You gotta admit, it's kinda funny that we over here at /v/Conspiracy have known about the impending market crash for months, but the sheeple are just now walking up to the situation. "Everything is Awesome!" propaganda? Or mass delusional wishful thinking? Perhaps a bit of both.

Well, when you finally pull your head out of the sand, may I recommend some ETFs to help you broadly short the market?

SQQQ, SDS, TWM, DXD, and maybe even VXX

Ah yes, the "business cycle." A term invented by economists to explain away the fact that the Federal Reserve has the power to expand or contract the money supply of the US at its whim. The US is so fucked.

Was it just me, or was this drop not widely reported? I mean, it's a huge drop and even on Voat there was hardly any information.

Friday is always a slow newsday. Anchors want to pre record and get out of the office early. The B team comes in for the weekend and recycles the weeks news. After the DOW gets murdered on Monday morning it will be all over the news. Then the market will rally back before Friday.

This is especially true in August.
