Let us indulge in comparisons, as Krüger so graciously does. Recall, dear reader, the grand crash of August 2024—when Japan hiked rates without warning, jobs vanished quicker than pelmeni at midnight, and the terrified multitudes all dashed for the exit like Moscow’s theatre crowd hearing ‘fire!’ A different cause this time, but, oh, the mechanics of panic! Identical, like twins swapping hats. Yet, Krüger reassures us—by next Monday, surely, the market shall discover a “local bottom.” (Where? Has anyone checked under the divan?) He’s positioned long before America’s opening bell, showing either immense confidence or the same optimism as a bureaucrat who believes paperwork can bring happiness.
