I predict that the S&P 500 will be well under 5,000 by September 30th

Here is what I literally said:


You may not like it, but I have made money this year. I did not make the huge payday I had wanted, but here is something to think about on that regard: if even one out of five investments that make a ten to one payoff works out, I double my money.

Stop making up shit about yourself, Wally.

You fall for the "everything I do not do must be easy" trap.

Making gasoline is easy.
It is even easier to make penicillin.

You just have no idea how this stuff is made.

All are hard work.

Making gasoline is not hard work. Making penicillin isn't hard work either.

Farming at scale requires a lot more industrial inputs than you seem to realize.

Nope. All you really need is the initiative to do it. I guess you have no clue how to stick a seed in the ground and to grow it into a mature plant. Just sunlight, water, and a bit of fertilizer.

What do you suppose will happen to you when your government check stops arriving?

What government check? I'm not dependent on the government like you are.

Why is a near embargo between the world's two largest trading partners a bad thing?

What embargo??

Because we will have fewer goods.

Domestic production, Wally.

You might argue that is just in the "short term" of a few years, but it still is bad for those years. I do not know why you are having so much trouble with this.

No trouble. Domestic production.

@IBDaMann My prediction of $6,800.00 "on or about October 1st 2025" isn't looking too bad atm. (post #332, dated 07/10/2025)

Yes. It's looking like if this were The Price is Right then my bid will have gone over ... but if having too much faith in my country is wrong, then I don't want to be right.
