic name calling of racism and the typical dick measuring contest that resides in all your posts. If you did not have your butt buddy and fellow racist victim Gabacho going down on a moderator, chances are you would be banned by now.

And after all the bullshit, you admit you know nothing about bonds. So basically the last two posts are what I would expect from a narcissist, pleas for attention. Well, you are not going to get it from me.

I just admitted I gave bad advice to the poster who asked for it, and I corrected it. As far as not convincing me of anything, you are right. Maybe try posting on facts and showing knowledge versus patting yourself on the back, and I will listen.

As for crypto, I have been reading about that for decades and bought a little myself. It is an alternative to the dollar as a store of value, and I apologized to you when you said it was an alternative to the dollar versus what I thought you were doing which was hawking it as an investment be.

Ut people think that means it goes the opposite way of the dollar. The diversification myth was throtled by Peter Lynch who called it deworsification. As the government starts pulling money out of the system, everything will go down including bitcoin. Look at the prices in the last few crashes. What goes up when the overall market goes down? You do not have real diversification until you invest in whatever that is.

Be calm and do not do something stupid like selling the bottom.

We are nowhere near the bottom. This is the 1st half of the 1st inning. The two things causing the market to rise were government massively expanding the amount of cash in the system and AI. I saw what Trump and Musk were doing. When Musk repeated the things I saw about the debt and deficit, I was excited because he knew what the problem was. What shocked me is he was actually willing to take the bullets to fix it, and Trump has totally bought in.

The next question I had was, "Does Trump get that what he is doing is going to crash the market?" And I got my answer.

He responded to this on Sunday, https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/10/trum...ck-market.html Asked whether he thinks a recession is imminent, Trump said, "I hate to predict things like that. " he later added, "Look, we're going to have disruption, but we're OK with that. " and this "What I have to do is build a strong country," he said. "You can't really watch the stock market. ".

Deepseek has blown up the models with regards to future earnings with AI. And the government is saying we are okay with the stock market going down. So I cannot even come up with a bull case right now.

If you are a real Democrat and care about the poor and middle class, this is not a bad thing. Housing has been ridiculously overpriced in the USA. With the piercing of the asset bubble, interest rates will come down as will housing prices, and some of those millenials will actually be able to afford a home!

But yeah, the Democratic douche will latch onto the falling stock market as a symptom of Trump incompetence. Truth is the market was a Biden blown bubble of epic proportions.

Big fall, boycott and burned for Tesla, because of Musk behavior, kind of Trump hidden son. Way for people to protest about both not respectful behavior. Higher inflation, but not big improvement for USA economics, when USA cars brands asked Trump for no tax for Mexico and Canada, when they need these countries and Trump knows nothing about reality of business, only knowing to bullshit about everything.

Well, I guess this is it. My whole brokerage account is so deep in the red now, there's no point even looking at it anymore until or unless there's some kind of calm coming back to the markets. I guess we're going into a recession now. Hell, even Apple, MSFT, Google, and AMZN are down. So much for the invincibility of the Mag 7. I don't know gents, I'm thinking of just closing out all my positions at a substantial loss and just sit on the cash.

How do you even catch a falling knife when it keeps falling? There's no way to know if this is the bottom. Granted, it's not a loss until you sell, but it's looking really bad these days. Odds are pretty good that NVDA's going to go all the way down back to 70 bucks. 70 bucks! Satan wept. I got no money left to dca my way down anyway. There's almost no good thing about this, am I really trapped in my job now because the stock market just destroyed my account? Thanks life, why don't you kill me already?

Those of you lucky enough to have a 401 k, you should still be doing ok. Me? No such luck. Even my own IRA is down *sigh*

I ain't got no luck fellas. I just ain't got no luck. Not in life, not in love and sure as shit, not in the stock market either. FML.

Thailand never seemed so far away, how am I ever gonna get back there now? The money I'm about to lose by closing out my positions, that cash coulda funded trips to Thailand for me. Instead I 'invested' in the stock market like an idiot. Woulda been better if I just stashed that money under my bed. Jeez. Christ on a stick.

Not being satisfied to simply put me on ignore and continue about your business after I give a intellectual BEAT DOWN of epic proportions, You felt the need to strike back yet again in a effort to continue your flame war with me throughout ISG.
