Guess what? So, this thing is also hanging out on Substack—casual, right?
Oh man, thanks a lot, Trump. April 2025 could be that historic moment where the first Prez-made bear market of our century happened. If you’re like me, a market war veteran, you remember those past bear market battles. Dotcom bust? Yeah, almost three grueling years. Then March 2020 hit with pandemic panic—29% nosedive in a single month, yikes! Fast forward to 2022, where things just kinda dragged on; a slow-motion car crash, nine long months of market blues.
And then, who could forget the beast of them all—Global Financial Crisis, aka GFC. It was like, a terrifying roller coaster that plunged 55% over 17 months from ’07 to ’09. Scary? That’s putting it mildly. Felt like we were on the brink of, I dunno, the Second Great Depression or something. Hard to wrap your head around it even now—but hey, we got lucky and dodged that bullet. Fortune smiled, Lady Luck winked, and here we are, still standing.
