The status quo ain’t no Adam Smith.
I smell opportunity....time to buy equities.
Well, when the entire US government was run on tariffs, that was when we expanded the most.
I guess Donald Trump is right.
Fear drives the market.
Both ways...................
We’ll see how long the well-connected are willing to manipulate the markets downward.
And sometimes those opposed to Trump will do things which hurt Trump and the USA……
The market was / is wildly overinflated.
We were going to eventually hit depression levels of crashing given our unsustainable debt. This was the globalist plan.
People don’t like this truth but Trump is right, we waited so long and allowed it to get so bad that the medicine we need is not going to be pleasant.
What a bunch of whiners they are.
Correct!
Adam Smith has long been wrong.
His writings are a fig leaf for greedy e ecutives in an age of mobike illefal immigrants and wage arbitrage for just the workers but not executives.
Billionaires and Blackrock hardest hit.
I’m interested if anyone has a number on how much investment is paid by loans? Part of the 1929 stock market crash (one year before Smoot-Hawley) was that many investors had taken loans to invest more, and more, and more. Classic FOMO. Margaret Thatcher’s proverb against socialism “...eventually you run out of other people’s money” applies to FOMO style investing as well.
I smell opportunity...
Exactly.
I think much of Trump International’s investments are on loans, IIRC.
I do believe much of the stock market is currently leveraged against itself / supported by borrowed money given how much money was thrown around the last several years.
This is one of many reason why the actual rich and powerful are loosing their collectives minds.
The consumer pays all taxes and the tariffs we are charged other countries are paid by whoever buys the finished product. Corporations collect the taxes from the consumer which is then passed on to the government. We’ve been supporting all the foreign governments this way. America has been running up a massive debt while supporting other countries and these other countries are in danger of financial collapse. Trump is moving to shore up the USA while helping Iran, Russia and China move toward collapse. Just my opinion, feel free to make it yours.
Don’t be a Panican.
The QQQ (Nasdaq 100) is currently right back where it was in August 2024.
The only thing wiped out, so far, is the Trump election rally.
Trump has recently said that tariffs are “beautiful” and “wonderful”. That is all I need to know.
Trump is never wrong.
