AA我爱投资 : How long do you think the VIX spike will last if recession fears kick in harder?

JTTC19 : Recession fears? We are already at the start of the recession/bear market. This is no longer a correction like most ppl still want to believe.

Tonyco JTTC19 : Agree. From here, we will get the increasing # of layoffs as corpo protects margins. This, combined with the risky loans promoted by lower bank regulations and AI approving loans, will nail the coffin on regional banks, and they will start failing.
We're potentially looking at severe price increases, which obviously will hurt Trump voters the most. Maybe Trump will try to deflect blame onto "reciprocal" tariffs to pretend it's not his fault, or blame democrats if it takes more than 2 years.

104348186 : It is noteworthy that Japan and South Korea, which are traditional reciprocal countries, have higher tariffs than Malaysia, which is quite amusing. Singapore will definitely have a lot of products going through and being laundered in the future, at just 10%. Chinese companies may likely build factories in Malaysia in the future, then export to Singapore, and finally export to the USA under the label of "Made in Singapore." Are Malaysia and Singapore ready for this sudden wealth? The reason is simple: first, the Logistics costs are much lower compared to those countries with 10% tariffs, plus the labor costs and land costs, and Malaysia doesn't even have a time difference... Chinese business owners, time to act!

LP7777 : time is approaching the opportunity of a lifetime. be excited to buy solid companies on sale.  i say -  let the market continue to fall.
