This is the beginning of the Great Depression

[Marthe48]

I know I'm depressed as hell.

[Walleye]

1. I'm having a tough time

[Marthe48]

2. I understand

No one I know is recovering from this horror

[Kablooie]

3. This could be the end of civilization.

Trump will have control of the nuclear codes and no generals to talk him out of using them.
So go ahead. Be depressed. It's a great time for it.

4. If anyone it would be Putin to use it, with impunity

knowing drumpf wouldn't do shit about it.

5. Americans need to have a serious look at their financial

... situation. The bond yield has been inverted for the last 6 months or so. Historically this augers a recession that begins 3 to 12 months later. With The Felon's idiotic economic ideas, shit could get real bad by the end of 2025. Tighten up, put some money into safe investments and keep an eye on the situation.

6. Recessions/depressions in the US most often start the year of OR the year after a presidential election.

Here are examples.

1837, 1857, 1873, 1908, 1929, 1937, 1953, 1960, 1969, 1973, 1981, 2001, 2008, 2020…

2025?

Probably.

BTW, the yield curve inversion on Treasuries has been nearly two years…even longer than the inversion before the 1929 crash.

7. I was thinking more of the emotional nosedive

But thanks for the information

[Marthe48]

8. Thanks for the ideas

I was thinking more of the emotions.

I am trying to work on moving my assets, but so far, I'm thinking out of the bank and under the mattress :/

9. Depressions can be mental and economic at the same time.

I’m sure the 1930’s fit that scenario.

Be kind to yourself.
