Perhaps analysts, like many others, are chasten by the fact that “trees don’t grow to the sky”. While the market has been climbing for three years, one starts to worry when the trap door will open, so it is natural to position yourself for an “enviable” decline (so you’ll still have a job on the other side.) The cost of tariffs is more heavily born by those who live hand to mouth. Having a cushion or living with fear of being “on the street” leads to the “K economy”. So that fear might keep the party going for now, but although being prudent might lead to not going up as fast as 4.3, it may keep an analyst from having to wear the barrel.

Midterm curse since 1930 says market will suffer 17.5 percent average drop from pre-election high (range of drop 7.4 to 40 percent suffered 23/23 midterm election years since 1930. The low was hit before midterm election itself 22/23 years and in 2018 the next month with pattern holding. Enjoy the Santa rally. I will sell early January and wait for at least 7.4 percent drop to add 25 percent and then add on further weakness, or buy in full in early November for the post-midterm rally 22/23 years since 1930 averaging 32 percent from midterm year low.

GDP baffles me, fair. But A million full time jobs lost?? 4.6 handle, 4.7 modeled for December…. Job market is overtly weak.

The market has already gone through a meaningful correction. Many individual stocks are down 40–60% from their highs, which is exactly where contrarian opportunities usually begin, not where you press the short side. Using index levels alone to argue for contrarian bearishness is misleading — indices mask the damage beneath the surface. Breadth has already reset, sentiment in many sectors is cautious, and excess optimism has been flushed out at the stock level. Being contrarian works best against extreme sentiment, not against prices that have already corrected. Leaning short after large drawdowns is a timing error, not contrarianism.

Market is going crazy sugar high and leading to a cliff. The dollar is on down slide which is affirmed by increase in Gold and Silver prices. Contrarian sentiment is the best bet under given circumstances.

“ If everyone is expecting the same thing, then by definition, it’s already priced into the market.” I like this concept but I’m always too early to call it so I miss out on the gains. Then, when I finally jump in, things fall.

Since the P/E is already high, could it be that the market earns just lower the P/E and the markets remain relatively flat, although, there will be winners and losers?

Losing my crypto felt like losing my future. I couldn’t sleep, I felt ashamed, and I honestly believed everything I worked so hard for was gone forever. In complete desperation, I reached out to Cyber Cryptocurrency Trace as my last hope. From the very first message, they showed patience, understanding, and professionalism. They listened to my situation, explained the tracing process clearly, and reassured me when fear and doubt took over. After days filled with anxiety and uncertainty, I finally received the news I had been praying for — my lost crypto was successfully recovered. The relief I felt is something I can’t fully put into words. Cyber Cryptocurrency Trace didn’t just help recover my funds; they helped me regain peace of mind during one of the most stressful moments of my life. I will always be grateful for their support and dedication.
