2025 Stock Market Thread

seems to be what everybody is saying margin calls tomorrow and no stoping the free fall unless somebody steps in

Went to town today, figured we better go ahead and replace a couple computers before they go up 300 bizzilion percent as the fake media is reporting. The computer that runs my CNC machine was on its last legs after 15 years, I guess I got my money out of it. Angie's battery has been crap for three years on her Macbook, so we should be good for a while. Both BestBuy and Costco where busy as hell. Missoula Best Buy must be where all the freaks hang out.

Here is what I thought might be worth sharing. Our trip to Scheels. That place was packed and the shoe section was standing room only. Rather than raising prices, they had sales. Angie got an extra pair of her favorite hiking boots for $90.00. I finally sprung for the Italian made Crispi boots I have been wanting that where normally $500 for $310.

Tariffs have not hit main street yet, but people are shopping to get in front of it. Maybe this is all to just a play to get people spending. LOL


A TV the size of a Garage door was only $1600 at Cosco. I thought about buying two and making a billboard truck.

Scheels in Fargo was packed son just picked up some hunting gear

 

[Orange Juice]

What about Ammo? Are we going to have trouble finding Ammunition?

 

[2Driver]

How many times after being in crisis mode do you now look back and say, I could have made a shit ton of money during that panic.

 

[hallett21]

Futures slowly coming up.

Asian markets are on fire lol. Down 10%

I am also wondering if companies are trying to reduce inventory as they are worried that they will have to sit on inventory if things really get bad.

How many knee jerk reactions were there during the start of covid that now look insanely ridiculous.

All we need is a solid catalyst (like Trump), and a few ducks to line up. It's like shooting fish in a barrel.

My wife and I were just talking yesterday about how glad we are that we haven’t borrowed on margin, as we can see calls happening.

 

[hallett21]

And futures headed down again

 

[Orange Juice]

It’s continuing to melt.

[PaPaG]

Still buying.
I am loving some of these prices..

 

[DILLIGAF]

Ride em cowboy! haha

This is some crazy times we are living in peeps.

Be careful and protect but don't panic.

The goats I got yesterday may soon become a food source

 

[DILLIGAF]

Cant wait to see the boomerang effect.....Its going to be bigly . One thing I am 100% sure of is the people that panic sold on the way down are going to be pissed. Woulda coulda shoulda type stuff.

Countries are now trying to settle up......lets see how fast this gets handled

 

[hawgty55]

This thread is only for the inmates that dont finance toys.

I dont have nearly enough money in the stock market after cashing out my 401k donations after leaving corporate America.

 

[coolchange]

Dammit I don’t want more Sofi

 

[DILLIGAF]

The Euro group now wants to meet up to discuss zeroing out all tariffs.....lol

 

[hawgty55]

And were crushing chinas market. So who needs who?

 

[PaPaG]

50 countries want to talk, patience is where money is made. (I have absolutely no patience in projects I do but had learned long long ago to learn to have some when in the market and it works).

 

[PaPaG]

And just like that market regained 1900 pts in a few minutes.

 

[DRYHEAT]

I sure hope nobody hurt themselves in the snap turnaround.

 

[CLdrinker]

I was just starting to buy

 

[FlyByWire]

I had to turn my alerts for my long positions off. Lol Jesus.

 

[CLdrinker]

Nibbled way too small on VUG at 318!!! Fuck me

 

[DRYHEAT]

I had to turn my alerts for my long positions off. Lol Jesus.

I burnt my morning bacon, looking at alerts that kept going off

 

[Xring01]

Damn… Market was red, then a few things bounced.PLTR was down $66 range,,, bounced to $81, now at $74…

Wow… NVDA went from very red to green… and back to red.

It appears the buyers are coming back, do they have more $$$ than the sellers have shares.??? Thats the question.

Edited… the bleeding appears to be diminishing in my trading accounts.

 

[Outdrive1]

It’s volatile today. Up, down. Back and fourth.

 

[hallett21]

There was a rumor that Trump was going to pause Tariffs for 90 days. WH said rumor not true. The FED has a meeting in 1 hour.

This week should be wild.

 

[PaPaG]

I hope we do not have a rumored 90 day pause on Tariffs, that just kicks the can down the road, take the pain, and when the time is right all these countries will bow down as they are slowly doing right now AND IT WILL BOOM!

I spent 5k this morning. I’m doing my small part.

 

[zhandfull]

Still adding to FNMA. Even before the downturn in stocks it was having decent swings. Probably be a good day trading stock. I’m just buying small quantities over time. Anticipating that the company may be released from conservatorship in the future. Definitely a bit of a gamble.

 

[CLdrinker]

If this 90 day pause is BS the market is gonna take another dive. I’m keeping the rest of my money ready.

PLTR at high 40’s
Apple at 160 (maybe) huge tariff exposure
Nvidia in the low 80’s
VUG anything under 320 is a gift

 

[hawgty55]

Trump aint letting up. They cant manipulate him with BS news headlines.
Probably playing golf laughing with john daly and DeChambeau. While all these countries are freaking out.

And why should he it’s working exactly how he said. Market corrections, countries wanting to negotiate, feds talking about lowering rates whats the bad in that?

You think pltr will go 40s? Seems pretty resilient.

 

[CLdrinker]

Probably not. But after 5yr owning the stock I know it can swing huge in any direction. With this amount of volatility I won’t buy any large amounts until that number.
I love my PLTR but VUG is damn near a sure $100 per share profit at this level if you can afford to hold. I would rather put my capital there.

Trump said they panicked and they screwed up doing that

I’ll check out the vug. Looking to put my wife in something.

 

[shintoooo]

Wow what a great trading day

 

[CLdrinker]

Trump tweeted that China better withdraw that 35% tariff by tomorrow or on the 9th we hit back with 50%

Who flinches first?

Mexico is caving, so are a few others. China will follow soon...

 

[Orange Juice]

How the hell are we going to grow the work force, when everything in the baby aisle is made in China. Wait until you see the cost of a baby stroller.
