According to the world’s most famous investor, the “incredible period” for the U.S. economy has been coming to an end in recent months.

That’s a somewhat surprising statement from a man who has famously been ultra-bullish on the U.S. economy.

But persistently high inflation, higher interest rates and the ongoing banking crisis have all made Buffett much more concerned about investment gains in the year ahead. His partner, Charlie Munger, echoed this sentiment. “Get used to making less,” Munger quipped.

Me, no.

Michael Burry placed a big short on some stocks just recently.

He was the dude that was the first to short housing in 2008.

Was it anything in particular that “told” you to sell?

Hasn’t Buffet traditionally supported Democrats?

Yes.

He never used what influence he had to advocate for fiscal and policy restraint. (At least not that I’m aware of).

Yes, but not with a lot of money. He’s not into giving much dough to candidates.

Yes, he has openly supported Democrats. That’s why his opinion is a valuable flip for conservatives — and a change in Washington leadership.

Glad to hear this from Warren “No Longer All You Can Eat” Buffet.

I had been riding since 92.00

Marriott is oversold IMHO.

Not even close to being an expert.

Avoided that same year 10% hit.

Traded my SVSPX two weeks ago after 19% ride after getting out of cash in Feb 2023. Went to cash in Nov 2021. Missed that downfall of 2022.

Basically kept my balance and made some decent gains.

Nice. Hopefully things keep working out in your favor.

I think the future is a bit shaky at the moment.
To be honest, I expected a crash some time ago...

I am barely staying ahead of inflation.

With CD’s I hope to break even. Trying not to lose.

The market can crush you.
