I get the feeling the stock market is gonna be a "slow" bleed over the next few weeks/months of losing hundreds of points because even now I feel like they're trying to cope by thinking this is some 346D negotiation tactic by Trump and the tariffs will come down significantly and that this is not, in fact, him doing exactly what he said he would do.

Heard bits and pieces of an investment call of my mom's (with the firm's guy trying to explain things, it wasn't 1-on-1 but like a call-in thing) and it was almost painful hearing the copium huffing (also think he predicted interest rate cuts from the Fed and then like an hour later the Fed was like 'Uh, because of the tariffs and the threat of stagflation from them no can do") and I suppose it could just be because he "has" to paint a rosy picture so people don't take their money and run but the market in general has been denying reality on this for the longest time. I don't think there'll be a COVID-esque "stock market craters so hard we trip the circuit breakers in three minutes" moment but just a long, slow bleedout as more days pass and the reality sinks in that "yeah this is really happening."
