TB Fanatic
I predict a 20% haircut concerning the Dow from now to Oct. 19th of 2026. Presently Dow is Down 600 and change...only a pittance. With rising oil prices...and a war in Iran...know this.
.IT BEGINS

Oh...by the way..
PM' S are making a move.

This is...by the way is..my opinion.

Note1: never take advice from some guy on the internet. Do your own DD ...and then make your own decisions.
 

Point of ‘honor’ among central bankers that they have to warn the rabble about what is shortly to come.


They did that just before the 2007/2008 debacle as well.

Jamie Dimon says markets underestimate risks and he wouldn’t buy stocks or Treasurys at current prices​

  • JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said investors are underestimating geopolitical and fiscal risks that could eventually rattle markets.
  • Dimon said he wouldn’t be a buyer of either equities or long-dated U.S. Treasurys at current prices.
  • “I do think those risks are probably bigger than other people think,” Dimon said, pointing to wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, tensions between the U.S. and China, and rising military spending in a time of mounting government deficits.
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said investors are underestimating the risks facing the global economy and that he wouldn’t buy either equities or long-dated U.S. Treasurys at their current prices.

In an hourlong interview with Wilfred Frost released late Monday, Dimon said markets aren’t fully accounting for a growing list of geopolitical and fiscal threats.




“I do think those risks are probably bigger than other people think,” Dimon said, pointing to wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, tensions between the U.S. and China, and rising military spending in a time of mounting government deficits.

Asked whether markets are underpricing the chance of a major shock, Dimon said it’s difficult to know exactly what risks are already reflected in asset prices.

“It’s possible something’s baked in, but what’s not baked in is what actually happens,” he said.

Dimon, who leads the world’s largest bank by market cap, often warns the public about the economic risks he sees.

Kathy we are headed for a severe recession/depression by the time the midterms arrive IMHO.
TOO many problems both here and abroad.

I'll believe it when I see it. Yes, we are due a major correction. However, there is still too much money floating around. People by and large, aren't going to stick it in the Bank of Sealy and forget about it. There are too many retirement accounts where employers are mandated by employment contacts to match funds. There are so many wealthy people with lots of cash assets even if they are overloaded with debt.

Then add in that today's trading companies use algorithms, not emotions.

Until the money shrinks I don't foresee any crash happening. As many things that are going on in the world saying the market should crash, there is too much money in the world holding the system up.

Instead of people panicking they need to make money while they can. Eventually the merry-go-round stops, but not today nor tomorrow. By the end of October? Doom is always a few weeks away.
 
As for your statement on PMs. Not reflected in the GLD shares.

the DOW is down -1% as I type this... It's got a long way to go, to even make it into the top 20 daily drops, as a percentage:

You sound like Luke Skywalker.
Just to clarify:

When Rey (the girl with the Force ability) came to see Luke Skywalker, the hero of the rebellion, she made a statement, and Luke said: Everything you just said was wrong.

Then later in a confrontation with Kylo Ren, son of Hans Solo, and now a bad guy, Luke says the same thing: Everything you just said is wrong.

So @summerthyme saying everything in the OP was false, just sounded like Luke.

Summer Skywalker has a nice ring to it
 
With rising oil prices...and a war in Iran...know this.
It's NOT going to be oil or Iran, that kicks the market in the ass, it's going to be the A.I. trade and investment, that will melt it down:

"Closing Time" On The AI Bubble Is Sooner Than Most Think; Ed Dowd Warns​

The Iran/US war is not the only headwind Dowd sees.

AI (artificial intelligence) investment is in bubble territory according to Dowd, and the lights are about to go out on that trade. Dowd says:

The stock market is 45% AI and AI adjacent.
When the equity market figures out the party may be slowing or it’s over, that will affect the stock market.

It’s a feedback loop that I think is beginning. Let’s call it the AI summer of discontent...
Closing time is closer than most people think. The party has been going on for a while.

We had this huge impulse in semiconductor stocks in April and May. The indices have 17% to 19% of the S&P 500, the semiconductor index.

That is a warning sign in and of itself. This is a notoriously cyclical boom and bust industry... There is inflation going on in this... AI build.

All the projections of return on investment are going the way of the dodo bird because they are now paying exorbitant prices for commodity memory chips. Also, power costs are going up, and they have to build power plants. The whole math does not work with the AI infrastructure in the credit driven AI complex.

So, the math kind of implodes on itself at some point...

I think the party is closer to the end than the beginning, and closing time will be upon us soon.”

When the AI bubble pops, Dowd expect a “nasty pullback in the stock market.”

This is why Dowd is telling investors to raise cash levels just like famed investor Warren Buffett is doing by holding record amounts of cash in his fund. Dowd says, “Cash is dry powder.”

And for those who think the US dollar is going to tank, Dowd thinks just the opposite and says, “The dollar looks quite bullish.”

You can tell everyone something should be so, that doesn't mean that it will be so.

As for your PM pricing, most people do not hold physical, they hold paper ... like everything else. Less than 10% of the people in this country hold physical PMs. Much less that percentage hold a significant amount of PMs.
 
Dude, it's days like these that you make your money. Sometimes BIG moves.

It's been a great day IMO

Now that the markets are closed, I'm going to eat and have a celebratory smoke.

P.S. I'm probably going to grab some SPCX to hold for a while. Just waiting to see what open looks like tomorrow.
