Market futures already opened 5% down again

https://www.investing.com/indices/indices-futures

can potentially be the first time in history the market has closed -5% in back to back to back days (the only time it has closed 5% back to back was april 3 and 4, 2025 lol)

ex better not be class switching #tryhard

i exited about 75% of my position after today though. i didnt expect the drop to be this fast so now i’m slightly worried. i was able to 5x my initial investment and im letting the rest ride for now

today was a rollercoaster

IMO South America is seeing a resurgence, the return of a league operator, FBTF, lead to an exciting season of 6s in recent history with the return of players like powah, frz, etc.

yea, best move atm is probably to move from money market to bonds atm. but for the next few weeks, i’ll wait on making that move. i’m going to wait and see just how much the market dips further at the moment because i’m looking to see just how far we’re going to drill. i’m also starting to ramp up my contributions to my 403b & 457b in preparation of the following months. looking at the buy orders today was all retail. didn’t see any institutional buying.

tomorrow’s unemployment report won’t fully capture the true extent of the tariffs/short term economic impact that is yet to come, so i’m expecting much more red and am loading up on powder and hedging with long term puts to maximize profits

the tariffs seem to be calculated based on trade deficit--which makes it even more appalling as it doesn't really consider the buying power of countries that were listed like cambodia/vietnam. the market still has yet to factor in retaliatory tariffs from what seems to be a united front between japan/south korea/japan (wow who would have thought those three countries would get together). then you still have the rest of the world announcing preparation of retaliatory tariffs unless the ones in place are rescinded. hate to be a doom and gloom guy but with small cap now entering a bear market i can see SPY/DOW going down a lot more than today

did anyone trade in anticipation of today? i bought mine a bit too early prior to market close yesterday, but i had $10k worth of 1DTE $QQQ puts. made it out with a good amount of profit

probably going to move my investment into long puts on $TSLQ or $SPY in anticipation of retaliatory tariffs

i also moved my retirement into money market--albeit a bit too late but just in time prior to today
