SPDR S&P 500 ETF Stock Discussion

Talented Mr Ripley : bulls will give up to bears

CaptainBoi Talented Mr Ripley : Yeah, when they realize this is going to be permanent policy. His policies are going to completely destroy the lower and middle class.

CaptainBoi : Get ready for a rocky ride. Trump warned you to get out while you still can. Main thing you should worry about is the Trade War. Everything depends on Trump’s response. Doesn’t seem like  he is going tongive in until his entire country collapases. Everything in the US comes from China. Imports from China affects 4%+ of GDP, and that’s being conservative. it can be as much as 10+% if you account for overall economy impact. Trade with China pays the port workers, retailers, transportation and warehouse as well as manufacturing believe or not.

ASteffie : He said buy. I don't think he meant buy and sell the same day. Long haul should be alright.

102807487 : Thanks for sharing, and hope you are right ! i think you recently call for leap year

Crimson 777 OP 102807487 : yw, OTM leaps are pretty much as cheap as they will likely be. Some are as low as 6$ per contract, if it slowly starts to move up. There was quite a bit of call volume that came in last week for May/ June calls right about when it had recaptured the previous all-time high in 2020. If you pick the right leaps, you have a year roughly for the price to touch the previous all-time high of 613$ which will potentially net you a x10. (not advice, just speculating). Personally, im just loading up as many as possible every time it dips, goal is 500 contracts and im at 300 curently.

102807487 Crimson 777 OP : Thanks for sharing Crimson. i am in call too, looking forward to slowly add on for a further period as shared

ひな☆彡 くまちゃん : Technicals never lie. I am happy to see how this progresses, I have almost exact chart setups, and I can say the pullback is very common. the issue is can we get out of this bear market when? maybe towards the end of  this year

Tonyco : Many really want it to be bullish, especially retail... which is a concern for me. Retail always gets the shit... and they buying like crazy... The market feels like one more "Trump Surprise" could blow it up either way

Ultratech OP : need to just wait until futures open we left off like this   I do suspect opening high because the 3 day weekend should cool off vix

The Muscle : guy been in office 4 months and has 4 years!!! patience because yhis time next year what would yall say?????

CaptainBoi OP The Muscle : Check back in a year. Why does the stock market go up when he does exceptions on tariffs. It’s because people are happy that Trump is failing and maybe back off this idea in the first place. The Average americans people do not have patience. It’s not just about you paying 10-15 dollars more for toys when it used normally cost 5 per item. We don’t even know the scale in which we depend in China. This is like setting a ticking time bomb on our supply chain. He’s going to nuke it just like how it was during Covid when supply chains completely shut down or reduced capacity. Supply chains don’t magically apear overnight. If you try to build here you’re going to be slapped with lawsuits. Esepcially regarding working conditon and enviromental protection law suits. Dude do you really want to breath in toxic air and have children working in factories again? Things are going to be a alot more expensive while other companies are not going to raise wages. Why are all these manufacturering jobs in red states? It’s because they can pay them 6-10 dollars per hour. While ports and logisitics pay up to $20-30 an hour. People are are bitching about how thry can’t get jobs are lazy as hell, and there are million sof jobs available and they still keep whining. We habe an abundance if blue collar jobs, but guess what no one wants to do them. Otherwise we would have a over supply of eletricians and plumbers. They pay $40-50 an hour. If you can’t see this then I don’t know what to tell you. Other countries also rely on China to get materials. If the US produce here, we effectively killed our export market because other countries will not be buying as much can as they did from us because Trump caused a global recession. It sounds great in theory but this is not realistic. We can kick start mining for natual resources, we are already doing that, but for massive production to the scale of China. No. not possible. without polluting this beautiful country. Drinking toxic water. Do you really trust companies to not cut edges and poisoi our drinking water? They’ll sacrifice lifes if it keans they can squeeze in a couple extra pennies. Could we get it natural from out allies instead of our adversaries, Yes. But guess what we did, we slapped Tariffs on our allies too. This guy is making stuff up day by day. If you  see this as 4D chess, then I think you’re dreaming. Canada is meeting with other G7 countries to see how they can shut the up by Leveraging bonds to cook him. That’s why he’s stopped talking sbout liberating and making Canda the 51st state. Because you got an actual economist running the country.
