90 day pause in tariffs
- Thread starter twenty02
- Start date
I hope you did not sell out in panic. This was always about China. Trump has been talking about China ripping us off for 15 years now. I am sure liberals who look at it like some big win though. I guess you liberals can now go back to no caring about the stock market again and move onto some other thing to hate trump for.
Sadly, I think this means we just stretch out the craziness over a much longer time. But maybe they will sign some worthless deals with countries in 90 days, you know, agreeing to some formula with Greek letters that adds up to 0 and say the foreign nation agrees to increase American goods by that percent. Then we declare victory.
You really have no self awareness. I hate to think how people in your life laugh behind your back. You related to Van Pastor?
Art of the deal son. Art of the deal son.
Clarkson’s farm release date 5/23
The bond market forced them to cave. I suspect they have created so much invisible damage underneath the surface that unless there are trade deals within the next month we are still heading towards a depression .
How about a 90 month pause?
The leftist media cannot be happy today . They were all in on trying to create maximum fear and to crash the market. They must be very sad.
You're determined to show just how much of a dumbass you can be.
By the markets reaction over the last several days, I’m starting to get the feeling it doesn’t dig these tariffs.

I have no idea about leftist media, this "leftist" is thrilled.
With the thread about a potential war with Iran, I have a new fear. The way we aimed the tariffs in the trade war I suspect we will start our war against Iran by bombing 180 countries, some unoccupied islands, and Antarctica. But not actually Iran.
I think we're up to 16D chess, now.
and people wonder why they waited for trump to leave office to get the wars cookin
I think that's the most likely scenario. Some half-hearted, thrown together 'deals' and MAGA will declare victory and say this was the plan all along.
Everyone seems pretty happy that Trump caved.
Really? No tariffs on China which has been the target all along?
My guess is that it's a permanent "pause." They'll talk about having 'negotiated' with some of the countries and declare victory and claim it was all apart of the master plan. Nothing really will change in terms of trade, but at least they avoided the disaster they created.
LOL The market still crashed and has nowhere near recovered the losses caused by Trump - and the markets won't any time soon. I will be shocked if the Dow stays above 40,000 at the end of today's trading.
Severe harm has already been done. And Trump and his cronies are utterly clueless.
With luck we'll get enough of a rebound that I can rebalance some of my retirement holdings, which were still far too heavy in US equities. Not drawing on them yet as the wife is still working, but I'd feel a lot better if I had a chance to create some less-volatile buckets.
Yep. No one is upset that Trump caved here. I'm not even sure why he'd suggest that.
I am in pretty much the same boat. I need it to rise just a bit more, then I will feel comfortable moving about 10 months to a safer location. That will give me 2 years in a safe harbor while the rest stays in equities, and I'll retire this summer. I no longer trust having a year long security blanket.
Trump thinks penguins are nasty. Way too much poop. If we can't tariff them, bomb them!
Yeah, my wife will work another year, likely. And I already had about two years in cash equivalents. After the last week that doesn't seem like enough...
Tim Walz and many other lefties cannot be happy right now.

This is called brilliance something this board knows nothing about.
1. Start fire
2. Fan the flames for a bit
3. Get fire extinguisher and put out fire
4. Claim victory for stopping fire
Need to look at a liability matching portfolio construction.
For retirement (or near) need at minimum 5 years of basic expenses in some sort of bond ladder. Using TIPS or something similar. Some more conservative investors will build out a 10 year ladder.
Only money in excess of meeting basic expenses across that timeframe.... Or for money beyond that 5/10 year runway.... should be in equities
