The last time we saw a big red candle on Friday was Aug 1st (after that super weak jobs report and revisions). The following Monday actually opened and closed substantially green.

    Back then, I was surprised at the move – but everyone here said, ‘duh, the bad news was already priced in on Friday.’

    Curious what you all think about this time around. How do you see Monday playing out?

    Last time Friday (1st Aug) tanked, Monday bounced. What about this time?

      At least that time it had a good reason to tank. This time (again), it’s a tweet. Who knows what other tweets he has in store to post right before market opens on monday?

      Last time tariffs were used a a threat, it crated a situation lasting several weeks of uncertainty, crashing the market from February to April.

      What makes you think it will not be the same?

    3. All I know is that the next time the market has a bad day if you put a gun to my head and said go browse /r/stocks you’re gonna have to pull the trigger. 

    4. The market may open higher first thing but wait for the follow through. By 10: 30 you will have a firm indication of which way the markets will go. Watch the 1 PM hour. (EST) that’s when the traders come back from lunch and decide what to really do

      After every bounce, there is less of a chance it will bounce again until it corrects. Still a chance, but less of one.

    6. Depends if his insider trading group have all covered their shorts and bought their call options and long positions yet. Could literally be 30min before he puts out a tweet saying tariffs are delayed again.

    7. So the market is being manipulated and insiders are getting rich from it, and your idea is to do some swing trading and nicely timing the market while being an outsider?

      Just maybe if this becomes a real dip (10-20%) you could look at some great entry points if you believe that Trump will fix what he is breaking.

    8. Can’t even imagine what this sub would look like if an actual prolonged bear market occurred

    9. Using the reverse reddit method…

      a whole lot of regards are going to panic sell at open, smart money’s going to drink your milkshake, and the market will finish at ATHs.

    10. It always seems like the market dips right before our scheduled 401K stock purchase. I think “Great, I’ll get in at a low price” but then the stock price bounces back up just in time for the purchase and the 401K ends up buying high. Happens every time for me. So to answer your question it will bounce back before the 15th.

    11. Who cares about all this stuff for heavens sake. Long term investors couldn’t give a hoot what happens.

      Last time Thursday (31st Jul) tanked, Friday it tanked further. What about this time?
