Maybe.

JP Morgan factoring in a 60% chance of a recession in the US. Who cares people say except whatever happens over there in that shitshow affects us directly.

Having said that, bargains to be had out there but when to get in?

Well for example, hypothetically if you knew that trump was going to slug a certain region - let’s say Vietnam with 46%, look to business that do trade there, Nike 50% production, short sell on it and you could make millions overnight, they’d all be running something like this. They got away with it during covid.

I’m no Stockmarket wizz (more a Stockmarket moron) but common sense says Apple and all this stocks have to return to high value but how fucking long a few months or years? During covid when I got lucky on afterpay it was a common sense thing to invest in. Now? Alcohol 😂

I bought up more Westpac and Bendigo a couple of weeks ago following a couple of big drops across a few days thinking it's a good time to get in. Now here we are and they've both gone down 5 or 6% since then.

They'll come back, like you said, just a matter of when.

Wish CBA would lose 30%.

At $95 I thought they were too exxy, now the bloody thing is sitting at $150.

There's a bloke in the US that tracks all share markets trades the reps and senators make in real time because they have to disclose it. He wrote a script that follows their trades as they happen which his page updates in real time. The amount of dodginess from these people is off the charts. They buy up some tiny stock and he's like 'why that stock' and then he digs around and finds out they're on a committee about to award a contract or pass a law or some other guff.

This lad:




It's nuts how in the US they can do that.

Mind you Dutton did it here. No doubt he's not the only one.

Dutton with multiple trades the day before the bank bailout in Australia.

'Nothing to see here' apparently.

As if the super rich aren't going to make a killing of this. I think they're pulling their money out a profiting from very early investments and now they can chuck loads back in and watch it grow.

It'll be interesting to see when someone makes a move and things turn green.

The falls and records broken, all self made, are staggering however.

If the general person has some cash and can rebalance, there are opportunities too. If only if sold some of the profits around 6 months ago (which I'd been intending to do).

Got one block chain etc ETF. Came in at 6, went to 13 in 5 or so months. Back down to 5 now. It's a volatile one but surely Block chain has a big future.

I have diverse investments. The USA should rebound and you wonder how much they'll take in from these tariffs to the spend elsewhere but I think the fact that other countries are going to be partnering up shows some world diversification would be very smart.

EU buckling already

The EU are being so caught short because they've done jack shit for more than a decade. Germany's economy and industry has been decimated. The resistance to change here is so strong that it's near impossible to imagine things being done differently. Basically the 50+ cohort of workers in cushy jobs are riding the overregulation wave by being 1 of 12 middlemen in the hope no one asks the hard questions until their retirement age.
 
Tech ETFs up 1% today. Massive dip but someone's teeing up to make some handy money.
