How can a lefty exploit this to their advantage? Is it too soon to try? DOW down about 1000 points since Thursday.

Why don't u buy some stocks.. See how capitalism works instead of complaining about it….
AND IT KEEPS ON TUMBLRINT DOWN!
sounds like capitalism alright
Nothing wrong with that when anyone can become bourgeois for under 100 USD.
Oh look someone else who doesn't know what bourgeois means.
...
Read a book lmao
Cool, so now I get $7 per year, offset by the 3% average inflation, so I'm looking at an effective profit of $4 per year. Well shit, I'm gonna start picking out what color I want my Maserati.
Hmmmmm…… Looks like your class interests wouldn't change just based off of your relationship to the MoP…….. Interesting..
Yeah sure, if we consider having a 0.000000001% share in Apple as making you bourgeois then you're right. Which is why stocks are a game for the rich to get richer.
...
At best it would make you petit-bourgeois.
wow, 100 USD what a great relation to the MoP
t. doesn't read books
...
How low does it need to go to provoke a depression?
For fun I calculated this and one share of Apple, which costs 160 dollars, is equal to 0.0000000191797217% of the company.
So we could say that a worker with $160 could effectively buy a high-valued stock and make some money off it - but wait! You'll need a minimum amount of money to open a trading account at any brokerage, a suggested amount would be $1000 for a discount firm. Let's say we found one that would accept our $160 though. So if we want to actually buy a position, we need to submit that order, but uh oh, we'll be charged fees to make the transaction. Fees are usually charged flatly, irrespective of the actual value of the trade, with a low amount being $10. So to invest our $160 we would actually need $170, and we've lost money before we even start. Now we'll need to hold the stock for two years to make a profit, to simplify things lets say our stock grows in value at the average of 7%. So, if we hold for two years, our stock will have grown in value to $182 which is more than we paid for it. To cash out, we'll need to pay more fees, so our stock is now worth $172 which is almost exactly what we paid for it, but hold on now, we have to subtract interest to get the actual value of our investment back, so minus 3% for the first year and minus 3% for the second year, our return is now worth 161.83. But hey, at least we don't have to worry about taxes since we didn't make a profit right? Truly the stock market is open to anyone regardless of their wealth.
You know, if I didn't know better I would say this game is rigged.
Why…. do you keep….. typing….. like… that…
Because he's probably twelve.
If he's 12, then he needs to be in school, instead of shitting up the board.
If you can't afford $1200 that's your own fault. Move somewhere cheaper.. Learn a marketable skill…
How exactly do you enter a stock exchange with $100? Aren't there minimum entry fees in the tens of thousands?
Well now I know for sure you're underage, because if you had been in the real world you'd know just how ungodly expensive even "cheap" rent can be even for people with marketable skills.
I've shared an efficiency with roommates, and there are efficiencies near me for under $700, a 30 minute drive from a major city. The problem with leftists is ur to lazy to try….
Peterson is a hack. Neck yourself.
Okay, I'll humor you. What city?
And furthermore, what job did you have? Did you have assistance paying rent at any point from family?
Also, it's spelled "too."
Not sharing my location or other personal details, but sub-$1k rents for 1BR apartments aren't unheard of in at least one or two cities that aren't shitholes. Millennials want to live in NY or CA. It's no wonder they can't afford rent with their liberal arts degrees. If I were going to spend my parents money, I'd do something nicer than sharing an efficiency.
t. anus
Motherfucker, I've got an information systems degree.
"sub-1k" can still be ungodly expensive if you're just starting out, even if you have a marketable skill and a good degree in a technical field. And that's not even taking into account gas, food, etc.
also
(snicker)
Nigger I was born here
People move to cities because that's where the jobs are. It has nothing to do with muh millennials you old faggot.
Also, I have to ask, what generation are you?
You realize that real wages today buy far less than they used to, yes?
Never doubt that Holla Forumscucks' admiration for "Western Civilization" is anything but sincere.
I guess there's plenty of space since your brain doesn't take up much room
Who let you on the internet, grandpa?
stock market crashes generally take 300x longer than crypto market crashes, so we'll probably know in 6 months if it's actually crashing vs. today
NOPE, a lot more proles are in the stock market than in the 20th century. There's no minimum that I know of. You are thinking of hedge funds.
There's a minimum to open a trading account, and if you try to trade low amounts you will just lose money as I demonstrated
No there's not. THere was no minimum for opening my Vanguard account that I remember. THere probably isn't for robinhood either. It depends on the broker, Interactive Trades DOES have a minimum for example.
you absolute autists, stop being tech analysts. The dow isn't crashing, its doing a 1-2% correction.
It's already down 3.7% in 5 days. But yea it's tbd whether we are going to crash or not
There certainly are and there are minimums for buying into mutual funds
Vanguard isn't what you'd consider stocks though nor is it a trading account
It's probably not, the real crash will either be end of this year or next year. At most we'll get a flash crash like in '15
You can buy almost any individual stocks or ETFs at Vanguard (with fees). If you don't like fees, there's Robinhood.
Literally the most Marxist thing you can be other than a labor organizer or revolutionary.
tbhq vanguard is pretty alright, almost all their trading is done via ai and their much more reliable than other investment banks.
what's the minimum for opening a Vanguard or Robinhood account? I don't know of any
EVERY
FUCKING
TIME
It costs money to move, and unless you have accreditation it doesn't matter what you learn because employers want PROOF that you've learned a marketable skill. That also costs money.
...
It was 26,616 on the 26th Jan. Shedding 1,5k in a week isn't good.
Porky will not let this happen… right?
This is some high-quality bait.
I dunno, does this look familiar?
...
I'm unironically hoping for it, I want this hateful world to go down in flames.
I want it to go down now, the tension is killing me.
wat de fug
I'd wait for 2 or 3 weeks before saying anything for sure though.
hopefully it's crashing for real but I won't get my hopes up
IT JUST SHED ANOTHER 300 POINTS
I WANT TO CUM INSIDE SUCY
hopefully somebody will get this
STOP IT
THE DIALECTIC IS ACCELERATING TOO FAST
ITS OUT OF CONTROL
It's now at -1137.55
Make that -1332.57
-1484.31
...
OH SHIT, THE AUTOCRASH IS COMING
How long do you think until domestic terrorism and civil war start to sweep, I give it a month
NO IT IS TOO SOON
At least I can say I was there when all went down.
You should start believing in posadist fantasies, user, you are in one.
I can't believe in Posadism until the sky flares up tbh, I'm not ready, I'm still in my Maoist long march phase.
Now it bounced back to -881.67
What the shit, some short-seller got their money's worth.
Two months ago I predicted we would have a crash within 18 months. Hardly anyone was listening. Now, after a week straight of sliding markets maybe some people will begin to look at what I've been saying. The market is not backed by anything solid anymore. It's running on pure speculation and the big players know this. I don't believe we've entered the real crash yet but considering how fragile everything really is all it takes is for the big players to exit their positions and it comes falling down. So this could be the beginning of the end. A cynical person might believe that Trump's tax cuts were actually a engineered by the financial elites to allow them to close their positions before crashing everything. My best bet is that we enter a short period of "consolidation" in which prices go up and down for a bit before finally crashing in the near future. Based on treasury yield curves and interest rates, we still have a bit longer to wait. But again, considering how the markets have only been expanding due to speculation, the big crash could easily come at any time now.

OH SHIT, THE AUTOCRASH IS COMING
oh thank god i was worried it was going to conveniently crash when the u.s. elects their next president
2008-10 2
So is Trump going to become the next Hoover? Or is this going to become full Tsar Nicholas II!
oh boy
I hope this is a proper happening
...
crisis are not to be celebrated, nothing good comes out of finding joy in the misery that is going to affect the workers and poor more than anyone else
put your own hurt ego to the side over people rejecting our ideas and learn how to agitate in favor of the cause
TUMBLING DOWN
Oh cool a Bernie version of the Ron Paul meme AND an anarchist version. Neat
2008 Holla Forums made good memes, what can I say.
Fucking hell I just realized how I was able to see the birth and death of Holla Forums…I feel kinda emotional…and depressed…(not for Holla Forums obviously but Jesus)
It took two World Wars to get rid of the monarchies. It will take no less than two to get rid of liberal democracies.
Meaningful change requires destruction, and people's core beliefs cannot be shaken without trauma.
What if those two world wars just turn everything succdem
For as long as the capitalists control everything, there will be world wars.
It's not good for the economy but it's not even big enough to be obvious, once it reaches that point then you can celebrate but until then you're literally just Holla Forums everytime a terrorist attack happens and they say "RACE WAR WHEN?!?!?!"
yeah it dipped similar amounts after the election. im not convinced
The market lost and regained 500 points in 20 minutes, and currently losing them again.
the revolution was ripening before and it was successful in the soviet union because Lenin was consisently proven to not only be right but to have fought for the interests of the workers the entire time
nobody will change their mind and follow you because you toot your horn and proclaim "i told you so!" after the fact,
without daily work in preoperation of the crisis a trauma will only strengthen the reactionary forces further
1914 for germany still lead to its 1933
im waiting for the big pop user
Yes, that's called the general economy, until it reaches the point of very clearly being THAT bad then it's no different from the status quo at all, there's a fine line that needs to be broken before you can ever so much as think you're near there, until then it's pointless.
Yeah well no shit, I'm sure Flumph caused a permanent spike in the economy.
The pop is called a pop because much like a pop it comes quick, and it can't be called a pop until it pops.
The reason the revolution succeeded is because the capitalists were busy fighting amongst themselves.
It really didn't: actually it surged at the election. That specific bum is the period 4th of Nov to 11th of Nov: the election was 8th nov.
so in your opinion it was the unity of capitalists in germany and the lack of it in the soviet union while Lenin did jack shit
ok, "tankie".
No socialist movement will succeed while the global capitalists are united and not distracted.
I'm gonna have to agree with the Stash here. Activism and education is going to be needed if 1917 is going to happen, you can't make something out of nothing after all.
...
actually what needs to happen is the creation of the correct social conditions which produce communist thought, namely horizontal worker to worker relationships where they live together ass opposed to the suburbs of the US where they are scattered to the wind and have to commute to get to their jobs, and most of their free time is spent with exclusively their family, rendering them like the French Peasantry of the mid 19th Century.
Ding, ding!
We're down 1,174.87 for the today.
Speak for yourself.
Ooooo that's gotta hurt
...
the biggest 1 day drop in history for DOW right?
CNBC said markets dropped for "no reason", no bad news or anything other than Fed rate increase
Somebody smart knows something, my god this IS 2008 all over again.
Right lads, required watching: The Big Short.
i just looked it up and 2008 crisis had drops of 6-7 percent while this was 5. EBIN
It is the largest drop in term of absolute points, although the largest in terms of % was ofc 1929.
Okay ngl I feel kinda sick in my stomach this is going to mean hell.
Everyone ready to see Deus Ex becoming reality?
is he right?
what would it be a false flag for lol. invading wall street?
A false flag for what? FUCK ME WHEN WILL THESE IDIOTS LEARN?!
Conspiracies aren't real.
well obvious they are commie jews that want to hurt Trumps image and economy
no?
If the economy crashes who will Trump blame. Never himself. Except when things go well, then it's entirely his doing.
I hope he calls out the D.S.A. and the IWW in public and starts a round of lynchings
TOUCHDOWN
AN ANSWERED PRAYER
What I'm more worried about are his retard supporters. I know one who literally a month before Trump fired him, was talking about BASED Bannon and then threw him under the bus daddy Trump wasn't agreeing with him.
Shut up
The entire market is nothing but speculation based on optimism. The smartest players have left on the 26th. Today we saw leaving of the slowest among the smartest. The panic selling and shorting en masse hasn't even started yet.
the FBI and Democrats
...
You know how Holla Forums was always saying that Alex Jones is controlled opposition back before Trump was a thing? They were right (but for the wrong reasons of course.)
I can't fucking wait
Wow the only vaguely leftist orgs in the United States. Unless you want the BASED TOTALLY NOT A DEMOCRAT PUPPET CPUSA to take charge
But he and his constituency have control over every branch of government. And he's been saying he's "done more than any president previous for him"
There's no way to twist this if everything comes falling down into his second yeara
remember to empty your accounts and heighten the contradictions :^)

Same thing
They are subprime MK.II. TL;DR: after 2008 the automotive manufacturers shat out low interest high risk car loans to keep consumption up. Now all the same things that were going on with mortgages: securitisation, CDOs, heck even synthetic CDOs are going on here. The worst part is that this will directly impact one of the largest manufacturing sectors in the world. If someone clocks the game is up, we're fucked lad.

Pay off car loans, budget NOW and join an org. What country are you in, we have a list of acceptable ones.
I meant it more on how to avoid big losses in the crisis. Fortunately my family is debt free, so there's that, but my country is essentially a financial ticking bomb (Italy) which is less than ideal.
HERE WE GO BOYOS
So… memes aside, we're going to be alright, right?
IT'S FUCKED
I'd rather we be alleft hehe
another point of interest is to watch Spanish and Italian banks, if they get hurt so goes the EU
i enjoy the new meme of distorted, melting and brain-colored wojaks
it's a nice evolution
This is actually fucking scary.
Maybe it's just my runners high, but I'm actually kind of excited. Maybe this is really our chance to change our course towards total destruction
That and the Amerimutt meme are contenders for MOTY for 2017

man im scared
im not ready for revolution
SHUT UP DOLPHINHATER
ENJOY THE CHAOS
The big losses will come to those in debt. As for Italy: join PaP. The best thing to do is ORGANISE, be it in a party, in your community, heck even through your church. Create the soviets, get ready and tbh, I am not sure what arms laws are like in Italy but those too if you get what I am saying.
it is, for the moment
kinda
IT'S READY FOR YOU
oh, don't worry, there wont be a revolution
it'll be a reaction
DONALD TRUMP, JANUARY 7TH 2018
"The Stock Market has been creating tremendous benefits for our country in the form of not only Record Setting Stock Prices, but present and future Jobs, Jobs, Jobs. Seven TRILLION dollars of value created since our big election win!"
IM SAYING DONT LET THIS JUST BE A FLUKE AND LETS HAVE IT ACTUALLY BE HAPPENING
Well this iwll probably be overhyped, but still…
Here's the eternal conumdrum of the leftist… be happy of the failure of the current system or be fearful of the consequeces?
nice quote
this is why im scared. fascists are armed to the fucking teeth and looking for an excuse.
...
for now it is. The percent drop wasn't that great for a single day.
If it continues tomorrow or through the week, everyone will jump ship as fast as they can
yeah…
no
This better pull through or else we all look as retarded as Holla Forums was during US Election Day
not trying to disincourage you, mate but you're probably will just get shot by the military if you try to do that
i really wish i had anything backing me up to tell you not to be scared and prepare instead
but i feel like that comes too late and being scared is all left to do
this is a politics board on a spinoff of a chinese cartoon website, we already look retarded just by being here
worst case scenario is another 2008.
...
there'd be no need for fear if we had any real strength
i think the reaction will reflect everyones real assessment of our situation
well at least its poetic
ARE YOU READY KIDS
we'll share worms
and it's not a gay dick joke
both of these were a result of apparent technical errors in the system though.
This isn't the 60's and 70's anymore. The feds don't care, so long as you're not some creepy cult hoarding guns and child harems.
Trump deregulated what stopped the 2008 crisis in the first place last year
So
tfw you live in hell
...
aye aye captain
"Another 2008" means the threat of a complete collapse of the global economic system, and now without China to foot the planetary bill.

North Korea isn't stupid. A destroyed economy doesn't mean that the US nukes suddenly stop working. Far more likely scenario is that Trump attacks them or Iran (likely Iran given that they can't hit back) to distract his base from the economy.
happening faggotry will be the ultimate uniting force of all Holla Forumss
No it won't fuck you. We want entirely different things.
Honestly, can we have an amnesty for all leftists purged recently just so they can view the happening? This should reunite Leftypol and Leftpol.
But in all seriousness, I hope you lads are doing your reading. If this is the big one then we're going to have to be the ones to explain to people what's going on, because otherwise it'll be the Mainstream "Russians are behind 9/11" Media.
THE TAX CUT WILL PAY FOR ITSELF
b-but capitalism only goes bad when the government intervenes.
its what my ayn rand astro turf ideology taught me! the great depression happened because the government intervened in the affairs of companies too much! that's why we have crashes and that's why the economy sucks!!!
what you want and what you get are also entirely different things
that never would have happened
Not to mention the only happening threads I've ever seen on here are economic crises threads, North Korea threads, and based Corbyn's giant leap forward
I actually it would be best to just pool money and leave.
Our Left has only recently left square one and American Fascists (while retarded) managed to use SJWs as their "counter", so instead of them being as dead as us, they actually managed to outgrow us by having SJWs and Kaltural Marxism be their USSR.
Why does everything suck.
If it were up to me, yeah. I think this board split is pure COINTELPRO, but the BO does what he does.
Why do you want America to fail, Holla Forums? Are you some kind of pinko commie? #TuckFrump
If someone can give me some rundown texts that aren't Capital length I'll get right to it
Mate, we were the same 3 years ago: things can change and they can do so very quickly.

Tbh, get people to watch The Big Short: but replace mortgages with autoloans.

reminder that Lenin did not believe that a revolution would happen in his lifetime and that the Bolsheviks while a small faction managed to win over the fascists.
So good luck I guess, here in Europe things will not go much better.
Is this the power of reactionary theory?

Does anyone else think the fascism spook on here is a bit overblown? The right, despite all appearances, is disorganized and split as fuck, and get smaller and more split after each rally. America is not Weimar germany, and should a fascist state even arrive under Trump, the bourgeoisie clearly aren't smart enough to actually improve the conditions of the working class to maintain any credibility as Hitler and Mussolini were able to.
Bourgeois parliamentary politics are a dead end that lead only to frustration.
Fascism offers only the promise of obscene enjoyment and the illusion that things can go "back to how they were" or "back to how they should be."
It's only Communism that offers not only a different world, but a better world. Part of our responsibility as Communists is to let them know this, that there is a world beyond the wasteland of Capitalism, and that they can be the ones to help build it–that we can build it together.
I would expect the US to get less of a Hitler or Mussolini and more of a Pinochet if it happened, not that I'm saying it will.
It depends on what you mean by "fascism." If you're talking about the meme loving fucks on Holla Forums, yes, absolutely it's overblown.
But they really aren't the ones you should be worried about.
Oh boy this is both scary and exciting as someone from Philly.
Who then? Even petit-b rednecks who amass guns like they're candy seem to be an overblown threat, at least around most cities.
Hey man, I'm happy the Eagles won, despite the riots. Fuck the Pats
Riots?
Yeah this is our first Super Bowl win and with Philly being Philly…riots are happening from the victory
oh no no no those aren't riots. that's just boys being boys!
it's only riots when they're protesting police brutality
There were major riots after the superbowl
You're forgetting the debt ceiling, man. Burgers still have to raise it before this month is over.
We obviously should investigate Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, et al. but for the obvious massive fraud that sustains them and not for mu deep state gay frog conspiracy
The Eagles haven't won since 1960 or 1950 something and everyone in Philadelphia got a little excited.
my crystal ball tells me the dow hits bottom at 12000
This isn't the 20th century, and one of Holla Forums's blindspots I think is that they're expecting (maybe even desiring) a redress of what happened then–that there'll be fascism and reaction again like they've read about. I think the danger might be something altogether new, or at least sharply different from what we have been expecting. After the better part of a century of intense, relentless propaganda, I don't think fascism will be something most westerners would readily embrace.
But what have we seen instead? The veneration of the technologist and entrepreneur.
I don't think that I can accurately guess what form the reaction will take, only that Trump and the Alt-Right represent only an inept preamble.
When the Roman economy collapsed, it heralded a radical shift in European political, economic, military, and social organization. When the USSR fell, it meant starvation and drastic reorganization of society for countries like Cuba or North Korea.
If this is in fact the catastrophe that we've been told is building, then the most similar event is probably WW2, where just about every major industrial economy on the planet was flattened and resulted in the end of nearly 200 years of British domination of the global economy.
I'm really not sure what's going to happen, but I don't think that it'll be good.
so you mean like a parade? a riot is very different from a celebration.
Uh huh. And you call these sports riots despite the fact that they obviously have class character.
lol, yahoo finance is absolutely apoplectic.
In the long run that certainly looks possible, the most boring single liberal party led by clean-cut but "human" technocrats, etc. But how will that play out in the short term? I think a second Occupy movement is very likely. Unless they go full FDR, it's going to be hard to appease the increasingly powerful soft-socdems.

hehehehehe I know it's my liberal self that's going to enjoy the schadenfreude that the president is going to slip on to explain this, but god damn it if Trump can explain himself from "STOCK JOBS STOCK JOBS ALL MY DOING STOCK JOBS STOCK JOBS JOBS STOCK STOCK JOBS" to
"W-W-WAIT T-THIS ISN'T MY F-FAULT" when his party controls basically every branch of the government
This is going to be hilarious
Why didn't we listen???
hard times create strong men…
The white baby boomers never had "hard times", they had more opportunities to generate familial wealth than this generation ever had. "Strong men" my ass. As if it even means anything.
ALPHA WOLFF WAS RIGHT AGAIN
fascism doesn't have to be overtly collectivist and the "radical individualism" is too obvious of a farce, neocons don't believe in that shit
There are a lot of variables at play so it's difficult to prognosticate. Bernie Sanders is the most popular politician in America, and I think if shit were to fall out right this minute he'd be the one that, if not most, a very significant portion of the population would turn to for answers. No one trusts the government, they're going to hate the corporations that fucked them, and it's not like religion is in any shape to step in with a guiding hand.
If it's not a corporate answer that they turn to, I do worry what the military will do. They've been endlessly lionized, and Americans have been conditioned to worship them. For most people, they're the one "competent" branch of the government. In the movies, they're always the good guys, always willing to sacrifice FER FREEDOM, always have America's best interests at heart.
The thought of all those old piece of shit Cold Warriors with free reign over the government and a license to go after any of America's "enemies" is rather chilling imo.

volatility short fund got liquidated after hours
a ton of people just lost a lot of money
Tbf, no one is quite sure why this is happening; but TL;DR: loads of bad car loans, people can't pay them, large debt cucks the auto industry causing people to call in their loans. This is a chain reaction that fucks the economy.
Legitimately, I recommend the film "The Big Short", it deals with a load of complex financial concepts and makes them understandable.
oh no
MEIN GOTT
It's hard to tell exactly, but I think that corporate investors want to dump their toxic low-yield bonds and put their money into "safe" treasury bonds, and so they're selling off all of their shit to unload these high risk assets–in preparation for this exact sort of thing.
I'm sure it's much more complex than just that though.
and it getting liquidated reduces market liquidity, which this fund is supposed to provide during volatility, so things might be fun tomorrow
god damnit I'm not ready for this shit yet
Isn't this whole thing occurring because certain stocks were overvalued in 2017? Doesn't that mean after people are finished pulling their money out and stocks reach a reasonable low that speculators will just buy them up again to hold them?
What do we do? This will almost certainly turn into fascism.
no it won't

>turn into fascism
c'mon bro
good.
Fuck bitcoin
how about further into fascism
If it were only about the stocks, yeah, and if investors were reasonable, yeah, but unfortunately there are problems much deeper than what the DOW represents, and investors as a whole are anything but reasonable. The falling stock prices are going to effect other stocks and other indexes too, which in turn will pull the rug out of some corporations, some banks, some governments, and if enough of this things tumble they'll take all the rest of the dominoes with them.
If this is the big one, then this is anything but a simple market correction. This is the culmination of ten years of dumping over a trillion dollars into the finance sector, practically free loans that companies have been using to inflate their stock prices year over year for a decade.
If 2008 was a monster, they've been gorging it all this time, and now it's absolutely cyclopean.
hate myself for not selling sooner
He's been predicting it for a while now, everyone has. I mean he might explain some of the mechanisms causing what is currently happening.

If the neoliberal revolution arose from the crisis of profitability in the 1970s, what would come from a similar crisis today? My guess is a technocratic realignment with UBI for the first world proletariat and low intensity war over energy resources everywhere else.
because most of them are having mental breakdowns from the bitcoin crash I suppose
Its worse that that. Capitalism has succeeded in shaping humanity to its profit, "revolution" is impossible. The working class is nothing more than an aspect of capital, unable to supersede its situation. any future revolutionary movement will have to consist of a struggle between humanity and capital itself, rather than between classes. Capital has become totalitarian in structure, leaving nowhere and no-one outside its domesticating influence.
Maybe someone from /biz/ took it from here?
BS, /biz/ doesn't read GMIL
WE'RE HEIGHTENING THE CONTRADICTIONS!!! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH

No, its definitely Camatte. Class corroboration has makes no attempt to end class at all, opting instead that such class division is necessary. Camatte still argued against capitalism and therefore the class structure, he just happened to think capitalism had become all encompassing.

Reading the tweets about the crash is like staring into the mind of a schizophrenic.
i call it class collaborationist because it effectively is, not because it itself would recognize this

Camatte was an anarcho primitivist.
so much i've read up but i remember some text by gorbachev that was very much along those lines, reading that made my skin crawl in disgust even worse than before
Be careful how you define class collaboration. Bourgeoisie class traitors working with proles to abolish the class system as a whole is not in of itself class collaboration, though it might become such when class is allowed to continue to exist under the guise that class antagonisms can be harmonized.
If you want you can think of "capital" as the law of value. What camette is saying is that the heart of capitalism isn't the bourgeois but the impersonal laws of the market.

that's objectively true, but not a value judgement of whether the circulation of commodities is a good thing or not. The enemy of marxists is production being confined to the commodity form itself, not how they circulate
...
Instead of going through someone who claims to understand Marx, just read it yourself.
If there are no commodities then there's no need for money to circulate them, so what exactly is he wrong about?

>The market started 2018 with a bang, but last week was the worst on Wall Street in two years. The selling gathered steam on Friday when the Dow plunged 666 points, or 2.5%, at the time its worst day since the Brexit mayhem of June 2016. Nearly $1 trillion of market value was erased from the S&P 500 last week.
There might be some areas, but a majority of the population is so sick of this shit of continuously getting fucked over by their boss that, this won't work anymore because it's just more of the same really.
You really underestimate that.
It will happen. It's only a matter of patience.
Let's see what happens tomorrow and to the Nikkei today. Beyond that we can speculate.

American workforce is thoroughly proletarianized. There simply aren't enough petit-bourgeoisie to carry out the actual work of fascist suppression. Historically, the bourgeoisie had to lean on the petit-bourgeoisie (and lumpens to a lesser extent) because they were too small and weak to enforce fascism themselves. Now that layer of society is drastically smaller.

This is true, but exhausted classcucks can change their minds quickly. Plus, 40% of the military supported Gary Johnson (at least before the actual election) in 2016 for his anti-intervention stance. It's mostly a matter of connecting the dots between "intervention" and capitalism for them.

A dip of 5% isn't really anything honestly. If anything this will eventually cause more growth as people will be buying assets.

Most already are. Sean Hannity has already.
Canada still has too much green on it. suspicious. What are you hiding you maple drinking bastards!
Can someone tell me the dip for 2008?
...
The dow lost 316 billion on its own, and every other major market on the planet is taking a shellacking too.
So what about many trillions of dollars lost "isn't really anything," exactly?
This is a warning. A herald. A prophecy of things to come.
DOW dropped in 2008 by 778 points, or at the time 7%. Currently it is down 1000 ish points, or currently 4.60%. We aren't even close to the percentage losses back in 2008.
The dow is much larger than it was back in 2008. Does that not make this 4.6% proportionally greater?
well yes, that's what he said
778 points then
about 1000 now
I'm a brainlet who doesn't know shit about the stock market. If you're not a stockholder what direct impact will the market crashing have on the average person? I imagine probably something to do with interest rates and debt and such, rising prices?
Depends on if the company that goes down you work for
Literally you and everyone else in this thread needs to watch the best movie in recent years,
THE BIG SHORT
Well you wont have to be jealous of anyones large pensions anymore.
If you had 1000 in stock right now and it was based around the average you would have lost 46 right about now. If you had 1000 in stock in 2008, you would have lost 70.
Still, any good investor (especially when young) knows you're supposed to buy when it's low that way you grow with the assets.
It's the worst market fall since 2008
Rising interest rates are likely. Bankruptcy is more likely than increasing debt burdens (unless we're counting government debt which is fucked already) and falling prices are likely to fall unless the government tries to inflate its way out of the crisis like the 70s.
...
Unless you're retiring tomorrow you don't have anything to worry about. If you're young, buy some stock or invest in a company. Get some say in what they do. Then as you get older that shit ages.

Call me in a week. If it's still dropping, that's when things start getting exciting.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, one economic collapse is all it will take for the house of cards to blow. The people are pissed and they know who to blame. A revolution will occur, we just have to make sure the right side wins.
Explain?
But if I have 1000 stock in 2008 that is worth $10 each, then I have $10,000 in stock, a 7% loss means I've lost $700.
But if I have 1000 stock in 2018, after a decade of stock value increases and are now worth $50 each, that means I have $50000 in stock, and a %4.6 loss means I've lost $2,300.
So doesn't that make a 4.6% loss today an even bigger problem than a 7% loss in 2008, because more money is being lost over all?
My burgerclap brain arteries are clogged with beef fat, please forgive me.
People bet on how stable the market was going to be in a manner of speaking
It was a "safe" bet to make a ton of money as long as the numbers were green
as long as people still get their cheap food, porn, entertainment, etc keeping them placated i dont think many people will have the fire to actually do something.
I thought I'd read that a bunch of Italian banks were teetering on the edge of bankruptcy before this happened, and their government forbidden from bailing them out. I wonder if we're going to see the Italian financial sector implode.
And how are they going to get those things without jobs? And after a decade of just about every government on the planet slashing benefits and eviscerating social safety nets?
The US market collapsing would lead to a global collapse. While we may not see something big in the US in the event of a legit depression, places like France and the UK would be very ripe. Don't forget how well the left did electorally in the last elections in those places.
If CS wobbles I wouldn't be surprised if Spain and Italy implode
Not to mention there are active Maoist insurgencies in India, SE Asia, and the Philippines.
True, didn't even take into consideration all the benefit cuts the GOP have planned. If people lost their food stamps and health care AND job and things were looking bleak, many might take action instead of "playing it safe" due to desperation. Of course things like the internet and TV, sports, etc are very powerful tools to keep the population distracted, and they won't go away.
Wait till the banks close and people can't buy food. The complacency of the west will vanish like smoke once there's food shortages.

I'm making the happening video as we speak
5% drop in a week is pretty bad though
yes correction to its true value, ___zero
I HURT MYSELF TODAY
Don't get hyped till it drops below 15k tbh
CRAAAAAAAAAWLING IN MY SKIIIIIIIIN
Very much so, in order to get out of the 2008 crisis the FED has maintained very low or even 0% interest rates to get things moving again. The downside to that is that most companies have used these lax policies concerning credit to go on debt binges, oftentimes corporate boards do nothing more than buy back their own stock using cheap credit. This is going to hit a lot of major companies hard on their bottom line if it continues.
Definitely, something like a 1/3 of student debt is delinquent even though unemployment has been relatively low. They make it extremely hard to default on student low payments anyways, so your instinct is right here, higher unemployment is going to mean the student debt crisis gets worse. There's probably also going to be a fiscal crisis as the government will have a hard time paying for everything with the shit economy and Trump's retarded tax cuts.
In my state the maximum "weekly benefits amount" is $350, and they only last for 20 weeks, during which time you only get them if you file weekly reports that you're actively looking for work. On top of all that, you're only eligible if you lose your job "through no fault of your own," which generally speaking, your job can just make up a reason to fire you, and it's not like the state will work very hard to investigate. Generally they just take your employer at their word, because fuck you.
And that's just unemployment. In my state you can't get medicare if you're unemployed, or food stamps either.
We're having fun nerd
you do know this is a fucking massive one day drop, it still could be a correction but the likelyhood of it being a crash has increased cosiderably from the NYSE opening to now.
Go to halfchan's /biz/, then pick and choose whatever lyrics are being screeched.
It reeaaaaaally doesn't want to go back up past -300 does it

Bloomberg live: What happened to the "buy the dip buy the dip"?
;_;
time.com
"If this correction turns into an official “bear market,” defined as a 20% loss or more for stocks, that certainly has to be considered. (A correction would be achieved if the Dow falls to 21,293, which is just 2,300 points from where the market was trading Friday afternoon)."
What does this mean???
AND SUGAR WE'RE GOING DOWN SWINGING
CAN WE BREAK 2%!?

Your dad should put money in reverse ETF instead like TVIX. Much higher gains
J'aime vraiment, vraiment , vraiment cette image.
Is that's what Soros is doing?
I'll settle for a 2% drop today, though I'm crossing my fingers that we see a massive drop in the late afternoon like we did yesterday.
Both of them in constant drop.

Looks like the buy le dip meme is starting to lose its traction again
Bloomberg live: "Stocks are finally rising again, looks like there was a little support – perhaps."

Your efforts have been rewarded. Rally reversing. Send more energy pls.
A bear market is a one effected by or created in anticipation of a slowdown, recession, or depression. Stock prices are depressed, buying slows, but it isn't necessarily a recessionary or depressionary situation yet.
The opposite was what we had until last Friday, a bull market, where everyone just fucking goes nuts buying and selling and the sky's the limit as far as "the economy" is concerned. Usually bull markets are associated with expanding economies and all the positive benefits bourgeois economics tend to associate with that.
Usually when a "bear market" is identified, it means that the economy is set to "retract" or decline, in production, consumption, etc. It might mean there'll be a exclamatory crash, or a long, gradual decline as diminishing supply/demand starve one another.
That might be where we are now if something doesn't stimulate the economy again, which the government/traders/etc don't want because it might lead to a sudden collapse, where everyone just stops trading altogether and the whole fucking thing flies apart.

Are these porky investors in the live chat? They're acting kind of weird
Look, when it is "over," you won't have to fucking ask.
This isn't an event like a fucking ball game where it's self contained and runs a finite amount of time. It's a process and it's going to have repercussions days, weeks, months, or even years later. Nothing is fucking over.
And it's in the green again… well shit
Who's on the wild ride now, cucks?

it's over boys i think it has…

lol we haven't even seen the rate hikes they're so afraid of to begin with
Yeah, they call yesterday's massive plummet of DOW right before the stock exchange's close "jitters." You have to be blind not to see the propaganda machine that is trying to hold this shit together with every catch-phrase and memetic band aid they can make up.
What has happened today? Give me a quick run-down while I'm on the shitter
this is a fact
Market's in the green
The market is currently buying the dip, expecting to sell the rally.
Market went down to -500, now it's at +200, all in the space of about half an hour.
It dropped 500 points and then rallied into the green. Still hasn't recovered from where it was earlier this week.
down to 73 now
Prepare yourselves lads. We're about to go DOOOOOWWWWNNNNN
lol, the fact it went that deep into the red should be alarming to you. it's all going to slide, maybe not now, but soon

What happened?
kek
Capitalism has been humiliated since 9/11 and 2008, spare me your "decades" I've lived them, and I have no faith in what you support.
Look commies, this is what an ideal market looks like. You may not like it, but this is what peak profitability looks like.
all the fucking labels.
LOL!

Get back to me in 6 months if your spic neighbors haven't killed you to use your skin as toilet paper first you sudaca shit

Where do you live?
No fun allowed
I think I'm more worried about Amerimutts sexually abusing someone outside of their pit
Uhmmm…
Are you Mexican?
...
It isn't without warrant, this still is the single biggest drop in global markets since 2008, and I seriously have doubts this is over.
It is all set up to be a bubble, and one way or another be it next week, next month, or even next year It's all going to crash.
You have no idea what you're talking about if you think unsustainable growth like this can go on forever, this is a boom, and following a boom there is a bust.
That is what occurred this week worldwide. It is not the end by any means.
Sudden drops
=AHAHAHAHAHAH
...
fugg i forgot about that maybe the crypto market will do something this week end
Guys… what if we are in the bear trap right now?
For the Ameriburger in the thread.
Remember that Tax Cut your government passed, or was it Tax Reform? Whatever it was, guess what this week did? It erased all growth made from that Tax Reform in your country, it wiped it back into November 2017
Before this ""Tax Reform"" your government made even existed. And yet your government promised, in its infinite arrogance and greed, it would """help working people""" and """help the econom""", all vacuous statements
=vacuous statements cemented by any growth it could have made being completely erased in a week
Why do you have any faith your government will improve the state of the economy when it has just shown it's at serious risk of not just pulling itself down, but pulling global markets down as well?
Pure irresponsibility for the system you even support!
I suggested that a while back.
It'd mean the most hilariously enormous drop in the economy since the fall of the fucking roman empire.
Tokyo opens in 3 hours. See you then, comrades.
then i'll be fucked cause i'm all out of alcohol
You may not like it commies, but do you see that giant cliff? That's peak performance and it's the cliff I intend to jump off of, owned bitch
...
Wait how does a bear trap makes the market drop? i think i'm mixing bull and bear trap over here
This entire past month, not just week, has been a loss of -4.64%. And people are claiming that it's been a success? What is the success? Where is it?
Minus 1,178.23 Points?
Is this what success looks like? Is this stable to Americans? Knowing all your health lives, family lives, and sexual lives, it wouldn't surprise me if at least the one of you here thinks this kind of complete loss is actually a "win"
You all live lives of constant loss and can salvage anything you can get, even for your own dominant ideology. Loss of empathy, friends and loved ones to health reasons, higher infant mortality, impoverished conditions.
If you think this is a win, I can't say I'm surprised. Being able to win for any Amerimutt is a win, even if it means getting care for injuries sustained from a car accident, despite having to foot the bill
Your talk of success is cheap just like your country
Bull is the one before the real shitstorm.
That would mean that we still have yet to even truly climb the mountain.
Sorry, bear trap is the one that comes first and it happens before the truly insane manic buying.
This isn't directed at any of you, just the guy going "hueh hueh commies btfo" for a slight rise.
This has still been an overall gigantic loss in all international markets, including America's. All your precious growth that your oafish president promised is gone.
So that would mean that we're still years away from the actual crash? Hope it's no a bear trap then
No not years, months if not weeks.
For this to be a bear trap there would have to be somewhere for this economy to grow, and all it's been doing for the past decade is cannibalizing itself. The only reason there's even the appearance of growth is because the Fed has been pumping a trillion dollars a year in practically free loans into the banks, and all they've been doing is handing it out to their corporate cronies, who then just buy their own stock, making it look like they're actually growing and increasing profitability, but they're not.
And what happens when that free money is threatened, not to be cut off, but just slowed down? The market shits its fucking pants.
China was the economic engine driving growth across the planet for the past thirty years, and that nickel's spent. There's no other market of comparable size to expand into, and no one has any idea of what to do or where to go in this "post-China" economy.
I expect that's what going to be happening this weekend. Whoever decides these sorts of things is going to try and cobble together some kind of plan to get the economy "back on track," but so far their only plan has been to 1) print money, 2) keep printing money, and 3) jesus christ for the love of god don't stop printing money. Ten years of this shit and they haven't managed to come up with anything else.
So really, all the fools crowing about "this is a correction!" or "this is normal!" had better hope they're fucking wrong, because otherwise it's most likely going to mean 4) see step one, and all the systemic contradictions and countervailing economic pressures building within it are going to swell the eventual detonation from "bunker buster" to "Tsar Bomba," and there won't be a bunker deep or hardened enough to save anyone.
No, these series of bubble can pop at literally at any time. One week. One month. One year even.
This severe drop was a warning. It was an earthquake before a volcanic Eruption.
This is not hyperbole. All the signs for this "volcanic eruption" of sorts are there, and you will not be ready for it when it finally erupts. Like everyone in 2008 wasn't ready and taken by complete surprise. Despite this they had warnings all year, with drops and rises, drops and rises.
If this is the warning, you should be scared shitless. You can't have this amount of unsustainable growth, with a series of giant bubbles, without a domino effect of consequences.
It's just chaos theory at this point.
American commie here, stop shoving us with American Porky & reactionary corp. will ya,
If it's the first one it means we still have years before the actual crash. It'd also mean basically the bankruptcy of huge swathes of the economy.
I was speaking in the direction of one certain poster
thanks for clarification. The thread is a bit manic especially with my slow bandwidth.
2008 was the bear trap
gr8 post
God I love Wolfe
Also when I mean "Amerimutt" I usually mean a specific kind of person. One that defends all the faults of their system and economy blindly, with total faith in its institutions, no matter how corrupt they are, to keep everything going. I'm talking about defense of domestic abuse, sexual abuse, racism, classism, capitalism, everything quintessentially wrong with America in the eyes of the rest of the world.
I don't mean those who know enough. I'm speaking of people who know the problems and whole heartedly support them anyways.
just fucking nuke'm all
It's okay, I'll be in my bunker.
So what's y'alls personal take on this day? Even though I thought it would go into the red today, I highly doubt that we're in a bear trap.
There's always the asian markets to spectate too.
I'd like to expand on this notion, to clarify the implications, to draw a clear picture if you will.
If 2008 was the bear trap, to a much larger trend; say 10-20 years. Then this "bull trap" map last for maybe as long as a year, it'll dip lower (maybe to 20,000 on the DOW), then climb higher (maybe back to about 24,000). After that, it'll taper off, and then dive, and dive HARD.
We may see something bigger than 1929 in 2019.
I'm betting we'll see some continued drops over next week. Some stagnation. It will probably float like that, a little up, a little down, for a couple weeks, then we'll probably have another couple days of significant drops.
I'm doubtful that the Dow will get as high as it was before this week - people will be a bit shook by 'the worst week for the market since 2008' for a while. It could recover a bit, I don't doubt that it will, in fact, but I'm guessing we'll see a downward trend for the rest of the year, even if that trend is slow.
I don't really have anything to base this on, but I get the feeling that a lot of the upward forces keeping today from just plummeting were motivated by "bargain hunters" looking to snap up some properties before the weekend. There'll be no trading for the next couple days, which will give them time to assess what's happening and see what might happen next. They'll get to see how the Asian market responds, what the governments do, and if anything big happens to stir the pot.
Yeah, they might have paid a pretty steep price for whatever they bought today, but it at least won't go down for the time being, and if it doesn't look like things are going to improve, they can dump it and keep some of their money. If it looks like it will improve, because Trump promised something or the Fed said this or that or whatever, then they managed to snap up some juicy stocks at a discount right before their value appreciates again.
This is just speculation, but I think it's reasonable, especially since no one really seems to know what the fuck is happening yet or what it's going to mean.
That would be my guess unless there's a big change in policy or some other announcement to spur things on.
The entire market is a speculative bubble.

How long until the Nikkei opens
It's 8:30 there now, so another half-hour I think.
why does Nikkei look like an accelerometer?
You know why
Wait is the Nikkei open on weekends?
…derp
We'll have to settle with a cryptomarket crash then, i mean it has been stable for two whole days a crash is overdue
Opens in 1 minute.
HAHAHAHA :) Good one
It's been remarkably stable so far Asian discipline is no joke.
What exactly is open now?
Ah that's right, it's already tomorrow in Moonland. We'll just have to settle for it being at -506 for the next two days.
If we're in the bear trap now, that means we have decades until the real crash. And that not only will the crash be spectacularly immense, but the escalation in buying will be hard to even imagine for us now.
A recession comes every 6-8 years. Its been like 10 years since the last one. This is it. This will be the big crash and what we're seeing now are just the fault lines before shit really starts to nosedive.
No way this is a bear trap.

good night, crash that shit for me.
I can see the dotcom bubble, the '08 bubble and yes we're in a huge bubble right now.
Nuclear fuckin' meltdown's-a comin' I'll tell ya hwat!
I have to say, one of the funnier things about this thread has been watching the totally normal and not at all insecure and dysfunctional Holla Forumsyps trying to shit it up.
It's because any economic downturn reflects poorly on daddy. It's actually a bit strange how much they are into the Trump cult of personality. If Trump weren't the president they would be cheering with us.
At the end of the day, he is them: a rich oaf who bumbled his way to the top off daddy's money.
You ever look at those chad dipshits you see at a nice dorm at a for-profit college? That's him, right there: slow-witted, dumpy, entitled, tacky fashion sense, and utterly lacking in anything that could possibly be described as a chin. They're impressed by shiny objects and Big Things That Move Around (TM), think every woman that gives them half a chubby owes them unrestricted access to every possible hole of theirs, and if you ask them for an opinion on something, they stumble over themselves, attempt to sound smart, and fail, instead just offering a word salad of vapid feel-good speak. That's him. That's your average of-age Holla Forumsack. They are him.
I can't pretend like seeing /leftpol/ plummet down to 3 posts an hour doesn't give me a certain gratification.
That's what happened this past Monday, wasn't it? Big sell off Friday, then it dropped off the fucking cliff on Monday.
A repeat of that would be phenomenal.
...
So just woke up from a bender last night, what happened with the DAX, DOW JONES, NIKKEI and HANG SUN in the ned?
CHECK EM
nothing much
dow +1,4 after getting down for a while
dax just -1,2 with some upwards but general just falling
nikkei -2.3 dropped a bunch and holding
hang seng -3,1 dropped a bunch and holding
also 25 minutes until they open in new york again, we'll see if they can hold on to the plus
Th NYSE opens on weekends?
not my fault i don't have a life
and even if it is, i don't give a fuck
i love you a-anyway user~
Sooooooo is it just a correction?
just one
just a bulltrap
There's no way of knowing for sure just yet. I'm sure Bloomberg, FT, NYT, WSJ, etc are overflowing with takes that would overload the scoville scale though.
I feel like everything happened faster than I could comprehend. Was able to follow shit on the first day but by noon on the next day I was literally lost.
Is it over? Any updates?
It's the weekend you dipshit.
...
You tell me.
God this is depressing, I think I might actually be slightly traumatized from 2008.
Chances are, more than "slightly."
...
Whats worse is that if the crash is actually happening then this crisis is gonna be way harder than 2008
Probably, yeah. I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone thinks of capitalism once there's nothing stopping it from preying on them and everyone they know and love.
This is from a blog post from Tuesday by Marxist economist Michael Roberts:
thenextrecession.wordpress.com
Anyone got other reflections from Marxists since?
When the crash comes Greece will have an Anarchist Revolution.
can someone explain the difference between a bulltrap and a crash?

BTC isn't going down. It's stagnating, which is arguably worse for the idiots who bought during January or (god forbid) december since it implies that there is some kind of ceiling.
A week of stagnation isn't enough to say that the crash is over
It's a old meme from Holla Forums
What happens tomorrow?
The Nikkei opens in about 35 minutes. We'll probably learn then.
IMO we'll either see more of the same up and down instability as traders try and hammer out what's going on, a big sell off since nothing happened over the weekend, or if there was some development I'm not aware of, a rebound in purchasing. I figure things ended up on Friday because of the weekend kinda sorta guarantees a kind of stability, and to wait and see what might happen in the mean while.
My money is on a big sell off like last monday, though. But the future is ever in motion.
I think that the Nikkei is closed because of a holiday
The stock market keeps crashing, but it's fine because it's just a correction and the stock market isn't the economy.

Fuck, looks like you're right. What Jap holiday is it?
God damn it why does Japan have to ruin everything
The Australian and New Zealand exchanges are open though
Still got Hang Sen.
I think that the holiday is related to the Nikkei not Japan but HDEX and SSE will both open in one hour so will still have a chance to witness a crash
Seems like shit is likely to head further south this coming week. I'm so not ready for this but at this same time am mildly aroused.
ONE
Okay link Australian stock markets to use so we can see what the Emos are doing.
This meme should be remade for the Dow
And it has oficially started.

I don't want to look. It's just going to make me angry.
It's over lads I've done some TA it really was a correction after all
This is gonna be a wild ride, isn't it?
It's way too early to tell but so far it looks like a boring slow raise
You'll always get some boring ass days sometimes, but there is no chance in hell that this can last for more than a week at best.
we're under the opening there's still hope!
I am being optimistic though.
Why on earth is the market so volatile?
Inflation might force the Fed to increase the price of money, which might destroy the entire Obama economy.
Goddammit it's 3:30am if this shit doesn't lose 200 points in the next half i'm leaving
I'm not an expert but such rapid ups and downs shouldn't be healthy
Yeah this is weird regardless.
It's a game where there are no rules and the points don't matter.
Nothing has a solid value, but everything is based off the value everyone imagines these things to be based off of the amount people paid for them. But those things might not actually be worth anything, or even worth less than worthless. The problem is there's no way to know because all these guesses are based off of other people's guess work about how much they think other people will pay for whatever they're trying to sell.
And when all this fucking guessing game bullshit turns out to be smoke and mirrors, you get 'corrections" like this, where people try to guess the new numbers when they find out the old ones were wrong and the market guessed too high or too low.
So right now everyone is trying to guess what everyone else is guessing, and buying all the slips they think are good guesses and sell all the ones they think are bad guesses.
Why is the market so volatile? Your guess is as good as mine.
LOL WHAT
It's going back down again now. Seesawing all over the place.
this is the pulse of those involved as well, btw
This is gonna be a crazy week, isn't it
There are some people saying that this is the "new normal." If any of these spinning plates fall they're going to take the rest with them. It's gonna be great
Porkie thinks the new “correction” means the market values are now perfect, making Porky buy stalk.
I'm gonna laugh if we're moving into a bulltrap now.
Let us consult the augury.
U.S. Stock Futures Rise as Investors Hit Desks After Brutal Week

Sorry guys, I guess Hayek and his Chicago Boys win again.
t. it's actually exactly like 2008
No, he's right, it is nothing like 2008.
It's WORSE than 2008.
Hahahaha dis gonna be good
Remember China is Capitalism with Social Democratic Chateristics, not pure Neoliberalism, they can’t be counted on to be representative of what’ll happen in Europe, America, or even South Korea & Japan.
Raging over good market scores.
but will it be worst than 1929?
...
Meh. Just keep your eye on the long-term trends.
Yeah I know, just I Hang Seng going up by so much took me by surprise. I thought it’s stagnate or go up by less than 0.5% a 1% increase is a lot. ☭TANKIE☭s are probably happy because Hang Seng is “anti-imperalist.”
I haven't seen one "tankie" in this thread trying to claim the perspective you are trying to push here. I've seen several butthurt idiots trying to derail the thread however into the usual hysterics. Maybe >>>/leftpol/ is more fitting your disability.
I think the "China can do no wrong" and "Fascism is anti-imperialism when it fights America" tanks are gone
the drama kinda over
STOP derailing the fucking thread. Nobody is interested in your idiocy.
I forgot to link the two posts above me chill
hilarious interview on Bloomberg Live with a chinese investor lady:

MMMmmmmmm
There is a very real possibility, yes.
On the one hand, Porky isn't stupid. They know that economic cycles are a thing, too.
On the other hand, the things they'd need to do in order to prevent, much less mitigate, these cycles would directly impede profit generation, and when they are put in place, they do everything they can to dismantle them.
The global economy in 1929 wasn't nearly as interdependent as it is now. National economies were still dominated by and large by the national bourgeois. That doesn't change until after WW2, but in 1929, even though international trade and national productivity collapsed, the internal structures of the national economy was still intact. Is there a single hospital in the US that doesn't outsource essential services to India? Is there a single industry that doesn't rely on the industrial labor from a dozen different countries? How many millions of tons of foreign food does the US alone require to feed its people? What will happen when all these interconnected industries suddenly aren't there any more?
The only comparable event that leaps to my mind would be the collapse of the Imperial economy in the last centuries/decades of the Roman Empire. The disintegration of the state body also lead to the disintegration of the international economy within its borders. This lead to economic and social chaos that took centuries to overcome. This isn't ancient Rome, but if there is a crash on a scale comparable to 1929, I think it's going to take the entire planet's economy as we currently know it down with it, and it'll fall so hard that I can't even begin to guess at who and what is going to get flattened under the rubble.
Australia. Closes in 1 hour.
ASX200: what a day!
This level of 'good' is acceptable. Just because the numbers are green doesn't mean the markets are recovering or that the ride is anywhere near over. This stuff is small fry in the broader outlook, In the context of the drops we've seen last week this is negligible and just the briefest moment of calm before the storm. The real interesting stuff will be seeing the American markets resume after the weekend.

That fucking ice water dude is tearing my sides apart i have to leave but please keep take more screens of him
Australia started falling 30 mins before closing time.

5 minutes to close, Australia going bit spastic.
...
Australia closed.
Qatar just opened but I can't find an index for QE.
d'oh. opens in one and a half hours
This is Shanghai reopening after the lunch break.
Hong Kong reacting?
Russian open.
Saudi Arabia open.
Turkey open.
So as I understand Keynesnian theory, a lot of economic wellbeing has to do with spooky investor confidence. Does this mean that rising markets elsewhere will stimulate US stock markets? Will we really get a good idea from Europe? Does 'investor confidence' in one place more or less equally affect it elsewhere? Intuition tells me US and China determine how the others go, not vice versa. Hoping for another -1000 day today boys.
Bloomberg Live calls it a "very strong global recovery".
US is still the hegemon for global finance, so everybody follows US's lead.
They'll say anything to try and stop investors on the NYSE panicking
I don't think so, Tim. When US opens up, we're back to our regularly scheduled crash.
