Stay relevant at work. I'm usually a huge "do your 40 hours and leave" kind of guy, but they will trim the fat during hard times, so if there's any projects, deadliness outcomes, metrics, etc that you've been skirting around, now is the time to get it done.
Save as much as you can right now, and invest if you can. Right now if you're able to save 10% of your income, try to do a little bit more. You're essentially buying things in fire sale right now.
Do not be afraid to lean on others for help. Friends, family, etc. No shame in living with parents if need be. It'd be much better save the money and invest it in cheap housing or stocks.
Keep learning relevant skills. When things start to recover, you'll be able to leverage that education to find a better job/move up the ladder when companies resume spending and hiring.

This is going to be a recession with high inflation not seen since the late 70s. The US was a different economy then - we still had factories, and the govt only had a small fraction of debt. The Fed is going to push interest rates up until shit starts breaking to the point where Wall Street money panics, then they'll stop. When that happens markets will go up again. Timing when that happens is difficult, but I think it will be by Fall. In the meantime, buying the dip is akin to catching a falling knife. Can you grab the handle or blade?

Dude, Google and Amazon don't offer any inflation prof business model.
Google literally only makes money with ads, and the last thing companies will do is trying to advertise products and service online.
Amazon has a huge infrastructure that cost billions to keep running, the smallest drop is sales will cause amazon to go down. And AWS, well, again, during crises, companies will cut expenses, and as a sysadmin, I can guarantee you that IT is the first to get knifed.

My best tip, don’t short when everyone is hyped. Also watch druckenmiller interviews, the man is one of the few big pm’s I trust, very humble, talks about his losses, likes bitcoin and was Soros’ best trader.
His advice is to know when you’re hot and cold, when hot keep pushing, when cold back off. If you love the game don’t burn yourself out.

For 20 years the military ruled the country. They build 90% of our roads, pretty much all hydro power plants, the largest iron ore company in the world, one of the largest petrol company in the world. Then people decided that they wanted to be more like the US, and elected a bunch of liberals in the power.
First thing it did was erase all our laws that protect our economy against cheap imports. In a matter of 3 months, 20% of the people lose their jobs because china at the time, produce anything for a fraction of the value. Then the president decided to sell the largest iron ore company in the world to fucking Soros (not even joking) for 1/3 of the value. First thing he did was drop production until the government agree to reduce taxes in iron ore export to a symbolic value. So the government was forced to raise taxes to make up for loss.
Never trust a liberal...

Feels likely, people keep saying september but I think they might push longer. They need to look fearsome and relentless to establish credibility.

Either way, inflation is the boogeyman, if republicans sweep, psychologically it will be a fresh start. Even if they don’t unwinding of hedges might kick off some green, then the santa rally meme chatter could become real.

I live in Europe and I am unironically contemplating on accumulating a fuckload of electric room heaters throughout this summer to then resell them during the winter when likely a lot of Europeans will struggle with gas/heating, Usually there are not a lot of such electric room heaters on the shelves in stores so I can imagine a supply shock happening when news start scaring everyone about no heating. And it's not like you'll be able to order one from China in a heartbeat, especially if it ends up being a cold winter.

A bit.

If you ever did business with Brazilians, you will notice something. Everyone always pay in the last util day.
One thing I always look to when buying stuff, is trying to get a discount by paying in full. If not, I try the longest possible way to pay without fees, something like 12x without fees. This way I am literally gaining 5% discount (inflation is 10% @ year right now). Meanwhile keep my money in the bank (yeah, I know it's not the best idea) generates 13% after taxes.

>> No.49583430

Keep your job no matter what, remaining employed is your number one priority.

With the job you still have build up savings, if people start getting foreclosed on the bank do not want to be holding onto a bunch of houses and will sell them very soon after taking possesion of them. You can buy land and property for less than it is worth if you hold out for things to improve.
