If there is a market crash coming, what forward planning should we be doing?

Buckle-up! Tech flash crash . . . .

King Kong Nvidia down more than 11% overnight. NASDAQ dive.

Apparently, U.S. investors have never been so bullish and exposed. Unofficial U.S. recession deepening quickly.

Now the rest of the story. Chinese startup Deepseek’s new open source AI model is sending shockwaves through the established companies like Nvidia challenging their dominance. Providing AI advancement at a lower cost.

My banker told me last wk things have slowed down in the lending department. Not sure if the banks are getting tough or farmers are pulling back the reins. Interest rates have dropped so you would think guys would be spending. So much was possibly bought in the last couple yrs, the spending could be over for a while.

There has been a lot of poor crops in areas in the past 3-5 yrs and prices are horrible …. All things considered.

One thing amazes me is the low dollar should be great for prices and exporting, but I don’t see that.
Could you imagine an .80 dollar how bad the numbers would look?

Another interesting yr ahead!

This is an implosion . . . . King Kong Nvidia down 17%, a loss of $630 billion in market cap reported.

They are supposed to be key to supplying power to the AI expansion.

DeepSeek appears to be more energy efficient.

Now that article was scary.

We humans think we are so smart and that things like this are progress but I see it a bit different. We continue to prove we can create things that eventually bite us in the ass and make things worse. With this technology like all inventions there are definitely good aspects but I see it as the dumbing down of humanity. What’s the point of school and being able to think and problem solve if u have something like this do it for u. There are a lot of kids in school that use these apps as a survival tool because they can’t think for themselves. Just imagine 5-10 years from now u are looking for advice from a professional no matter the subject and the so called expert has no clue what the answer is but deepseek does. So what is the point of the expert? It leads to the extermination of jobs period! So then that leads to government welfare. This system is doomed to fail! Watch the show Idiocracy.

What comes around, goes around in the world of global trade.

Tariffs will place the U.S. economy at heightened risk. Joblessness and bankruptcies already swelling. Recession deepening as asset values swoon.

Trump appears to have no concept of these economic risks. A ‘Bull in a China Shop’ mentality doesn’t work in today’s economy. The global playing field has levelled to say-the-least.

U.S. valuations absurd. Global completion intense. Meanwhile, the average North American can’t pay off their credit card bill and at-risk of losing their job.

No rocket science here, what’s going to happen.

The Dotcom collapse of 2000 took U.S. tech a decade to recover. Is this a repeat?

If you can't hold it you simply do not own it.

If it can be done they will do it.
We are the the WEF showcase. Net Zero all the way.
They don't want to lose us now but must have known for some time Trudeau couldn't turn the trick?
Carney has been here writing the playbook for years.
Probably no great secret and why Trump came with the 51 state offer?

This is getting crazy . . . Alibaba apparently has a better AI version than Deepseek.

85% of Greenlanders (poll) do not want to join U.S. France deploying troops to Greenland? Trump / Europe relations appear falling apart.

Trump global tariff blowback incoming.

But grains appear well supported as South America harvest has issues. Live cattle historic highs.

Stock markets, enter at your own risk. Markets a moving target to say-the-least.

The Mexican peso goes up, and the Canadian dollar goes down. The erosion of equity in Canada is catastrophic.

Be sure to send the NDP a Thank you card, as they refused to support 3 nonconfidence votes.
