It's starting to feel like it's late July 2008 and the derivatives market is teetering on the edge...

I kinda agree. If it is a bubble and it's now starting to burst, you think the next round of bailouts will happen before we all get our stim checks?

Y'know, you raise a good point that I hadn't thought of, and is actually a little worrisome. With short term interest rates already basically zero, the Fed balance sheet increasing from $4.2 trillion last year to $7.4 trillion today, and the federal deficit likely well above 10% of GDP, I wonder what policy tools are remaining to really do much in the event of a market crash. Is it possible we could be on our own this time? The only alternative I see would be massively inflationary. Scary ****.

Damn, having no cash to trade as it wasn't yet "settled" cost me on that stonk. I was trying to buy in at .70.

Only because I just made 25% overnight and that transaction won't settle until tomorrow. How much did you make in the market in the last 24 hours?
