Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
Bets on if this is really the start of the bubble pop vs just a hiccup? I'm not gonna pretend to have anything other than vibes backing my bet and my bet is 
Oh no the market hasn't been this low since 3 weeks ago!
Hexbears please do not entangle your emotional satisfaction with The Line. There is nothing to be gained besides blue balls waiting for the bubble to pop
The market will remain solvent longer than you can hold your nut
Buy the dip! 
I'm on team nothing ever happens (for now)
The AI bubble is indicative of larger systemic issues but it’s not a large systemic issue in and of itself.
Extremely valid position tbh
A pyramid scheme market like this is going to fluctuate wildly up and down, more and more as it goes on, when they have no actual value to give to people, the values are all 100% made up and are purely vibe based. The crash might not even have the line go down, it might just stabilise and not increase anymore, which is much worse for investing than yoyo-ing. People will want to invest low and sell high, they never want to invest mid and sell mid.

That is basically what I'm expecting, maybe the line goes up slowly at best. The US markets have had "lost decades" before where equities saw no price appreciation. I suspect that will be the case, at least with much of the tech sector, as markets digest the larger discussion around credit risk
Yeah, when their entire ponzi scheme hinges on exponential infinite growth, no growth, or even slow growth will be enough to collapse the whole house of cards.
I don't think so, but we will see.
call me when they get -10 in a day
The stock market was a fucking mistake.
Jeopardy question: to keep post titles informative what is....?

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.
Let's all make accounts on Kalshi and gets some bets going, you all in or nothing ever happens?
The nothing ever happens team has had some truly impressive performances the last decade but I feel like something MUST happen soon... The vibes told me so 
You ever seen a bubble just slowly dissolve until there's nothing? It's been doing that for a few years now
