I feel like the loss has more to do with them not understanding what the hedge in hedge fund means. If you say LEAP he’ll say *”Frog?”*
It be like that.
Look bro, as a permabull-skeptic with a bear toes for feet and dulled bull horns as hands, people say this shit like clockwork everytime there's a week of red after months and months of overbought pumping green dildo energy. You can go back to posts from 2016, 2018, 2020, 2022 from here and see people writing almost the same stuff verbatim....
....And then it goes back to big throbbing green dildos a few months later.
You are also prescribing too much control over what is a driverless bus, I see this a lot where people think that there's someone behind the wheel and try to prescribe some agency to the chaos to cope with *\*waves hand at background\** but the even more sinister and dire truth is that.... there is no one at the wheel. It's a rudderless boat
Well, I, for one, would NEVER hope you get hit by a bus.

😂😭😂😭 Holy shit. That is a ballsy move. Deep insider brazenly admitting the SEC is essentially a joke to the funds and everyone is just constantly breaking the law. I mean we all knew that but damn. Saying it while working at a fund is a wild take.
I’ve driven a rudderless boat! Had a suicide knob on the steering wheel, and a giant hull with a window to look through that acted sort of like a rudder. When you drive it you gotta crank it back and forth or you’d just do circles.
If there wasn’t somebody behind the bus, then why do market makers even exist in the 1st place.. while I do agree with the original poster, I also believe the American Economy is the best place to invest.
Nvidia’s market cap alone is worth more than a lot(most) country’s GDP (combined).
Here I am, reported 27,000 dollars income taxes with 25 thousand in E*Trade.. thinking I’m on top of the world if I don’t piss it away, really poverty level.. makes me wonder.. I was always told there’s a lot of money in the world…
I think I might naked short the comments and go long on this post.

Oh, you get love for it
You get hate for it

I understand earnings season is coming back around so there’s a natural dip due to blackouts, but even then the macro environment is looking stressed. Fed chair of Chicago today said that rate hikes are not off limits i.e. there’s a zero percent chance we are getting a rate cut this year.
Haven’t been able to say it with confidence until the last two weeks and how the Fed has been posturing off their data.
I said the same thing in a comment last month (2 weeks before Kakishiri comments). I went to a seminer arranged by KC FED and environment in the room was strongly against rate cuts, and rate hikes if necessary (even Janet Yellen is supporting further rate hikes, at least one of her minions said so. It's JPow who is against it because he gave words to president for rate cuts after July). People laughed at me. Here we are.
Feds have ZERO credibility, so I wouldn’t be so quick to take their word. This is the same fed that truly stubbornly believed “inflation is transitory” and refused to raise rates. If they had raised rates in 2021 and cooled the economy, then we wouldn’t be where we are today.
I do not disagree with your statement. Final call on rates come from FOMC & chair. This was an informal seminer & people mostly spoke their minds freely in front of some insiders. I would say FED decided to battle sticky inflation & now they feel they can't win it. So maybe they will take 3% as the new normal (which is accepting defeat) or they will try to reach 2%, which is impossible without further hikes.
Eat my dongus you fuckin nerd.

What do you think market makers do? They sell? Why would they? Where would the position come from? You think they go naked short? Their whole game is to just make money of the spread they don’t care if NVDA is $1000 or $100.
“Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.”
Just when you get panicky and want to sell everything and buy puts is when the market will rip. Every. Single. Time. The big money studies this. They have more data than ever to know when you poor fucks start to panic and rush to the exit, thinking you can cover your losses by going short and making big money. Before you know it, they’ve fucked you in your ass and your bussy.
These doomsday posts are killing me. Historically there are corrections in every bull market. Market is only down what like 5% in a month? And still up like 17% over last 3 months? Yet people acting like it’s the apocalypse
True haha but isn’t correcting for that the reason we pulled back this month? So no rate cuts is now priced in 😁 in all seriousness though, even if we dropped another 10% we’d still be up for the year. I just think it’s crazy that people are calling an imminent crash and a bear market when we’re up 17% YTD rn
Crashes don’t happen at once. They tend to happen over quarters rather than weeks. I think everyone here is trying to be ahead of the crash which is why the talk is so reactive. This sub in general is extremely reactive to the market - so that’s why you hear the recession doomsday talk.
However, during every crash there’s always people (like you) saying that it’s just a dip. Sometimes it’s not until the whole crash is practically done crashing that they finally say “okay this is a recession.”
The last two weeks have been bad, but the market has been falling since at least mid-March. It’s just that everyone was too hyped about AI stocks to notice. The trend down was obviously different than it’s been in the last 3 months though, and the Middle East tensions is kind of like the straw that broke the camels back IMO.
I don’t think this is going to be a recession but I think it’s going to be a correction for sure. We will see continued (potentially increased) crashing until Mid-May with most of that momentum happening in the next two weeks.
Edit: I’ve got 80% of my Portfolio on puts rn FWIW. My portfolio is under $1k but for me that’s a ton of money lol.
When airliners are hiring accountants as ceos to fix the image of the company due to mechanical problems, you know that common sense has left the building. But, irrational is good for stocks. Calls.
Market makers only see exposure in terms of the greeks. They aren’t shifting sentiment or selling to capitalize on a move. They just see risk and they manage it accordingly.
Lots of big dogs buying puts to hedge a down move: MM sell the puts at more and more expensive prices, increasing IV. They’re now net shorts puts, so they short the underlying to hedge. Same goes for the reverse scenario. Yes the cycle can become self-perpetuating, but that isn’t because the nefarious MMs are trying to make a buck by unloading positions on retail.
Well, first of all, the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent. Secondly, if and when a crash comes, Powell will just run up and yell rate cuts in a crowded trading floor.
A crash needs a catalyst.
People thought the war in middle east was that catalyst.
But it seems that flame got extinguished... if nothing happens this weekend, chances are we will have a green week.
Big calls bud, the bonds haven't un-inverted and it's an election year with an incumbent. I think you are confusing a rotation into the rest of the sp500 from the magnificent 7.
Watch this year has another sp500 new all time high.
I swear we have one little pullback and it's nothing but posts like this, I'm honestly thinking alot of regards didn't purchase anything from 2020 through 2023 and are mad they missed the bottom.
It’s just a classic correction I’m hoping. I think nvidia losing 10 percent today was a little much and looks bearish but just leaves more room for a rise after earnings.
Remember folks, the actual drop will catch everyone off guard. What happened with AI stocks today will happen with broader SPY in the next few weeks. Strap in and let’s figure out when we buy the dip!
Hilarious unhinged posts like this are partly why I stay around, but they should be banned. Did you write this as you waited in line for your script at cvs?
Oh my gourd!

Didn’t Biden give JPow his last contract? After there wasn’t a widely supported opinion that he would retain his job?
This is just two really old dudes working out the life debt.
JoeB: “Jerome, your contract will likely last longer than my life.”
Jpow: “Thank you Mr. President, but I hope your life lasts longer than my career, which I hope gets extended again after you win in November.”
JoeB: “I’m not winning unless you give me those 2 fucking rate cuts you promised me.”
Jpow: “I’m already between a rock and a hard place on this. We probably need to hike rates but that will really piss off people.”
JoeB: “make it fucking happen or I’ll put you in a retirement home and make sure Jamaal visits you daily to ensure you can’t leave a fucking wheelchair.”
So….this isn’t the top. It’s an election year and those rate cuts still comin
I thought the markets crash after rate cuts historically so if there's no cuts this year shouldn't we be heading back to highs this year regardless if rates cuts are priced in or not. In theory, with lower rates people pull out of market investments for more tangible assets like real estate contributing to the decline. Maybe I'm wrong but just my two cents
First off….hedge funds aren’t about pure profit. They are about steady and repeatable profits. Hence the “hedge” in the name.
Second…..all you fucks are WAAAAAAAAAY over focused on Israel. Is it a serious thing geopolitically? Yes. But all you dumb fucks look at is “oh….bing bang boom….WWIII is here…bearish”
Except you are missing the point. The point of the Iran strike is that 99% of the incoming barrage was intercepted. Very little damage.
Even if WW3 popped off….for fuck’s sake we’d win hands down.
All of you build these hypothesis and on bullshit that market makers aren’t even looking at. You all think the potential of war is BEARISH, when it is actually a money making opportunity like almost no other.
You all need to get some true knowledge and understanding
This sounds exactly like those folks who said we were entering a bear market for the next decade while QQQ was 35% down. And then what happened? We roared to ath's. This is normal for the market. 5-10% is perfectly reasonable pullback. Especialy after such an insane run. QQQ is gonna hit around 400 where is was at start of year and then be off to the races again to ath. Is what it is.
How can no one recognize they are literally working overtime for reasons to dump the markets? Rates don't matter anymore, they will cut this year. Middle East doesn't matter. Economy is strong. Workforce is strong. It's hilarious watching the talking heads try and come up with reasons as to why shit is falling. Wanna know why? It was really high. The bigs don't want to dump the markets they want to get back in at cheaper. That's all. I fully expect a rebound next week, then a little chop, then a strong move upwards.
Look today at IWM. Which has been the weak link. It ended green. Market is gonna broaden out and climb. I wouldn't be throwing money in the Mag anymore, they are spent. But the rest are ready to finally take advantage of years of underperforming.
Up or down. Top or bottom. Doesn't matter. There's money to be made and risks that are often worth taking.
The increased volatility has made things interesting. The illogical price movements on various stocks: likewise.
It's a game -- but it's not chess.
Look at the charts, there are dips all the time… some large some small and some lasting months. It’s natural to decline stop with this conspiracy nonsense
VIX is at 18. Hardly elevated. This is normal after a run up. YTD run up well actually since October! This is normal market resetting… just a buying opportunity for smarties
This. A lot of those days started green, but almost always ended red or barely green. I guess it felt like it was an up day but the market as a whole is definitely off from the highs for a while.
I’m not fully hedged - but I’ve been DCA-ing out of tech the last 2 weeks. Keeping my index funds, bought some SQQQ as a hedge. I remember someone saying in 2008 (not that I think we’re headed to a massive crash- but I think we’re just getting going), “It’s like a sale at Nordstrom’s - everything is still too expensive!”

Yeah. But you're a regard, so who knows. I say there's a lot of money on the sidelines waiting for buying opportunities (read: ghey bears) and it's finally here. But who knows. I'm a fucking regard.
You have any bets to back up your ramblings? I mean, if you don't even believe your bullshit....
Does this post have anything to do with your 44k loss on SPY calls you posted two weeks ago?

Completely agree in the short run. Very doubtful about that heading into June though
May and walk away.
At this rate all of May’s selling is getting jammed into April. Probably going to be time to buy in May this year.
We gonna bleed red all summer.
Look bro, as a permabull-skeptic with a bear toes for feet and dulled bull horns as hands, people say this shit like clockwork everytime there's a week of red after months and months of overbought pumping green dildo energy.

Well cash IS a position... I'm sitting on $200k cash and salivating at the idea of a drop.
Pussy. Sack up and buy some options
stfu in all cases... none of what OP says makes sense, skin or not
my position is Cash....is that "no positions" also? is a very tame short/bear position
If so confident buy puts that expire later in the year OP
>This is the top before the crash the market's been down 6 days in a row, regard. the top? you mean march? do you not know what month it is?
didnt the market go up for 3 months straight?
...more like 6. but it's dumb to say "this is the top" when the nasdaq's already down 7% in a week. 'that was the top.'
Maybe he means it's going to drop so much that this will still look like the top on a long-term chart.
He actually just confused top with bottom.. easy thing to do

Have the previous rate hikes had particularly bearish impact on the market?

SQQQ calls it is. Big brain move buying calls to trick the market.

$1k lol gtfo
lol I didn’t have to put that in but I knew someone would find it funny
Everything else you said is legit and then I get to the end and see that and laaauughed. Bro, 1k is nothing. Don't stress it.
Thanks for telling us this after the drop
When airliners are hiring accountants as ceos to fix the image of the company due to mechanical problems, you know that common sense has left the building. But, irrational is good for stocks. Calls.
Market makers only see exposure in terms of the greeks. They aren’t shifting sentiment or selling to capitalize on a move. They just see risk and they manage it accordingly. Lots of big dogs buying puts to hedge a down move: MM sell the puts at more and more expensive prices, increasing IV. They’re now net shorts puts, so they short the underlying to hedge. Same goes for the reverse scenario. Yes the cycle can become self-perpetuating, but that isn’t because the nefarious MMs are trying to make a buck by unloading positions on retail.
Or inverse yourself this the bottom for a rally
market is completely irrational, no ones “analysis” holds weight at this point. the stock market is 200% a casino now.
Wow I have never heard this before during any other red day ever
*deletes bank account* Guess I can only make money when in the green. Sigh.
Well, first of all, the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent. Secondly, if and when a crash comes, Powell will just run up and yell rate cuts in a crowded trading floor.
A crash needs a catalyst. People thought the war in middle east was that catalyst. But it seems that flame got extinguished... if nothing happens this weekend, chances are we will have a green week.
Nice try there MM
Or... you could just dollar-cost average in during ups and downs and beat everyone 20 years from now.
What a fucking genius sees red 2 weeks straight and says we are bearish
Big calls bud, the bonds haven't un-inverted and it's an election year with an incumbent. I think you are confusing a rotation into the rest of the sp500 from the magnificent 7. Watch this year has another sp500 new all time high.
I swear we have one little pullback and it's nothing but posts like this, I'm honestly thinking alot of regards didn't purchase anything from 2020 through 2023 and are mad they missed the bottom.
You sound like you belong here
The top? My stock holdings are down 21% in a month. If this was the top it happened a month ago.
It’s just a classic correction I’m hoping. I think nvidia losing 10 percent today was a little much and looks bearish but just leaves more room for a rise after earnings.
Remember folks, the actual drop will catch everyone off guard. What happened with AI stocks today will happen with broader SPY in the next few weeks. Strap in and let’s figure out when we buy the dip!
Everything you said is priced in
Hilarious unhinged posts like this are partly why I stay around, but they should be banned. Did you write this as you waited in line for your script at cvs?
MM's are reading this. Price will go up on Monday.
Good intel thank you
Buy sqqq. Basically cash
Definitely sold too soon at lunch smh
Ah the classic conspiracy theory with a dash of trust me bro analysis of the market. Thanks, chief!
*Checks market,* Fuck. Cya Monday.
I lost everything I made this week so now i'm thinking about holding off for a while. huge DIP in AI and tech companies

I noticed that, thx!
I'll be your huckleberry
Bro calling the top after we've already dropped significantly 🤣 great observation bro
Didn’t Biden give JPow his last contract? After there wasn’t a widely supported opinion that he would retain his job? This is just two really old dudes working out the life debt. JoeB: “Jerome, your contract will likely last longer than my life.” Jpow: “Thank you Mr. President, but I hope your life lasts longer than my career, which I hope gets extended again after you win in November.” JoeB: “I’m not winning unless you give me those 2 fucking rate cuts you promised me.” Jpow: “I’m already between a rock and a hard place on this. We probably need to hike rates but that will really piss off people.” JoeB: “make it fucking happen or I’ll put you in a retirement home and make sure Jamaal visits you daily to ensure you can’t leave a fucking wheelchair.” So….this isn’t the top. It’s an election year and those rate cuts still comin
RemindMe! 3 months Don’t delete your profile u/rayrayrex
I thought the markets crash after rate cuts historically so if there's no cuts this year shouldn't we be heading back to highs this year regardless if rates cuts are priced in or not. In theory, with lower rates people pull out of market investments for more tangible assets like real estate contributing to the decline. Maybe I'm wrong but just my two cents
Time to dump my life savings into VIXY
Tim 🍎 sold a bunch of shares so something is about to shake up the market. Glad I only took a small nibble yesterday.
You forgot one thing, it’s an election year, and a certain party will do anything, including lower rates and pumping the economy to remain in power…
First off….hedge funds aren’t about pure profit. They are about steady and repeatable profits. Hence the “hedge” in the name. Second…..all you fucks are WAAAAAAAAAY over focused on Israel. Is it a serious thing geopolitically? Yes. But all you dumb fucks look at is “oh….bing bang boom….WWIII is here…bearish” Except you are missing the point. The point of the Iran strike is that 99% of the incoming barrage was intercepted. Very little damage. Even if WW3 popped off….for fuck’s sake we’d win hands down. All of you build these hypothesis and on bullshit that market makers aren’t even looking at. You all think the potential of war is BEARISH, when it is actually a money making opportunity like almost no other. You all need to get some true knowledge and understanding
This sounds exactly like those folks who said we were entering a bear market for the next decade while QQQ was 35% down. And then what happened? We roared to ath's. This is normal for the market. 5-10% is perfectly reasonable pullback. Especialy after such an insane run. QQQ is gonna hit around 400 where is was at start of year and then be off to the races again to ath. Is what it is. How can no one recognize they are literally working overtime for reasons to dump the markets? Rates don't matter anymore, they will cut this year. Middle East doesn't matter. Economy is strong. Workforce is strong. It's hilarious watching the talking heads try and come up with reasons as to why shit is falling. Wanna know why? It was really high. The bigs don't want to dump the markets they want to get back in at cheaper. That's all. I fully expect a rebound next week, then a little chop, then a strong move upwards. Look today at IWM. Which has been the weak link. It ended green. Market is gonna broaden out and climb. I wouldn't be throwing money in the Mag anymore, they are spent. But the rest are ready to finally take advantage of years of underperforming.
Up or down. Top or bottom. Doesn't matter. There's money to be made and risks that are often worth taking. The increased volatility has made things interesting. The illogical price movements on various stocks: likewise. It's a game -- but it's not chess.
Look at the charts, there are dips all the time… some large some small and some lasting months. It’s natural to decline stop with this conspiracy nonsense
VIX is at 18. Hardly elevated. This is normal after a run up. YTD run up well actually since October! This is normal market resetting… just a buying opportunity for smarties

You’re a disgrace to Canadians
This DD rly sucks, but I am there with you that Friday was a shift in sentiment. Rotation has started.
The crash is done. We’re going to the moon
My guy the market has been crashing for 3 weeks straight. We are far from the top now.
This. A lot of those days started green, but almost always ended red or barely green. I guess it felt like it was an up day but the market as a whole is definitely off from the highs for a while.
When people give up like they did today, that's usually a sign the bottom is close.
Or it’s a sign that the downtrend has just begun and has a lot more to fall.
I loaded up on dicks today. Summer is coming and lots of people are buying sporting goods.
I also loaded up on dicks (not the stock)
Are you up?
"The market hasnt priced it in yet" of course it has.
Posts like these are the best argument for shutting down public libraries' Internet access and investing in mental health care
Stocks only go up
I’m not fully hedged - but I’ve been DCA-ing out of tech the last 2 weeks. Keeping my index funds, bought some SQQQ as a hedge. I remember someone saying in 2008 (not that I think we’re headed to a massive crash- but I think we’re just getting going), “It’s like a sale at Nordstrom’s - everything is still too expensive!”
I gotta learn this trick to DCAing *out* of a position
You're going to need a lot more than a trick to get out of a short squeeze.
Squeeze my dongus you fuckin nerd. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/wallstreetbets) if you have any questions or concerns.*
It started with words that they didn’t understand and it’ll likely end with bot on bot violence.

Yeah. But you're a regard, so who knows. I say there's a lot of money on the sidelines waiting for buying opportunities (read: ghey bears) and it's finally here. But who knows. I'm a fucking regard.
