It`s so odd, were told that the market needed to "correct"...............all I know is I decided to look at my 401K and I lost about $25k. I don't know jack about investing; I put my 12% in every paycheck and my 401K has done great for the last decade, have we done so much winning that we needed to reverse the trend? Did we need to bail out the banks, the farmers...............have a catastrophic instance where we had to give someone billions or did, we just have an idiot who decided to burn it down for his own pleasure and the rest of us get to pay for it
Where are my bitcoin bros at? @DonnyMost Stocks are down 15% and the dollar is also down 10%. We are cooked.
I have no money in stocks so I've just been chilling. BTC's day-to-day volatility makes this whole tariff nonsense look like a tempest in a teapot.
President controlling the FED is ****ing dumb. But money buying our Presidents and policy is also dumb, so good luck.
Stocks to watch next week: Tesla, Alphabet, Intel, Boeing and Unilever As the latest earnings season gets well underway, there are a range of big-name companies due to report in the coming week. Two Magnificent 7 companies are reporting next week, with Elon Musk's Tesla (TSLA) due to release results on Tuesday, followed by Google-parent Alphabet (GOOGL, GOOG) on Thursday. Another tech stock in focus next week will be Intel (INTC), with investors keen to see more detail on how new CEO Lip-Bu Tan plans to turn the troubled chipmaker around. US planemaker Boeing (BA) is another company slated to report, with investors waiting to find out more on how the company could be impacted by escalating trade tensions. In a shortened week for UK markets, which are closed for the Easter bank holiday on Monday, Unilever (ULVR.L) is due to report on Thursday. Tesla (TSLA) – Releases first quarter results on Tuesday 22 April Shares in Tesla (TSLA) have slumped 37% year-to-date, as the electric vehicle company's sales have declined in different countries and backlash against CEO Elon Musk has grown. Earlier in April, reported first quarter global deliveries that widely missed estimates. For the quarter, Tesla reported 336,681 deliveries compared to expectations of 390,342, according to Bloomberg consensus estimates, making it the worst quarter for deliveries since the second quarter of 2022. Protesters have gathered at Tesla showrooms around the world to demonstrate against Musk's political activities, in heading up US president Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and overseeing cuts to government agencies. "Tesla comes into results as arguably the most scrutinised company in the world," said Matt Britzman, senior equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown. "That’s not really a position investors want to be in, and there’ll be a lot of focus on whether Elon Musk gives any indication of when he might be stepping back from DOGE. A return to business as usual would be welcomed with open arms. Investors will also be looking for some clarity on more affordable vehicles and any updates on the imminent launch of the robotaxi service in June." In the fourth quarter, Tesla posted revenue of $25.7bn (£19.4bn), which was well below the $27.2bn expected by analysts, as well as being up just 2% on the same period in the previous year. Adjusted earnings per share of $0.73, also came in below expectations of $0.75. For the full-year, Tesla generated revenue of $97.7bn, which was up just 1% on 2023. For the first quarter, Britzman said that "revenue is expected to come in broadly flat year-on-year, with a drop in earnings as Tesla transitioned to the refreshed version of its best-selling car, the Model Y. Things could pick up again in the coming quarter, with strong sales of the new Model Y to Chinese buyers a good indication that the refresh is just as popular as its predecessor." TSLA Earnings Date Tesla, Inc. Common Stock is expected* to report earnings on 04/22/2025 after market close. The report will be for the fiscal Quarter ending Mar 2025. According to Zacks Investment Research, based on 7 analysts' forecasts, the consensus EPS forecast for the quarter is $0.36. The reported EPS for the same quarter last year was $0.35.
The president controlling the fed would be a giant ****ing deal for everyone and everything. Especially the stock market.
You answered your own question? The President wants to further insert himself into stocks, this thread is about..... wow, stocks? Hmm.... move this to the DD then. Don't come at ME over reality. Like it's my fault? Lulz.
Sorry. I misunderstood. I thought the thread was about stocks and investing in stocks. Apparently my reading comprehension sucks. Now that I stand corrected and we can talk about Trump and the federal reserve.... I think Trump is doing an awesome job with the federal reserve. I hope he replaces Powell and gets rates lowered down to zero. This will be great for the economy.... aka my stocks.
Holy crap @Sajan wasn't lyin! Maybe they'll lower the rates to your IQ and you'll get your wish. Lulz
My only complaint is people acting like the Fed is an independent entity. It masquerades as one but in practice it isn't. That said the president (especially someone like Trump) should not control the Fed or fire Powell.
