Like you, I've started to suspect the top will never be in when that paycheck hits my 401K.

Correct. The top is always the day after you put money in.

Can I make a special request that the top still be in through tomorrow and Friday? I have some money going into the market on those days.

Thanks!

I think the theory is that now the Fed might not have to tighten as much as previously expected.

You obviously missed the fact that Thorstach loudly proclaimed that the TOP IS IN!!!

I think that Diane Swonk, Chief Economist at Grant-Thornton, had some interesting comments here. Basically, housing, consumer spending, and business investment is still strong. So it is hard to say too many bad things about the economy.

That is mirrored here:
"The negative GDP number is a surprise, but not a material one," Moody's Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi told CNN in an email. "The economy continues to grow strongly and at a pace that continues to bring down unemployment."
...
"This is noise; not signal," Pantheon Macroeconomics chief economist Ian Shepherdson wrote in a report. "The economy is not falling into recession."
...
"Although GDP fell in the first quarter, the US economy is not in recession. Underlying demand remains strong, and the labor market is in excellent shape," PNC chief economist Gus Faucher wrote in a report. "Growth will resume in the second quarter."
- CNN: The US economy contracted. Don't panic

Fingers crossed that your money goes in at the end of the day on Friday?  Now that Amazon has posted disappointing revenue growth (by shrinking), there should be a nice dip to finish off a hair-raising roller coaster week...

Quote
Shares of Amazon (AMZN) dropped after the company revealed a revenue forecast that missed analyst estimates as consumers curb online spending in the face of economic uncertainty and a return to in-person activities. The company also reported a loss on its investment in electric-vehicle maker Rivian Automotive.
Revenue: $116.4 billion vs. $116.43 billion expected
Earnings per share: $7.56 per share vs. $8.40 per share expected

My 401(k) purchase does happen tomorrow, but I'm not stressing about it. The "God damn it" was just for lols.

The market's been whipsawing all year. I wouldn't be surprised if the market went down again tomorrow or went up another 2%. I don't need that money for several more years and I'm prepared for things to be crazy in the short term.

I like it. I could potentially get fractions more of a share. Every little bit counts.

Best discount of the year so far. The Google machine says the S&P 500 is down 13.8% year to date.

Worst discount of the year remaining. The S&P 500 has 100% left to fall.

Figured this thread would wander it’s way to the bottom, which is weird since the top is still in, even from down here.

The fed raised rates 0.5%, which makes a recession more likely, which makes it more likely the fed will cut rates, which makes stocks more valuable, which means a recession less likely, which makes it more likely the fed will raise rates, which makes a recession more likely .....

Sounds like you are describing some sort of periodic function, so I guess Fourier top is in.

We should expand around that..

Since top is in, we at least know the sign of the first derivative.

I think it's because the QT announcement was a 3 month gradual path to $95B/mo. Clearly the Fed believes the inflation top might be in, so they're acting slowly.

I don't get this panicking over increasing rates. If any business can't survive because it costs 1/2 percent more to borrow money then it doesn't deserve to stay in business anyway!

Unfortunately, the stock market is FULL of companies with low-single-digit ROA's. And people are starting to wonder how they remain profitable when their ROA is less than the interest rates on the loans they're going to have to take in the future.

Low-ROA top was in.
