A lot of people in Trump's orbit are making a killing with all this volatility.
People are saying it's one of the best, most beautiful reverse pump and dumps ever!
A lot of people in Trump's orbit are making a killing with all this volatility.
i've been on the phone with my son in pakistan.Just look at the market.
So it is clear that Trump and Musk created the tariffs when they were cash-rich, bought all the stock they wanted, and now have released the tariffs. With that, I submit the evidence below, the same amount of evidence that was submitted to back up "malicious compliance."
Who needs evidence? You need to disprove it.
There, with that proof submitted, I'll admit I don't believe it. But that's why starting with a world view, in this case, "Trump is greedy and/or crooked" and then making every single event fit into it is bad. Trump is greedy, quite probably crooked, but that conspiracy still lacks a shred of proof. Let's apply that to all these conspiracies, not just the ones I make up.

1 or 2 weeks we will see deals with Vietnam, South Korea, JapanNo, China will export fewer goods to the U.S. The U.S. needs to either make more goods or get them from countries we trust more.
We're literally are fighting a proxy war with Russia who is backed by China. And then we have a monetary system that continues to strengthen China, which requires us to enlarge our military (take on more debt) in order to fight China. It's a really stupid system.
He absolutely did not. China has always been the target. I've said on this board for years that China is the real threat to US security and to the world while you crazies keep harping about Russia which is a nothing burger. It's always been about reigning in China. Why do you think he wants the Panama Canal and Greenland?

These guys. Like Trump saying all these countries call him "sir" when they call. He must have worked sir in 3 times. I get embarrassed watching him talk. The guys in his administration this time around have zero balls.
But it worked out….even if Bessent was bullshittingThese guys. Like Trump saying all these countries call him "sir" when they call. He must have worked sir in 3 times. I get embarrassed watching him talk. The guys in his administration this time around have zero balls.
Trump is operating in an echo chamber.
But it worked out….even if Bessent was bullshitting
What worked out?But it worked out….even if Bessent was bullshitting
And are we sure that hammering China has no downside? I mean, I’m sure they thought all that through and all. But I ask the question anyway.What worked out?
We don't know that it worked out. Do you really trust Trump won't change his mind? There is still China to deal with. And the eroded trust with the US does not just go awayBut it worked out….even if Bessent was bullshitting
They need a narrative now since they realize the market is not going to crash as many of them had hoped. The lefty media was banking on the market crashing and they probably got many lefties to sell with their panic and fear. It has always been about China but let them pound their chests and think he caved they need something to cling too in all of this. It will be interesting to see what they pivot to now. Russian collusion maybe again?He absolutely did not. China has always been the target.

I’m going to get as much product across the border in the next 90 days as humanly possibleWe don't know that it worked out. Do you really trust Trump won't change his mind? There is still China to deal with. And the eroded trust with the US does not just go away
Having said all that, unlike Bailey I will be transparent in my trades. Against my better judgement I'm buying back in today for that portion of my portfolio I moved back in late February..
I was up $217,597 coming into today and buying back into my funds at a higher price at end of close will eat into that. Should have locked in gains in the 133k-140k range. Not bad in just shy of 1.5 months when all that was involved was a few clicks of the mouse.
I'm sure the Trump inner circle made out FAR better.
What bad position? China can cancel their tariff increase too.

In the whole scheme of things…I don’t know much
But I know that statement is false
China has a problem with dollar reserves, energy, food….What bad position? China can cancel their tariff increase too.
OK, but how did that change if Trump postponed the tariffs?China has a problem with dollar reserves, energy, food….
Bailey has no trades. He’s obviously a paycheck to paycheck guy.We don't know that it worked out. Do you really trust Trump won't change his mind? There is still China to deal with. And the eroded trust with the US does not just go away

He postponed the tariffs on China?OK, but how did that change if Trump postponed the tariffs?
Which would be good for China, right?He postponed the tariffs on China?
The text response I just got from a friend is that by tariffing everyone else, they came rushing to negotiate a deal ahead of China and China did not come to the table so now they’ll be left out.So the new narrative is we made a brilliant play by putting tariffs on almost everyone to teach China a lesson, and now we have cut it on everyone except China. So, how does this work? What did that solve that just putting tariffs only on China would not have solved? Seriously, what is the 360 dimension chess here? How did this outmaneuver China?
Trump just implemented 10% tariffs on the entire world and 125% on China and the market popped 10%. He shifted the entire Overton window. The starting point for negotiations are now 10% tariffs and don't f#ck with China. All it cost him was a 7% drop in markets, which can quickly rebound as positive news comes in.What worked out?
I don’t see anywhere that they postponed tariffs on China….where are you seeing this?Which would be good for China, right?
I’m trying to understand what bad position Trump goaded China into by threatening tariffs and then postponing them.
He absolutely did not. China has always been the target.

Lol. OK, that answers my question. 👍 I see now that he paused tariffs only on countries that didn’t slap back. China is getting hit harder than ever evidently.I don’t see anywhere that they postponed tariffs on China….where are you seeing this?

No recession is now bullish. Shift focus to tax cuts, which is bullish. Every single trade agreement that is below 10% is now bullish for markets. If the goal was to ostracize China and Russia, from the rest of the world, he did a pretty good job. Now, the question will stop being a blow hard to our allies and strike deals.
