When the floodwaters recede, everyone dies; the difference between a sharp drop and a crash. Nobody cares about good or bad performance; profitable stocks experience even more severe declines.

OAI or Anthropic IPOs trigger short-selling-driven surges. 3. Your retirement account is fully invested in DC bonds. It's estimated that these three things will happen simultaneously at the end of the cycle.
