I think the bigger problem is the reason why people are pulling back their money from US markets.

US markets have been flying high since COVID. Much more than other countries' markets. Why not take profit when US markets + dollar is at a high?

  Why are you ignoring the real reason?

      Policy is not emotional. There is such a thing as good policy, and bad policy. And, ironically, failing to call obviously bad policy bad is emotional.

    And what do you think the real reason is?

      Economic instability and uncertainty. How high it is compared to other markets is debatable it has increased significantly this year due obvious reasons, though

        S&P500 literally at an all time high. Even I wasn't paying attention for a few days (just flew to Canada from Europe). So my theory of profit taking seems right, back to fresh highs.

        > S&P500 literally at an all time high. It still has 10% to go to surpass its previous peak if measured in euros. Which is kind of the point. Currency depreciation is usually good for the local stock market, that’s not too surprising. Since Trump’s inauguration even the STOXX 600 managed to outperform the S&P 500 which is something that almost never happened.

  The US Market is definitely more optimized more than say European, at the sacrifice of the common good of the people and to the advancement of broligarchs. Trump is doing is best to kill even that (I think it's not his intention, he's just not good with money), via tariffs and crazy economic policies and promoting even bigger deficits than we had during covid. I'm not sure how much longer it can fly high though.

It's kind of jaw dropping to see people here continually avoid the elephant in the room, same thing in discussions about Tesla sales.

  The points avoiding the elephant in the room are basically deliberate, in support of the elephant. They think the elephant is some good thing that is going to destroy the woke, or inflation, or the immigrants, or whatever the hypocritical bogeyman is next week. But it is certainly not poised to destroy them, because they are the true patriotic Americans, don't you know. It is only everything else about this country that is wrong. And as soon as the elephant is done wrecking everything that is bad, their own true brilliance will be allowed to blossom. Or at least so they seem to think.
