Out now the third and final installment of my essay on late futurism for Hotpot. Among the topics covered: the parable of the idea of “radical imagination” (via Max Haiven), the politicization of William Morris, Federico Campagna's prophetic culture. The ultimate message: be wary of the hallucinations of the professional-visionary class, whose ranks seem to unceasingly multiply.

Dow futures tumble as the massive market sell-off continues

cnn.com/2025/04/06/business/st

US stock futures plunged Sunday evening after two sessions of sell-offsthat wiped away over $5.4 trillion in market value. Stocks were set to open sharply lower Monday, putting the S&P 500 on the precipice of a bear market — a decline of 20% from its peak and an ominous sign for investors and perhaps the broader economy.

#StockMarket

The pain isn't over yet. Current #Futures prices predict the markets will drop another 5% tomorrow. 😲

Got filled on 2 orders at the close today just below the 52 wk low for the #SP500. Put 2 more orders in at about 2.4% below that but cancelled those orders after I saw the future prices.

Will reassess tomorrow morning after the market opens but it it drops another 5% tomorrow the SP500, it will be down about 15% from its high less than 2 months ago. 🤦‍♂️

The #CNN #FearIndex is at 8 out of 100, which indicates "extreme fear" & is the lowest it's been for over 2 years.

Looks like the stock market is going to open lower again today. The #SP500 #Futures are now down about 0.9% at the moment which means 2 limit orders that I have in on #SPYI will probably get filled immediately, which is ok because I'm averaging down & expect the markets to go even lower in the near term.

The current near term forecast is for the SP500 to drop another 5% in the next 3 months down to around 5300 & to end the year no better than around 5700-5900 which is a gain of only 2-6% from its current level at 5580.
