Tariff Man and his tariff plan cause market plunges

The market finished up. Your post proves nothing.


The U.S. stock market closed higher on Thursday, May 29, 2025, despite a day of volatility triggered by legal developments surrounding former President Donald Trump’s “reciprocal” tariffs. The S&P 500 gained 0.4% to finish at 5,912.17, the Nasdaq Composite advanced 0.39% to 19,175.87, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 117.03 points, or 0.28%, closing at 42,215.73.

TACO is beginning to blunt reactions as folks figure out the game.

But, like a broken clock, you’re right twice a day. Momentarily. The fact of the matter is the markets aren’t tanking. To your chagrin. Mebbe you can post a live stock ticker like Fox Business and alert us to momentary dips.

Anyways……..

Thank you valued poster

I never said they tanked last night, Bam.
You keep trying to misconstrue my words, but that's OK. I use pop and dip for a reason.

TACO helps explain the more muted volatility lately. The world is starting to figure it out.

Like telling Europe he doesn't want a deal and then negotiating himself down to 50% and then pausing again. He doesn't have the time, juice, or the stamina to escalate the way he tried with China before he walked it back

Mr Gristle, like most of your threads, this one hasn’t aged well. The market hasn’t tanked. Prices are going down, not up. Day to day life is just fine. Resetting Global trade is a difficult task, but a noble one.it needed to be done. We’ve been ripped off for decades. Try to curb your pestilence. Things are going to work out just fine. Pour yourself a 3 finger drink, put your feet up on your fancy desk at your fancy office and relax.

I haven't used tanked since May 3rd. And haven't had to because he backed off his more inane plans. You do see that, correct?

There's no full market reset. Only picayune partial progress on the plethora of promises for what these tariffs were supposed to do.

This is why the market hasn't tanked

Meanwhile we remain waiting for all the deals to be announced. So far just postponements.

Trump tariffs get halted by a court and markets pop, then get reinstated and markets dip.

Proof that the world wants less of Tariffman's dumb tariffs and TACO plans

Some markets dipped today, too... as Tariffman started stoking fears about reigniting his trade war with China again

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/29/stoc...-updates-.html

Just like yesterday when some major gains for our markete were wiped out in exchange for some very anemic gains instead.

The legal battle around tariffs offers the latest dose of uncertainty for what was an already uneasy market. Investors have contended with macroeconomic concerns tied to tariffs and worry that the shakeup to U.S. trade policy could cause a recession.

“It’s an awkward time,” said Jay Hatfield, CEO of Infrastructure Capital Management. “If you’re an investor, you want to bet on good earnings, not good tweets about tariffs.”

You see Mr Gristle, ebbs and flows. Just a snapshot in time. No reason to sniff out every wet fart. It’s a fools errand.
