Something Strange is Happening In The Stock Market...

Yesterday, the japanese stock market along with many others around the world, had some of the worst days in their history.

Some markets dropped by double digits, investors were scared, and it seemed like the global economy could be on the brink of collapse.

And then. This happened…

Just 24 hours after the japanese stock market had its worst day since 1987, it had its best day since October of 2008.

But there is something a little strange about both the collapse and bounceback. I mean, this is a pretty unprecedented situation. Having one of the worst and best histoircal trading days back to back is pretty unbelievable.

So lets take a step back. To the wild time of about 24 hours ago. The japanese markets are crumbling allegedly because japan, which has not raised their interest rates in 17 years, raised rates twice over the course of the last 5 months or so.

Investors dont like this, or get scared that rates will go higher, so they sell off a ton of japanese stock, and the japanese market crashes. This panic and fear spreads through the global markets with mass selloffs everywhere.

And when the american stock market opens, stocks initially plunge. Some of the bigger stocks like nvidia, initially dropped by 11% within the first few minutes of trading. However, something strange happened during this exact moment. You see, the popular trading platform, robinhood, along with tons of other trading platforms like td ameritrade, fidelity investments, vanguard, and others, reported mass outages, errors, and halts to their trading capabilities.

Essentially what was happening that morning was many average everyday investors were atleast temporarily not allowed to trade. So, as the minutes and hours went along, average people began to see their investments being wiped out and weren't allowed to trade stocks. And anyone who was invested in a company like nvidia or intel, was able to look at potentially thousands or tens of thousands of their own dollars being wiped out, and was not allowed to do anything about it.

However, you know who wasn’t affected by this trading halt? Every hedge fund, and multi billion dollar investment firm. You see, all of those companies were allowed to cash out, or buy the dip, or do whatever they wanted. But if you were an average person, you had to wait for all of the trading apps to let you trade again.

Now eventually, after most of the heavy losses came in within the first few hours, some of the trading platforms let their customers start trading again. And some cited that this was a third party issue, or a technical bug, rather than a trading halt. Some say that their system never went down, despite mass reporting. And others did say they halted trading for the day due to market volatility.

Regardless, yesterday was a little bit of a conspiracy laden day where large corporations had the freedom to trade and sell off their stock, while the little guy had to sit their and take losses. It is a strange state, but maybe in the end, it did miraculously end up helping out the little guy.

Because well, the markets rebounded with today in some countries. Because as mentioned earlier, japanese markets rebounded by 10% today after taking a 12% dip yesterday.

The taiwanese market saw a 3.5% gain after taking an 8% tumble the day before. The turkish markets are up 2% after taking a 7% fall.

And so, what does this mean, some massive gains after a massive decline. Well. Here are some historical comparisons.

Lets take you back to 2008…the glorious year when everyone lost their jobs, their homes, and their savings, all at the same time. During the week of october 6th to october 10th. The dow jones in the united states lost 18% of its value and had 5 consecutive days of moderate losses. Investors were panicked, and rightfully so. Average people were seeing their entire portfolio lose thousands or tens of thousands of dollars each day.

What do you think Happens Next? More likely 2020 outcome? 2008? Nothing?

[glenndallaire]

It's so wonderful how the trading apps went non-functional when the stock market was crashing. That says it all for what will happen in the near future. The only ones allowed to rush for the exits will be the bigs--not the everyday person who will take the fall.

[angeladeem]

Transfer of wealth usually occur during market crash, so the more stocks drop, the more I buy. Meanwhile I'm just focused on making better investments and earning more as recession fear increases, apparently there are strategies to 3x gains in this present market cos I read of someone that pulled a profit of $350k within 6months, and it would really help if you could make a video covering these strategies.

[TXHillCountry]

The Schwab outage prevented me from selling my short positions at a huge profit. There needs to be a massive class action lawsuit.

Criminal financial activity in broad daylight going completely unpunished!

[ladyreddandonly]

It continues to decline as people stop putting their money in because they cannot get their money out just like banks.

[RusuSilva]

How do i make money from the market crash? i want to redistribute around $200K stocks in my portfolio. what strategy should I use to maximize gains rn.

[SonGoku-qnzt]

I'm so broke I couldn't give a damn

[charlesrobert]

Being non wall street all my life it makes me value good old dirt all the more. It grows anything, always has a market for food, doesn't need to be tied to any financial institution. At 74 I'm doing just fine.

[UncleJimmyOutWest]

Someone told me the stock market fell. I'm so poor I couldn't tell.

[Ininvesting]

What makes this selloff so scary is the fact that we were NOT having some sort of crisis. The Japan carry trade was bad but it's not a crisis, it's a debt problem, which Wall St can fix easily they have more access to capital then anyone else. But the everyday Americans living off credit and home refinancing will come to ahead at some point. Imagine what it will be like when we are experiencing a real domestic crisis.

[quino]

The stock market is about as real as the American economy

[Barr]

When it happens, it will be much worse than 2008, not a mere 10 percent worse. There is now an additional tens of trillions of dollars of printed money to deal with. And there was no inflation back then. 2008 was a walk in the park, compared to what is about to happen, when it happens.

[roslinecatty]

Hallelujah The daily jesus devotional has been a huge part of my transformation, God is good 🙌🏻🙌🏻. I was owing a loan of $49, 000 to the bank for my son's brain surgery, Now I'm no longer in debt after I invested $11, 000 and got my payout of $290, 500 every month…God bless Mrs Susan jane Christy♥️

[Big.Bird.]

It’s all about perspective. If you can’t sell, then buy more. The more you buy at a lower price means the better reward you’ll have when it goes back up. Just takes patience and resilience to read the market.

[JamesDean]

You are right, but it isn't just like 2008. We never got out of inflation or 2020, we are seeing everything tripling in price. It's BOTH and the effect in 2025 is HYPERINFLATION!

[JessicaSmith-xzzo]

I lost over $80k when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that's what everyone said. I'm still responsible. It just taught me to be a better investor now that I understand more of what could go wrong. It took me over two years of being in the market, I'm really grateful I found one source to recover my money, at least $10k profits weekly. Thanks Colleen O'Brien

The rich would have to eat money if it were not for the poor.

[WilsonWilson]

The stock market is just becoming more detached from real life as the days go on. Eventually it’s all going to come down. Businesses on paper are not indicative of how they are currently operating. Look at how hollow jobs have become, this is only going to get worse as this disconnect widens. Until the rich stop stuffing their pockets at the continued expense of the everyday person, this is society’s trajectory. BUT you’re talking about people who have lived GENERATIONS as the top benefactors of a system they gamed for themselves. You lose any and all empathy the longer you spend inside of these systems that insulate you from real world problems because you only see them as numbers on a spreadsheet.
