90 day pause in tariffs

[BCCHoosier]

I know i was a buyer and have been for a week. I am republican but it had nothing to do with it I know fear in markets and knew it would not last because this was not based on something like 2008. I saw it in 2020 covid panic as well. Steady hands make money and weak hands sell out. This was not going to last and i knew it so I bought while i could. But i do think the left wing media convinced some liberals to sell with the panic narrative.

Tell us a few of your trades.

I wish I was as much of a yes man $2.9 billion in one year ain’t bad. Not in your territory, but pretty good.

“In the year 2023, Institutional Investor reported that Scott Bessent earned a personal $2.9 billion as a hedge fund manager.This figure placed him at the top of the 23rd annual Rich List, a ranking of the highest-earning hedge fund managers.“​

I don't see his name mentioned anywhere in your link. Last I saw he opened a fund in 2015 it's asset base shrunk 90%

I bought too. I think the leftists who bought the media panic narrative sold.

Lol. You guys really think political leanings move the market? That's hilarious

I know i was a buyer and have been for a week now . I am republican but it had nothing to do with it I know fear in markets and knew it would not last because this was not based on something like 2008. I saw it in 2020 covid panic as well and made a ton of money on it. Steady hands make money and weak hands sell out. This was not going to last and i knew it so I bought while i could. But i do think the left wing media convinced some liberals to sell with the panic narrative. I know how to invest and panic is your worst enemy all the time. Its different if the economy has totally collapsed like 2008 but to just sell out based on some tariffs in one week is not smart. You see how quickly it can come back.

Yeah Bailey. You're a genius. A real market mover.

Lol. I'm sorry I haven't laughed so hard in a while.

Unless you're putting in about a $10m minimum buy order nobody gives a flying shit about what you are doing. $100m if you are talking about a big name stock

 

[twenty02]

Euro stocks up 7 %!

Damn you Trumpers have some reach. Buying up all them Euro stocks this morning!

Was it Bailey?

 

[Bulk VanderHuge]

I think context matters. We forget why we have this lunatic. So when we start with the cult shit from Hondo types there’s some selective memory involved as to how we got here and what’s waiting in the wings

I played college soccer believe it or not.

I knew it!!! Explains so much.

 

[Baller23Boogie]

Is Bailey Murt's burner account?

It's all making sense now.

 

[Bulk VanderHuge]

Is Bailey Murt's burner account?

It's all making sense now.

Or vice versa?

 

[Courtsensetwo]

You know why....

I already explained. He is a moron surrounding himself with yes men idiots.

Smoked. Out!!!!

I think that many countries "reaching out to make a deal" are really communicating something like this:

Israel on line 1
Donald, Bibi here. Your calculation of the tariffs that we impose on US goods is not accurate at all. Here are the figures. Since last year the tariff on USA goods coming in to Israel is 0%. Your "retaliatory" 10% tariff is not justified. We agree to keep our rate at 0%, if you lower yours to 0%. Deal?

France on line 2
Hello, Donald. Your calculation of the tariffs that we impose on US goods is not accurate at all. Here are the figures. We have 20% tariffs but only on USA wine and cheese to protect these industries, domestically. The tariff on other USA goods coming in to France is 0%. Your "retaliatory" 10% tariff for everything is therefore not justified. We agree to lower the rate on wine and cheese to 10%, keep our rate for everything else at 0%, if you lower your blanket rate to 5%. Deal?

and so on.

The are calling to inform him that his stupid formula has nothing to do with tariffs, and perhaps also that he is not considering the export of services from the USA.

Epic clown show. President is a complete moron surrounded by yes men.

His negotiating strategy (he has said) is "You have to be willing to walk away from the deal."

Private citizens can do that because, for them, the disruption and wasted effort and expense of walking away from negotiations falls only on the parties who were negotiating.

Not so in the case of governments. Trump's tariff-waffling over the last couple weeks has caused turmoil in the financial and trade markets for the whole world. Think how much effort he caused businesses to expend having to revise their import orders, price lists or delivery schedules, not to mention investors that needed cash now and were not in a position to hold their investments for a few months more until stability returns.

Stock markets go up and down, but I don't see how any investor can forecast random Trump disruption.

There is a reason dems are in trouble its just pure hate driven. The bond sell off was seen by trump it had nothing to do with the stock market. I still cannot believe anyone sold off stocks on the fear though. I mean at least give it a few weeks but no the panic freaked them out like clockwork. I mean the cooler educated mostly white guys better realize the dems need an actual moderate and maybe not a politician to win in 2028. Hate does not win presidential elections only midterms. I would advise them to find a non politician but the dem machine probably wont let it happen look at how they kicked bernie to the curb. They will likely end up with harris again or newsome. Bill Clinton was the smartest dem in a long time but even hilary would not listen to him.

You wrote, "I still cannot believe anyone sold off stocks on the fear though."

That doesn't account for losses from stock sales for reasons other than fear.

You’re filled with hate.

I’m still waiting on the dmbailey Daily Stock Market Report.
Usually, by now, they would have crowed for the gains, told the Libs what they think, then disappeared when the market takes a downturn. Then bailey would have bragged about all the genius buys he made, all without giving any details.
So far, it’s crickets today.

 

[Baller23Boogie]

This is pure gold

You need to calm down a little.

Yes men? Did you even read your link?

Yeah, the bond sell off was a factor and I give Trump (or his advisors) credit for recognizing the issue. The morons are the bond sellers. The stock sellers too.

Moreover, if it is true 70 countries have reached out the tariffs already served a an important purpose.

Shorter COH: Everyone but Trump is a moron.

Chorus: Including you… ?

To paraphrase COH, there is a broken record living rent free in your mind.

No vacancy in their rent-free partition.

You’re just attempting to cover your ass for being wrong for a couple dozen posts defending Trump on this.

Comical, maestro, comical.

Rule 1. Never admit you’re wrong.

 

[sglowrider]

Did Trumps tariffs exercise unintentionally stressed tested the economy and now things are bubbling up?

 

[Spartans9312]

Bessent is a weak ass yes man. That's already obvious. Spent the week a stuttering fool. I've never been less impressed by a Treasury Secretary than this guy. Totally out of his element and looks like shit on TV. So he'll be gone within a year

Musk is Musk and will say whatever he wants. And he's already told you this week what he thinks of the trade people around Trump. I think 'moron' and 'dumber than a stack of bricks' were his descriptions.

He's already dead in this admin

Yellen?

What about all the debt issuance nonsense that Bessent has to clean up?
