There have been several micro-crashes. There was one last autumn in the crypto space.

Hopefully regular people are given enough time when the bubble pops to maneuver, but there's no guarantee. I'm just assuming there will be a coordinated effort among the Epstein Class when the crash becomes inevitable and they'll exploit it while most retail investors lose everything.

Haha. No.

Who do you think is supposed to pay for this mess?

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I know. It'll almost certainly be a quick, real-time crash that the Signal chatters in Washington had advanced warning about, and retail investors will listen to Jim Cramer telling them to keep investing and lose their hats in the process.

Many people who aren't retail investors won't even have a choice anyway. Their 401(k) will be tied up in speculative funds they don't control. People's retirements will shield the rich, all part of the plan
