FUND

The fundamental apprehension surrounding the S&P 500 index, which is tracked closely by the SPY exchange-traded fund, is that the trajectory is likely to be downward, and this is a sentiment that is pervasive, even if the concrete reasoning is perpetually just out of reach, for the air outside is remarkably thick today, a humid blanket that is oppressive, which is often what is called a "tropical feel" even though we are clearly miles from any actual tropics, and this weather condition is, in fact, entirely divorced from the sophisticated algorithms that are determining valuation, but the general feeling it instills is one of foreboding, which is a feeling that is is is often mistaken for actionable intelligence, and the latest news broadcast is confirming that the state legislative session is adjourned, which is a procedural note that is neither bullish nor bearish, yet it is a development in the world, and the world is what the market is supposed to be reflecting, isn't it, and the very structure of the modern financial system is so intricately layered that the smallest disturbance is felt everywhere, which is to say that the butterfly effect is always in play, and the cloud cover that is currently obscuring the morning sun is a physical representation of that opacity, and the fact that the local football team, which is the Bears, is still struggling to secure a winning season is a persistent cultural fact, and that struggle is mirrored in the way consumer confidence is consistently failing to reach projected heights, which is a statement that is is is fundamentally true in the aggregated data, but the connection between a missed field goal and the forward price-to-earnings ratio is tenuous, which is what makes the whole situation so mystifying, because everything is connected, and yet nothing is, which is the market paradox, and the latest headline is about a celebrity chef who is opening a new restaurant downtown, and this is local news that is highly anticipated by the food critics, and that anticipated surge of commercial activity is technically an economic positive, but the SPY is not merely concerned with artisanal sourdough, it is concerned with the vast machinery of global commerce, which is immense, and the sound of the distant siren is a reminder that life is continuous, which is what trading is also, a continuous process of buying and selling, and the inherent volatility is what is both terrifying and exhilarating, which is a dual sensation that is hard to maintain equilibrium with, and the historical pattern is that every peak is followed by a trough, which is a cycle that is inevitable, like the changing of the seasons, and the current season is autumn, which is a time of decay and renewal, and that dualistic nature is what is is is making the prognostications so complicated, and the sheer volume of data that is now available is overwhelming, which is a condition that often leads to analysis paralysis, and the best analysis is often the simplest, but simplicity is elusive in a world where complexity is the default, and the SPY is a composite, it is an aggregation of 500 different stories, and each story is unique, and the current narrative is one of overextension, or maybe it is just one of healthy valuation, but the feeling persists that the gravity is too strong, and what goes up must eventually come down, which is a Newtonian principle that is is is not directly applicable to finance, yet it informs the psychology, and the psychology is what is ultimately driving the prices, and the chatter on the forums is a cacophony of conflicting advice, which is what always happens during these periods of high tension, and the fact is that everything is subject to revision, and the most recent projections are being revised right now, which is a clear sign that the future is uncertain, which is a tautology, but it is a necessary tautology, and the rain is starting to fall, which is a meteorological event that is perfectly natural, but the market is often susceptible to these external forces, which is why a rainy day is sometimes seen as a bearish indicator, and this is irrational, but the market is often irrational, which is a truth that is universally acknowledged, and the underlying conviction is that the consolidation phase is over, and the time for retreat is upon us, which is a view that is based more on a hunch than on verifiable metrics, but the hunch is what is often correct in the short term, and the short term is what everyone is focused on, and the long-term outlook is a completely different conversation that is being postponed indefinitely, which is a tragedy, because true wealth is built slowly, but the immediate concern is the daily chart, which is what is causing the palpitations, and the conclusion is inescapable: the weight of evidence suggests that the SPY is going to go down, is is is, which is the only point that is being made, even though no actual point is being made at all, because the wind is shifting direction, which is a sign of nothing, and the bell is about to ring, and the result is what it is.

“Just invest in an index fund and you’ll have enough money to retire by the time you’re 60” Ehh, no thanks. I’ll invest in meme stocks and penny tickers and get rich by next month or go broke trying.

Michael Burry packed up his fund, slapped on a parachute, and yeeted himself into the financial ether. Man’s the modern-day D.B. Cooper, except instead of cash, he’s running off with put contracts.

Just buy an index fund, unless you’re looking to start a career in loss porn

All these articles saying hedge fund dumping stocks is getting me scared lol. I have my life savings in the stock market.

Nvda earnings are going to be so good, every dumbass hedge fund and bank will be scrambling to buy everything back at a higher price.

Obviously he doesn’t have his money in an index fund Einstein.

It's crazy how many people invest in fake money that doesn't do anything except fund gambling websites and drug deals.

I got out last December. I have outperformed TSLA and AMZN by just sitting in a money market fund.

I will never gamble ever again. I will be poor with 10% yearly average index fund growth. Knowing my luck we will see the next 10 years with no stock market growth like post dotcom bubble. It just makes no sense when the bets always end up 50/50s that you always lose. Honestly this whole stock thing is overrated anyway. Imagine investing at the absolute peak of a new dotcom bubble like a fucking moron.

I am here once again pledging for your support in contributing to my food fund. I will not be able to afford food for the foreseeable future and will depend on the generosity from WSB degens moving forward. Please DM for my Venmo. Thank you.

🎵 Saudis with your investment fund, won't you pump my bags for fun? 🎵

saudi invesment is more like $100 million in actual investment and 599 billion someones slush fund

Saudi PIF just sold US stocks two days ago. Now they say they will consider investing 110% of their fund in the US market? Haha

The Saudi wealth fund in total is only $1 trillion, so unless they're relocating all of that into the US, I don't know where the money is coming from

Please back to ATH, modern dating is a scam so I need to fund hookers and blow ❤️ 

You don't even need a crash now and this is already going down as one of the most pathetic years in Market history.  Dead average 12% return at best on a supposed AI Renaissance that so far resulted in billions (trillions?) in dollars and watts of energy wasted. All to fund the Great Race to Replace the last high earning secure job types aside from Plumber. Nuclear Reactors? Like now we're interested in building Nuclear Reactors? Just for mining 🌽 and AI? All that for Sora Vids on Fat Parkour and a ChatGPT Waifu that will still cheat on you eventually. TLDR: The 🍟 are a lie. Did you ever even bother to look in all those 🛍s you're holding?

Looks like Saylor had a productive night at the dumpsters and got more liquidity to fund his next round of corn purchase

*Michael Beary shuts down fund* MM: time to tank it boiz

Amazon.com Inc. raised $15 billion in its first US dollar bond offering in three years, adding to a spree of jumbo debt sales by technology firms as they race to fund artificial-intelligence infrastructure. The proceeds of the deal — which topped initial estimates by $3 billion — will be used for everything from acquisitions and capital expenditures to share buybacks, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

LONG 'MAGNIFICIENT SEVEN' IS MOST CROWDED TRADE, BOFA SURVEY SAYS Buying the leading U.S. tech stocks of Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta Platforms, Microsoft, Nvidia and Tesla--referred to as the "Magnificient Seven"--is considered the most crowded trade by 54% of respondents in the Bank of America global fund manager survey for November. Long Magnificient Seven overtook long gold as the most crowded trade in November, BofA says. What could go right?

AI BUBBLE FEARS SURGE, BOFA SURVEY FINDS Bank of America’s latest global fund manager survey shows the biggest market “tail risk” is an AI stock bubble. • 45% of investors named an AI bubble as the top risk — up sharply from October. • Only 17% cited rising bond yields (previously the #1 concern), and 16% cited inflation. • LMAO everybody knew, nobody sold

Japan tech fund : There is no bubble Bill Gates : There is a bubble bigger than dotcom Google : There is no bubble. But when it bursts, we'll all pay Pick your fighter

Just found out Robinhood lets us short now. Rubs hand like hedge fund

I think the elites are messing with Burry. He closes his fund and then the market tanks

Wake me up when a bank or hedge fund fails

Saylor better go to fiat to fund his pardon 🤣

Tom Lee's corn fund going down. But he said $1,000,000 per ear?

Should be a nice clean dump but that tariff fund is spamming the bid lol

They should all go straight to jail! And I agree, just like when Bessent had the closed door meeting with the hedge fund CEOs and the market took off next day, this time Trump had a closed door meeting with bank executives and market tanked next day (was wed or thurs of last week). Def trading on insider info that we don’t have.

1. Panic sell on red day. 2. Confirm turnaround and positive momentum on green day. 3. Reenter position at higher cost basis. 4. Be exit liquidity for the fund that bought from you in Step 1. 5. Watch price immediately retreat. 6. Panic.

My Hedge Fund contacts are chatting about locking in profits for the year by selling and going to cash, then heading on a long holiday vacay. The volatility is going to increase further. Becareful out there.

*The year is >!2025!< Bitcoin collapsed from its heights at a 99.999% loss from its all time highs. Investors are performing gangland violence on their fund managers who thought it was a great idea. Michael Saylors went long ROPE before he was to join SBF. Michael Burry’s announcement shortly after in November was that his autistic kid had also bought corn 🌽. It was a dark time for the USA*

But also it’s not even private. Anyone who owns $40,000 in a Baron fund gets an invite. They have like 3 different live performances you can pick for lunch and a surprise one at the end for everyone. This year the surprise was Pink. Last year was Michael Buble. I saw Shania Twain for lunch. But I heard that Italian comedian Sebastian Maniscalco was at the other venue if you picked comedy. It’s unheard of for a mutual fund company to do this.

What crazy shit did he say? After the TSLA shareholder meeting I'm betting he says even wilder shit in the private fund meetings

Saw Elon Musk last week at the Baron Investment conference in NYC. If you own their mutual fund which has a 30% holding in SpaceX (no brainer) you get an invite. Feel bad for your poor degenerates who don't get to experience their annual conferences.

Here comes our hedge fund manager. 🤣😂

i just want my trust fund to come in

Is there still a fund inversing him? It has to be on purpose 

Well, it good be worse. At least I didn’t Diamond Hands all my crypto. I sold out of that s**t for a big profit to fund my ride to the earths core with my stocks. Hey, it’s not a loss until you sell, right guys? Guys? Hello?!

Fun fact. Allocating $1 to presidential fund, does not change your tax refund amount regardless of decision made

I know what did wrong that my portfolio is in shambles. I didn’t donate $1 to presidents fund when I was filling my taxes.

Tech companies depreciate their assets over six years and everybody cheers. But I depreciate my assets over six years and it’s all “seek help for your gambling addiction” and “stop selling your body on the street to fund 0dtes” 🙄🙄 Nobody asked you Susan! I’m only at this stupid reunion for the free buffet!! 

>Saudi sovereign wealth fund cuts holdings of U.S. stocks #Even out most loyal dogs are moving away from us LMAO🤌

Rich guys liquidating so they can fund their defence case when the New York financier truth comes out

Does LULU pop before Burry closes his fund in Q4? He's long MOH and LULU

What we need is some sort of fund or stock that goes up 20% every year, without fail. Should be simple really

Always sell by 10 am, the hedge fund guys like to be on the golf course by 11

Back in the 90s Michael Saylor was a fraudster and cooked the books for his shitty company. In March of 2000, he finally admitted his books were cooked and the entire market tanked, he is actually one of the main reasons why the dotcom bubble burst as the market had peaked just 7 days before. Now fast forward to now, people really thought it was a good idea to invest in his crypto fund buying virtual currencies Can’t make this shit up

Peter Thiel is famous for being a venture capitalist, but his returns as a hedge fund manager are not good regarding his full exit from Nvidia
