    1. SHORT SELLERS WILL LOSE LOTS LOTS OF $$$! Investors believe market will keep going down. They SELL & start SHORTING STOCKS, Smart money will SQUEEZE those brainless, get their $$. SQUEEZE THEM LIKE GAMESTOP!

    2. I made my first million investing in stock market as a beginner, now I have time for my kids and other things in life

    3. The terminal rates in US and EU are still well under 4% so stocks don't have to go down as much as people think.

    4. Laughable really, the inflation rate is pushing 9% – their cap was 2% – what do they think moving the interest rate from zero to .5% will do? The real problem is the ECB is holding mountains of junk debt from over indebted countries like Italy, Ireland, Greece etc (the usual culprits) and the ECB risks insolvency if these countries default due to the markets forcing them to pay realistic rates (because the ECB has also been forced to stop buying lots of this junk debt.)

      The reality is they have been effectively funding these countries – which is illegal BTW according to their charter – the ECB made some rambling and vague announcement about ensuring Euro bond rates would not diverge – but strangely never actually provided clear details on how it would do this. That's going to be entertaining.

      The ECB is not like any other central bank, it has no treasury behind it so it effectively prints money by monetising national bonds. In private the Bundesbank must be frothing at the mouth that no one listened to them about the Euro. We were promised son-of-Deutschmark we ended up with the orphan child of the Lira.

    5. Many thinks Crypto investment is only profitable when the market price is going up but from my knowledge and experience I can boldly say to you that investing in crypto is profitable both in bulls and in bears all you need is the right information

    6. What a joke. Europe is going to be the last to come out of this because of their weak a$$ monetary policy. And it's going to wreck their place in the world.

    7. Gold is up $15 so we all know what the Federal Reserve is going to do .I think the market is over bought and once an adult will step into the room I mean Federal reserve chairman Mr. Jerome Powell he is going to ruin the party by raising rates to stop inflation. So before he walks in my trade is selling way out of the money short calls spreads for SPY strike price 398 short calls and 405 long calls expiration date 7/29/22
