Hedge funds worldwide are investing based on a decline in the US economy under Trump

[g5000]

To be fair, that's precisely what a hedge fund is meant to do ... provide insurance in the UNLIKELY event of the markets going against trend.

It would be bad if hedge funds were betting on a bullish economy.

Hedge funds do short, and they do go long, at the same time. That's what hedging means.

However, they are moving their bets more toward shorts. That's not a good sign.

I'm sure they aren't shorting the entire Dow industrial average. They are probably intelligently analyzing which specific sectors will suffer the most from Trump's idiocies.

Hedge funds worldwide continue investing based on predicting a decline in the US economy under Trump.

This is after watching Trump in the first weeks of his Presidency

The very rich are betting on a down market.

We will see where the economy is in 6 months.

Hedge funds bet billions on market crash in Trump’s America

Economy is already in shambles you guys have been saying how wonderful it is with joe
And how grocery prices are no big deal

We already told you it may get worse and with Trump shaking things up there's a good chance more sustained pain for the working poor and the middle classes

I'd call that 'hedging'. It's what they do.

It must really, really piss you off Elon Musk's green electric cars get billions in subsidies, eh?

And yet there he is. DOGE boi! Hacking away at the competition with The Donald's blessing!

I work for Elon Musk, highest paying job of my life. I got 20k in stock 4 months ago when I hired on which is now worth 32k. This year I should break $200k

I love Musk, he has bought me a dozen dinners, threw our Xmas party at Universal studios, bought the whole park for the night.

I can go on and on with the benefits.

g4999, you are really dumb

So you are totally cool with green energy and green subsidies which pay your salary when it suits you personally.

What a profound hypocrite!

I never mentioned green energy. You are very much of very low intelligence

You said I hate Musk. I said I work for SpaceX.

Inspecting rockets has nothing to do with green energy, moron

 

[elektra]

I like to know where they have invested those ill-gotten gains.

Well, they invest in things like lithium, then pass laws subsidizing lithium.

 

[g5000]

I never mentioned green energy.

And yes, investors are dumping billions in green energy funds. Without government subsidies green energy is a liability, not an asset.

You are positively schizo!

No, you are an idiot asshole. I dont work for Tesla or a green energy company. Yet you claim I do, that makes you an idiot.

I hope it hits the housing market. I need to buy a house to retire in. I'd like nice big lodge on a lake up north.

Are you seriously cheering for this?

 

[elektra]

Everyone can see the crash coming.

The housing market should crash, the government has been propping it up.

I would like a chance to buy a simple home in Los Angeles

 

[Woodznutz]

Are you seriously cheering for this?

Absolutely. We need more family ownership of houses. Not mainly because it is a wealth builder but because it's best for the people and the country.

I hear there are some vacant lots for sale in Pacific Palisades.

The inflation driver on housing is corporate ownership.

They're likely out of reach for most. Fire insurance should be cheaper now that everything in sight has already burned to the ground.

Wrong. Yes, selling short is one strategy of many they use.

Not just the very rich, myself and millions of others as well.

Those "millions of others" have no choice. Their fund managers make that decision.

I and millions of other do not buy funds - but individual shares
