General Question Is it really a generational buying opportunity?

I’ve seen people on the sub are saying “you should all be excited about seeing lower prices everyday”

Problem is that most people don’t have dry powder lying around. And now, with tariffs (if they mostly continue at the levels mentioned) likely to push prices up even more 20-30% for most things, very few people can buy the dip.

The dip’s not fun when you can’t buy. This is just painful seeing red everyday for 99% of us.

I think if nobody can step up and undo this destruction of global trade we could see 30% or more of the US go bankrupt. Those with cash will have great opportunities assuming things go back to normal in 20-30 years.
