With over 2,000 cases now filed with the Court of International Trade, tomorrow is the first significant deadline for the Trump Admin to respond to a plaintiff's motion.

Sure you are.....sure. I cashed out on Friday but even leveraging 80k I was up only 3% for some medical companies.

Name your big increases ...most places were negative for the day yet you're up 22k. Baloney. You would have to have moved 300k plus into a small handful of stocks, so do tell what you magically did. Even Eli Lilly was only up 3.%. that would cover 1/2 your nut increase....what was the rest?

I'm sure that they weren't shorts etc, but tell us all so we know how bad ass a trader you are Originally Posted by eyecu2

Not to brag, but I was up 147% in silver last year. Up 25% so far this year. But very little of the increases are due to tariffs. Some, but not much.

As Gristle would say “ it’s good to be me”!!!!!


BAHAHAHA

Good for you. Off topic, but nice.

Bad day thus far on the DOW

The core PPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, increased a seasonally adjusted 0.8%, more than the 0.6% gain in December and well ahead of the Dow Jones consensus estimate for 0.3%.

On an all-items basis, headline PPI rose 0.5%, also above the forecast for 0.3% and 0.1 percentage point more than the prior month.

For the full year, core wholesale prices accelerated 3.6%, while the headline index posted a 2.9% gain.
That's partially to blame and tied to tariffs

Pretending in the land of make believe is fun for MAGAs.

I've done lots of shorts, straddles, calls and long holds on probably 50 positions last year, and actively made easily 6 figures over the last year. So if your long on all your buys ala Warren Buffett and don't name names. It's just more baloney from the hooker board forum.

He's right to point to Tariffman's trade policy as chaos. That's exactly what his tariff tantrums injected into the markets


That said my 401k is up $73k since Feb 1. Goddamn good to be me.

A federal appeals court on Monday declined to delay implementation of the Supreme Court ruling that invalidated most of President Trump's tariffs, allowing next steps in processing of tariff refunds to begin swiftly, following the high court's decision last month.

The decision from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit clears the way for the lower court, the U.S. Court of International Trade, to begin the process of crafting relief for the small businesses that successfully challenged Mr. Trump's global tariffs.

Not unexpected. The administration made numerous statements in public and court about its ability to pay refunds before the ruling.

The courts aren't letting Tariffman weasel out of it now
