Is the stock market going to tank?

Isreali company just ordered 10 lng powered container ships from China. Deal worth 2.3 billion. Dollars. So much for our allies teaming up.

CLuke. Your order would have to be in the 100s of Millions to attract attention.

If it is that big then deploy via a prime broker so you can disperse it among other order flow

I think it's worth considering that Luke was talking about something like DCA on an order that is large for him, not saying he expects to move the market.

Next plunge down should really goose vol. I wouldn’t short any until then.

**civilcoconut** · 04-09-2025, 11:46 AM

Tarrifs down to 10% except China (now 125%) for 90 days.

Yes exactly. Thanks for helping that along.
Do people have a pattern on dumping an expensive position in a session? Think VIX related in my case

Dumpy with market manipulation at its finest.

Someone should come up with catchy name for teaming up on trade. I don't know, maybe something catchy like 'Trump-Pacific Partnership' or TPP for short

**Ted Striker** · 04-09-2025, 02:06 PM

GREAT TIME TO BUY -> Surprise tariff lift three hours later.

Wonder what the right would've said if Obama did that?

Wonder how much jail time a normal person would get...

I am the great Cornholio!!

**summit** · 04-09-2025, 02:28 PM

Well its like we get one more chance to sell?

**Kevo** · 04-09-2025, 02:57 PM

SPY trading like a penny stock.

I stayed invested and haven't sold stock in years, but WTF. What a fucking clown show.

**The SnowShow** · 04-09-2025, 02:57 PM

The top 1% (which I think control half the market?) just got way more rich. Fuck this shit.

**406** · 04-09-2025, 03:01 PM

"'Trump-Pacific Partnership' or TPP for short"Ha!

**Cono Este** · 04-09-2025, 03:29 PM

Question

Did any of these political queens, coming in here, with their bullshit, make anyone sell? Or stop anyone from buying?

In other words, cost you money?

This thread should be sacred, because fucking up someone’s money, should be left to poly ass.

**MultiVerse** · 04-09-2025, 04:23 PM

lol @ "make anyone sell? Or stop anyone from buying?" Jesus, cono, you’re like a women looking at a menu like they've never seen or heard of food before

**jackstraw** · 04-09-2025, 04:30 PM

Take your "sacred" bible thumping shit to your right wing forums and GTFO Conorade

**The Nuclear Option** · 04-09-2025, 04:30 PM

Crazy whacko shit. Now investors think that it’s all AOK b/c of a pause on some if it.

Frankly that reaction is more concerning to me than even the tariff nonsense. There is too much slosh in this market all around.

Stupid fucks think that it’s all resolved?

If this forum worked I expect we'd have discussed the spike/crash from Monday when CNBC reported the pause prematurely. NVDA options got very strange for a while. Seems like between that and today there's ample cash on the sidelines--or was?

**Cono Este** · 04-09-2025, 08:39 PM

Trade the mkt, not the bullshit. It could all change again tomorrow.

I scooped it all, should sit on it now. But if we get another 1000 pts, and if vol comes in, I’ll scalp my stock and buy vix again.

Really good week for me.

**MultiVerse** · 04-09-2025, 08:44 PM

So capricious tariff policy by an unchecked leader is triggering massive moves in the market and some people are upset about discussing said policy? That's some real "what color is the sky on your planet" energy. This discussion is relevant and in the spirit of the thread:

During times like this the more schizophrenic the information the better. Bring on the AI doomers, the traders, the MAGA commies (which, yes, is now a real phenomena), the Wall Street elites, the MAHA moms, your crazy in-laws, let's hear it! Crazy times means we need data from the craziest sources
