Summary
The post is a daily discussion thread reflecting extreme market pessimism due to a hypothetical ongoing US-Iran conflict, rising inflation, and political instability.
Users are lamenting significant portfolio losses, though some see long-term buying opportunities in beaten-down mega-caps like MSFT.
Quality assessment: Mostly noise and emotional venting, mixed with macro speculation regarding oil prices, defense spending, and bond yields.

[+12] u/azurite--: vote for a clown get a circus, still buying for long term stuff though.
[+10] u/iamacheeto1: i'm straight up not having a good time
[+10] u/Beetlejuice_hero: Biden should not have run for re election and he/the DNC should have had a much better succession plan (e.g. step down after the successful ‘22 midterms for a dynamic primary), but I miss boring, low drama center left Presidents.
I can’t imagine this country votes for more of this nonsense via Vance in ‘28 but they’re so good at campaigning and propaganda and elevating the nonsense wedge issues like “trans for everybody” that who can really say for sure.
So weird to long for a President Romney. Really weird.

[+7] u/hrm015: Tired of all this winning. Thanks, Trump
[+7] u/MutaliskGluon: I keep expecting to see QQQ +2% and some nonsense tweet but we are still red.
[+6] u/i_am_mr_blue: Let this be a kesson for the CEOs rallying behind trump. They could pushback against trump insanity about tariffs and Trump wont be bold enough rto do all this Iran shit. Now they get destabilized inflationary environment. Spy to 600
[+6] u/rotten167: All of my VTI gains from the last year and a half have been wiped out
[+6] u/creemeeseason: Bloomberg reporting that Russian oil producers are now contemplating force majeure because so much of their capacity has been destroyed.
[+6] u/staythewaters: Iran-linked hackers claim breach of FBI director’s personal email; DOJ official confirms break-in: Report
Iran-linked hackers have publicly claimed the breach of FBI Director Kash Patel’s personal inbox, publishing photographs of the director and his purported resume.
A US Justice Department official confirmed to Reuters that Patel’s emails were compromised but did not go into detail. The FBI did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
lmao
[+5] u/looool_k_libtard: 10 year almost 4.5%, 20 year above 5%, VIX hit $30 in the morning. Bessent having a meltdown somewhere in DC.
[+5] u/40cappo40: For the first time ever, the markets did not believe a word from Trump (RE: delay to April 6). WOW
[+5] u/Swimming_Reply6673: Trump isn't going to let the market sell off into the weekend. We will get another post about fake deals or meetings today I'm sure.
[+5] u/Zealousideal-Bus4712: 10-year about to break 4.5%. huge if true. inflation expectations rising. if they don't get the strait opened soon, we could be facing upper-single or even double-digit inflation in the coming months.
[+5] u/Dazzling-Compote-394: Anybody want to guess what Trump's market manipulating truth social post will be about today after the market closes?
[+5] u/InvisibleEar: I've literally been doing doordash on my days off for money to put into stocks and we're cooked for the year because a pedophile loves seeing dead children, this sucks
[+5] u/_hiddenscout: >The U.S. military has fired more than 850 Tomahawk cruise missiles in four weeks of war with Iran, burning through the precision weapons at a rate that has alarmed some Pentagon officials and prompted internal discussions about how to make more available. - WaPo
[+5] u/GomaN1717: I've been long on MSFT since 2020 (and still am), but woo wee is it wild to basically see 2-years of gains wiped out.
The prospect of buying at 2023 levels is kinda wild.
[+5] u/NotGucci: Msft at liberation day lows.
MSFT has sold off heavily, returning to November 2023 price levels. The broader market panic has dragged down high-quality mega-cap tech stocks to historically attractive valuations. Buying MSFT at these multi-year lows presents a strong long-term opportunity. Continued geopolitical escalation and rising yields could compress tech multiples further.
The US military has fired over 850 Tomahawk missiles in four weeks, alarming the Pentagon about inventory levels. The rapid depletion of precision weapons will force the DoD to issue massive replacement contracts to defense contractors. Defense stocks will benefit from emergency government spending to replenish munitions. Sudden ceasefire or budget impasses in Congress delaying procurement.
Russian oil producers are contemplating force majeure due to destroyed capacity, and the Strait of Hormuz is threatened. Massive supply disruptions in both Russia and the Middle East will severely constrain global oil supply. Oil prices will continue to rise as supply shocks hit the market. Geopolitical de-escalation or demand destruction from a severe global recession.
