Yup, Liberation Day continues to liberate us from our money……

Wall Street Journal:

“Stock plummet as China Trade War sinks in”


Bloomberg:

“Stocks, Bonds slide as Trump’s tariff reprieve proves fleeting”


CNBC:

“Dow drops 1,900 points, S&P 500 loses 5% as stock market gives back half of historic rally”


MAGDA indeed….Making America’s Greatest Depression Appear!

Right on time and ready to pounce as usual I see. Damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t huh elg?

Trump created leverage and this has absolutely nothing to do with him blinking as you say. I’ve been saying all along that he’s using these tariffs as a negotiating tool. Something you have refused to come to grips with.

Three things:

- 75+ countries (who didn’t retaliate) have called and are wanting to come to the table to negotiate. Which was the original intent. Now they are being given a reprieve for 90 days for being good little boys & girls.

- China has now been isolated and will be forced to negotiate due to my first bullet point. Not to mention, their economy isn’t in the best position to enter into a trade war with us at the moment. There’s also grumblings within the Chinese regime that Xi may not have the power he did just a short time ago (I believe I read one of his highest level generals has suddenly gone missing).

- Bond markets overnight (both the 10 yr & 30 yr I believe it was) were showing too much volatility.

Hope you didn’t pull a Chicken Little after screaming the sky is falling, the sky is falling this past week and cashed out. If you did…I’m sorry, but you should have been buying as I mentioned earlier last week.

How’s your 401K/portfolio? Mine is absolutely wonderful Originally Posted by FBSMLUVR
Exactly. These countries coming to the table to negotiate was always the end goal. Mission accomplished.

It looks like it is not just the left that understands that the sky is falling. The WSJ and the National Review also warn about falling sky.

More Trump Lies…What A Surprise!

For those of you that “can’t click on the link”, I’ll break it down for you:
Trump says egg prices are going down.
But guess what: they are going up
Shocker, I know!

Be patient, continue to buy while it’s a down market, and everything will be fine. The stock market always comes back, and most times higher than it was beforehand. Your portfolio will thank me, I promise. I’m gonna go out on a limb here and predict that the market ((The Dow) and the other 2 major indexes of course will follow suit)) will be closer to 50K than it will be to 45K by year end. This isn’t a crash, we’re only back to where we were in May of 2024.

If you truly want to watch the market, pay attention to the 10 yr Treasury Bonds. They are the primary concern that are pushing decisions one way or the other right now. They have a lot to do with our debt that is owned by other countries (interest rates our country pays to borrow money) and mortgage rates (for home purchases), among many other important items regarding our economy.

Wait until these tariff deals with all these other countries are finalized and start being announced. The market is going to go crazy…into the green.

Don’t be a Panican.

One last point. I will no longer click on brasil’s or elg’s links. For whatever reason, when I do, I get logged off here and have to start all over again. I’m starting to take it personal.



Edit/Add: This was in response to brasil’s post #131

Egg prices:

Note the chart showing egg prices over the last 6 months.

Your chart ends in February 2025 before the egg prices came down. Maybe you should pay a little closer attention Pres.
