PE ratio is high compared to historical norms. Utterly unsurprising that we’re seeing prices fall. The way forward is to improve revenue and profitability.
Meh. My guess is a bunch of libs wetting their pants is a part of this.
Getting the tariffs right will cause some bumps. I’m ok with that.
Up 7.2% over the last 12 months since it became clear Trump would win.
And just wait until DOGE releases the details about the fraud and corruption it is finding.
As Tim Burchett (R-TN) said the other day, before it's over, a lot of people are going to be in handcuffs (including Senators and Congressmen).
“[A] lot of people are going to be in handcuffs (including Senators and Congressmen).” From your lips to God’s ears.
Inflation is coming down and even Jerome Powell is going to feel the pressure to reduce interest rates a couple of times this year. Better times are ahead, I think.
Yep.....I consider this a buying opportunity
One of Trump’s biggest growth areas from his first term IMO is recognizing that markets going up are not always a positive signal and that there is value in taking some lumps there to right the real/main-street economy with reshoring, etc.
This is what Rep. Tim Burchett said, not me.
Getting it right in the long run is the better choice. I'm OK with that too.
“As Tim Burchett (R-TN) said the other day, before it’s over, a lot of people are going to be in handcuffs (including Senators and Congressmen).”
I really doubt that.
I talked to a FedEx employee who went to high school with me. He works at headquarters. He didn’t seem very optimistic when I asked how the company was doing.
Agreed. I apply the “IBIWISI” approach to anything a politician says.
I think the economy is slowing down.
Here is my personal experience in the suburbs of Nashua, NH.
Three restaurants on the main drag west of town have closed in the last few months.
Others that I drive by hardly have any cars in the parking lot.
So, TGI Fridays, Uno, Chipolte are all toast. Meanwhile the higher end restaurants in this area are packed. So, the people who can drop $150-200 on dinner have plenty of cash.
The people maxed out on the credit cards are getting pinched.
I also am shopping to put a new roof on my house. The one on there is 1997 vintage. I called four local companies. Each one got back to me within an hour or two to set up an estimate. They are all hungry for business.
Id rather have this correction come week to week instead of a massive crash.
Corrections are common.
Better to have one in 2025 than 2028.
Markets generally go up over time, regardless of a few dips here and there.
A sure way to boost markets in the short term?
Toss the tariff wars.
Boom!
CNBC is a rat propaganda channel masquerading as a financial network

But remember, after all is said and done there’s a lot more said than done. Politicians are full of talk and empty promises.
