2025 stock market crash

April 2025: Trump threatened insanely high tariffs on China on a Friday, crashing the market right before it closed for the weekend. He withdrew the tariffs and the market recovered rapidly by Wednesday of the following week

October 2025: Trump threatens insanely high tariffs on China on a Friday, crashing the market right before it closes for the weekend...

Am I missing anything? we're a lot deeper into his presidency and his admin seems less willing to retract extreme policies now. Should we expect the market to recover quickly like it did in April or do y'all think it will dip further before recovering over a longer period of time?

Now that it’s a few months out and we’ve gotten to see things develop, I think it would be a helpful exercise to look back on the events surrounding “liberation day.” The Trump administration’s widespread tariff implementation caused a real ripple effect in markets, leading to sell offs by even seasoned investors. The panic found its way to this sub, among many others.

While a minority cautioned steady investment practices, and not to panic, a large majority came here with incredibly bearish opinions, some verging on outright economic apocalypse. We were told it’s time to get out. That this isn’t a typical economic event, or pull back. That Europe, and other emerging markets, would be a better place for one’s money.

Months later, we can definitively say none of that was true. Those who stuck to tried and true investment principles weathered the storm, and many who decided to buy the fear have seen impressive returns. US markets have been surging as of late. New trade deals have created a “news ladder,” resulting in many bullish days as we see positive news developments on trade. All this should serve as a cautionary tale about the dangers of group think, and the lack of diverse opinions on these Reddit subs. Too many people allow their biases, mob mentality, and political sentiments to dictate important investing behavior. Pls use the memory of this event to listen to others you might disagree with and insulate your investment strategy going forward. Don’t allow fear, group think, and market events to derail tried and true investment methods.
