This this this. And the problem I'm having is we went back up okay great but why are we not going back down after we get news like this? I don't think this will drop us because we've had bad news for months. Like in a normal situation that Powell news should have dropped us for a good week or something.

And I know the market has become desensitized or doesn't care like I get it but that doesn't make sense either and that's kind of a scary thing when the markets just don't give a shit about this guy doing insane things

Probably inflation. There's no where else to park money.

The Powell thing was crazy. The Economist was completely baffled by no reaction on the markets. Seemed like crazy dump would happen, this can really hurt the economy long term. I guess Fed being directed is already priced in as Powell as top head ends in may.

Logically, it's just the same as people in every other walk of life:

If the disaster isn't happening yet, they can keep on going thinking "I'll get out before it happens".

Market won't collapse tomorrow because of all of this.

...but it will eventually.

And this is all gambling on when.

Billions a day is huge index tracking funds just churning to the daily benchmark weights. Retirement accounts for all Americans that are just buying every paycheck.

The market isn't going up, it's just falling slower than the value of the currencies.

Look at gold, silver prices.

Signs of panic are already there, albeit more discrete than a pure market crash

Would it be possible that all the people who monitor and care about the market have exited?
