Rand Paul notes stock market loss: 'It pays to listen'
X ^ | March 10 | Sen. Rand Paul

Posted on 03/10/2025 7:38:05 PM PDT by RandFan

@RandPaul

The stock market is comprised of millions of people who are simultaneously trading. The market indexes are a distillation of sentiment. When the markets tumble like this in response to tariffs, it pays to listen.

Let Canada keep their 200%+ tariffs? Let Uncle Sam continue to be Uncle Sucker on trade?

the same market that was propped up during Biden

what can be propped up can be dropped down — by the same manipulators

In the short run tariffs can be rough. In the long run this move will make the country stronger.

So, in the short run traders will move out - in the long run when things bottom out a little - they’ll jump back in.

Also, Rand must truly hate this country and has no understanding of Tariffs long term effects.

First, since Trump started the tariffs over a trillion dollars of investment is coming to the country. 200 billion chip manufacturing plant in AZ that we need to secure our country from external threats. 100s of billions of dollars in new car manufacturing all over the US. Apple investing 500 billion in new plants to make iPhone in America. 500 billion in AI manufacturing for power plants, facilities, and support.

The list goes on, tariffs are bringing in trillions of dollars in investments. No, it does not happen in five weeks. Rand is playing on weak minds.

I just lost $$10k today-Am I worried? In the words of another distinguished American-Hell No! I expect to be in much better shape in 4 years.

In the meantime Trump should tell the French to get the hell outta Polynesia. Throw em’ a bone and call for an independent Quebec-a disturber of the excrement as I am a gentleman of the grape.

Where was Rand when all these corrupt politicians were looting the taxpayers of hundreds of billions? Was he in on the kickbacks? Or was unable to see what was going on right under his nose?

That he is a fiscal hawk, unless his big money donors might have to change their investment strategy? Then it’s status quo, boys.

“The stock market is comprised of millions of people who are simultaneously trading.”

************

Most market activity is driven by institutional investors and computerized trading systems that account for a large portion of trading volume.

Rand needs to stick with what he knows.

Paul is proving he’s too much of coward to make the necessary changes Trump is making to solve of the country’s long term problems.

I’m curious in what mind does an American think it is acceptable that Canada charges us 300% tariff but it is not acceptable that we do it in return.

Rand is losing a lot of credibility imo. He is ranting against tariffs but refuses to discuss the wildly unfair tariffs Canada is imposing on us. To be against only American tariffs and allow another country to do it to us is a traitorous behavior.

He keeps this up and it will show him to be more in favor of Canada and their economy than ours. This is making me begin to wonder what Rand is hiding.

Very true. He says a lot of good things, but he shows he is not presidential material.

Rand needs to shut up.

He’s dead wrong and he’s putting Wall Street ahead of Main Street.

His post was snarky jab at Trump.

I can almost understand why his neighbor beat him up.

Rand is not a finance and economics expert. Sorry

In fact doctors are notorious for screwing up admin and finances. Look at the state of health care and hospitals

Pshaw
