I didnt have much to begin with only lost about 12k, I have nothing anyway. My mother lost roughly 100k in her retirement fund from all this crashing. My grandmother even more. How much have you lost in Trump’s Tantrum Tariffs game?

    once the little people sell their assets for pennies, they will just buy it at a bargain and reverse the shitty decisions that made it crash.

    just legalized robbery-with-extra-steps.

        not everyone has good financial education, and not everyone can afford to lose so much money when they are currently living off it.

          Yep. Poverty sucks. If you can’t afford a portfolio you won’t be affected, though.

          Vulnerable people giving away money without googling it first is a thing that happens, but that’s not exactly a conspiracy either.

            thats sometimes peoples life savings. not that this makes me specially sad, but isn’t a lot of retirement schemes in the US tied to the stock market?

      I hope no one sells, if anything they should buy more. Assuming, and that’s a big word here, they can afford to.

        the fact its crashing so hard means quite a bunch of money was already pulled out.

          Appreciated, I was more referring to the ordinary folk that wouldn’t have that level of influence. But I suppose that that’s passed.
