Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.
(This list may get expanded as necessary.)
Posts that link to the following sources will be removed
- on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons), archive:is,ph,today (their JS DDoS websites)
- on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
- on Hungary: Euronews
Unless they're the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any "thinktank" type organization, and non-Lemmy social media (incl. Substack). Don't link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com
(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)
Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the admin that applied the rule (check modlog first to find who was it.)

If you're worried about this... I'd say be wary of your situation. Have enough accessible cash for 6 months to a year of okay living. And if it does dip a lot, buy into it with some of that money.
And don't sell. The only time you should sell is when you're approaching the time you need to take everything out, like if you're approavhing a house purchase, old age or such.
And good luck
Oh dang, I only have enough cash for zero months. ...where'd I put those bootstraps...
Breath and talk to myself "No, you will NOT make some highly inappropriate joke about zero money, bootstraps and necks..." breath
Look man... I'm sorry...
I don't know what to tell you. It's terrible being so tight on money. I don't have advice to give on that, because all I did was get lucky to not be working minimum wage...
But I have some semi-informed advice to give about keeping money safe and wanted to share...
Oh, I didn't mean anything by it lol. Soz.

Think of it like this, no money = nothing to lose!
There’s plenty of sources claiming how people like Elon have so much money in loans, when the crash comes the banks will quickly move to recover those debts.
On top of that, all you see are rich people telling others the way to get rich is getting loans upon loans. Well when the crash comes and again, you can no longer repay the loans, it’s going to hit hard! So much money is tied up in pretend money on gains that don’t exist!
Right now having no money is probably safer, my plan is getting out of debt as much as possible, as quick as possible. Hell, if it hits hard enough people might end up going back to trading goods for goods! 😂
Can you imagine if someway all the debts in the world were balanced? That if A owes something to B and B owes something to C and C owes something to A the debt becomes the difference? And this on a world level.
Well, is that the case? Afaik when they loan with a stocks amount as collateral, the X units of stock are the collateral, not the Y value of stock.
They just set aside more collateral value than the loan is worth. Say if you loan 1k the collatelar assigned will probably be 2-3k.
If the stock holding value gets dangerously low, the lender can liquidate your stock I think
But, EVEN THEN, the NET worth of say, Musk, doesn't change too much in that case. Because net worth already has all debts subtracted from it.
It would change in the value equal to the difference between the loan value and the liquidated collateral value I guess, but I don't imagine that would be very large? This part I'm unsure about.
So even in the end I don't think they lose too much...
