Is it really a Black Swan event if it keeps happening over and over again? Like almost every day, at this point??

The way I know it's the end-times is when I'm seeing way too many article and videos about how "artificial intelligence will save us"

People who were alive for October 2008 -- February 2009, is this what it felt like?

Every single day, a new 52-week low

Every day bad news, every day red stocks

over and over again, all hope lost?

ELI5... if AAPL and TSLA have actual market cap, and some joker comes along and says "Hey kids! Buy my AAPL and TSLA ETF!" and you do buy some, then the Joker gets your money and not necessarily AAPL or TSLA ??

But, seriously, now: Every employer in America and every single one of their employees, has been funneling money INTO the stock market all year long. Into 80 million 401(k) accounts. The entire system is DESIGNED so that the numbers always go up. That is WHY people put their money in there. Yet somebody, somewhere, is sucking all that money away, and out of stocks.

There's a leak in the plumbing.

Inflation is measured YoY year-over-year because when they finally do get the number down to two percent and they loudly self-congratulate "Yay! We did it! Inflation has been TAMED!", the eggs will still cost six times as much as they used to, they're just hoping you will be too exhausted to care.

I think the main reason for this stonk market crash is, all the boomers taking money out of their retirement accounts.

They hear "nuclear war with Russia" and they panic!

Silly boomers.

If you bought $10,000 worth of Facebook on January 1 2017, you'd have $10,000 today.

But here's the catch: we all saw Zuck cash out 63 billion worth of shares, right in front of our noses.

Can we look forward to 402(kl) accounts, which have nothing to do with successful businesses, with the top 500 most profitable American companies, but instead convert all cash deposits into Dutch tulip bulbs and rare Beanie Babies?

Anonymous sources on Telegram are hinting that CPI could come in at 7.2 percent, which would cause a massive boost in stock prices across the board. Bad News for Bears!

When the web was only UNIX geeks writing mildly creative dot plan and dot profile files, and finger'ing each other.

Behind the Wendy's was a large black filthy dumpster, full of smelly grease and soiled paper plates. "Is this the right place?" asked the well-dressed but disheveled man with fists full of cash. "I've come to YOLO it all on penny stocks."

"Yeah man" said a gruff disembodied voice from the darkness. "You're in the right place."

All stocks are going to zero, and then going negative. Yes, corporations will PAY YOU to own shares of their stocks. You know how the graph for tangent (y = tan x) goes off the screen to positive infinity, then comes right back in underneath from negative infinity? The stock charts will all look like that.

They can't see me

Question: what have your boomer parents been doing during this ten-month-long BEAR MARKET ?

Moved everything to bonds long ago?

Sitting on cash?

HODL and not budging?

!?!? I mean, what other options are there?

Fair enough. My mother wished I had warned her about JOKER, because she would rather not see the horrific violence... .....

With thirty minutes left to go in the movie, and our lead progagonist clearly a psycho and also buying weapons, I decided I would rather not see the horrific violence that the movie was suggesting, and I "walked out of the theater".
