The way I understand it, people pull money out of the markets and put it elsewhere like bonds or something stable. This has happened in every market dip or crash so far.
This one doesn't have that, people are pulling money out of the market but where is all that cash going? And more importantly, do people actually thing this conflict will last? Oil futures for Oct is close to touching 85, wtf is even happening here?
Now I don't have the balls to short futures, but those prices look ridiculous. I buy stocks without margin and chill but my net loss is in the mid 5 figs and that's irritating af cuz I wanted to buy a car this year.
Tldr, 2 questions,
If money is pulled out of the market, where is it going? It's definitely not bonds or anything stable.
Do people actually believe this issue and its effects will be significant till the Oct future expires??
Where TF is money going??

cash gang waiting
Cash? Precious Metals? Defensive plays? No, I’m asking…
3.5% on Robinhood’s Cash Sweep is better than -20% in QQQ.
It goes in their bank account collecting interest. Or rather to MMFs as the interest there is higher.
In other words it stays as cash as everything is too unpredictable now.
Money market funds are currently at record high balances of 8 trillion dollars. Thats where its going. Sitting in SPAXX and the like

My guy, who do you think is running the headlines? Do you think theyre just running stories and the market randomly reacts? Theyre running cover so they can pump and dump the market while you flail around like a paranoid schizophrenic with a gambling problem
I think right now the market is leveraging down.
Energy and industrials
OP, you realize the US dollar is strengthening right? it could be my tinfoil hat but people are selling off and parking the money in US treasuries until the Iran crap is over.
Im sitting in cash ready to buy the dip because Taco madman mode is activated.
Who is dumb enough to get into a Strait of Hormuz quagmire with a country that big?
A fool and a deranged lunatic.
Drill baby drill.
