Small-Scale Question Sunday for May 4, 2025

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

I think it’s a terrible idea. But if you’re going to do it you should have a very specific number at which you acknowledge you were right and buy back in for cheaper (or else you’ll watch the recovery while waiting for more down movement until prices are above what you sold them for).

Then come up with a number at which you will admit you were wrong and buy back in (or else watch it run away and pray for a pullback that may never come.)

Personally I don’t think we’ll see S&P 500 below 5300 ever again. Wall Street really didn’t want it below 5500 and it took something massive like liberation day to break past it in the first place.

The temperature has gone way down on wall street since the pause, and we found Trump’s pain tolerance limit. And China cannot wait us out—our economy is just better.
