    I believe that would be MarketAxess (MKTX) which largely deals in bonds AFAIK. Given that bonds are the traditional safe haven asset when traders see the market shitting the bed, them doing well isn't necessarily the best sign for overall market health...

    Maybe this is it?

    Like I bought into my current house mortgage at $500k. Now I've seen a few houses down the road finish building... Mid city in Kenmore WA, for 2.4million. Okay great! I can barely afford my place, how can anyone dream of getting into a 2.4 million dollar house if they're not the CEO of something or another? My neighborhood has a mechanic, a teacher, a juice maker, a nurse. Like that's the people here and they don't have 2.4million. Their kid's kid's might one day buy a school book for 2.4 million and look at how cheap houses were today. But not us, now.

    So is this it? Does the market caput and the government just pays off all our loans in a big reset moment? Then everyone starts selling their house back to reasonable money like 200k or 300k?

    Yep. It's giving some flashbacks to 2008 financial crisis. It'll take some time, maybe years, before everything recovers. And that's if Trump isn't doing his best to make it worse.

    This 2025 stock market crash is the new great leap forward for the U.S., but this time Americans are still well fed.

    So it sort of opened to a +3% roughly this morning. Is that just a dead cat bounce as people try and catch the falling knife?

    To be fair: companies should not focus on maximizing their stock value or work for some investors. They should focus on delivering the best product for the best price. For quite some time, especially in the US, the product of the most companis were just their shares. The best one just made the most money for it's investors. Trump finally fixes that. Also he really does some for the small people: Stocks are not a way to got rich, but a way to stay riwh - if the stock market outperforms the economic growth rich people get even more rich, poor people get more poor! Only rich people have money to spare to invest

    I'm sorry trump fixed what? There is 0 incentive for any company at all to make a better product. There's no money in making good products. If you can only sell something once you go out of business. Look up that pan company that made some of the best pots and pans but then had to file for bankruptcy. Second of all stocks are the ONLY thing that matters in our current version of capitalism. Making money for the investors is the sole goal for corporations. If the incentive isn't to make a good product, but to monopolize the market so there's no one that can make a product better than yours then the end goal is to own the law that will can prevent you from owning everything. Which is where trump comes in, dismantling laws and regulations that hold corporations accountable. Not only is Trump not fixing anything, he's actively the guy inside politics changing the rules to benifit corporations and stocks. And the fact that he's failing this hard is comical.
