Who do you hope enjoys this? Why are you excited for something bad to happen?

  Bad is a matter of perspective isn’t it?

  Obvious sarcasm is not obvious?

  It's a phrase. "hope you enjoy X". It just means "I'm pretty sure X is about to happen". It doesn't mean the person is excited for it.

    It also has the implication that they think X is bad and expect you to feel the same way, which, as one of the replies says, isn’t guaranteed, like if you’re more lender than borrower.

  If it happens, I will enjoy it. I would be relatively happy to see inflation drop while interest rates are above 10%. I could secure my financial future at much lower risk in that world. I'm not ideally positioned for that eventuality, because I didn't (and still don't) predict that outcome, but it would certainly be an opportunity-filled moment were it to occur. Honestly, "enjoy" is overstating the situation. The macro economy around such a circumstance would probably be miserable, so I would probably be unhappy. But, I would be happy to have the opportunity that such a moment would produce.

    Any market change is good for you if you can predict it with precision and capitalize on it effectively.

      including no change, actually, thanks to the availability of all sorts of interesting options contracts
