"This is Trump's America now."

My bar is incredibly low. Remember trump was a shit president. It’s not like bringing back a great coach. It’s just that he follows the worst president in history. Don’t do things that lead to a 40 year inflation spike. Don’t open the border and let god knows who in. And don’t support criminals. That’s not asking much. Do no harm. And if you can do one helpful thing that’d be great. Eliminate pre-existing exclusions like Obama. Trim some debt. Trim the fed gov. Whatever. But don’t make shit worse with your acts

Very pragmatic approach. Agree the bar is very low. And it seems to just get progressively lower.

You first.
At first the market was excited about deregulation and tax cuts. But now people are starting to come to grips about the unpredictability of tariffs, interest rates, the various Republican factions. Probably more than anything the markets hate unpredictability.

Even with the recent pull back, it has been a great year for stocks. Portfolios for all of you should be way ahead.

Stock market is about the future. Immediately following the election it’s likely that many Trump supporters invested and caused a bump. Since then it’s fallen back to where it was or a little below. I think the idea of across the board tariffs, especially on Canada and Mexico, and the fear of future uncertainty is factoring in and causing the dip to continue.

I sold a chunk during the bump and waiting to reinvest it while we’re still in a dip. We’re not quite there yet. I don’t believe across the board tariffs will happen. The people he’s nominated for key economic joins like Treasury aren’t bad. I suspect the market will start to rise about February when it’s certain that Trump isn’t going to go crazy with tariffs, create inflation and harm the economy. I’ll reinvest when the conditions are right - February, most likely, or thereabouts.

Too many big words for your target.

I think the market is taking a breather for a few weeks (it’s been on a good run) before it goes higher the first half of 25. The only headwinds I can see is a recession (unlikely in 25) and inflation. However, a lot of people I follow aren’t nervous about inflation. Tariffs have been drastically overblown and will have little impact in my opinion.

The stock market is about sentiment, including today. The future for some is later today or tomorrow & for others is longer term. Presidents can affect sentiment, but so can other things. I was just responding in kind to Bulky’s trolling.

Dbm I had a good little moment. You can see the station from my office window. So my minion is constantly I want to ride the train. So we’ll ride a few stops during biz crowd hours.

Anyway my ex stoker and her new hubby got some crazy polar express special treatment deal that was $500 plus. I asked how it was and she goes awful. He ruined it. I said why. And she goes just as we were taking off on this adorable polar express with Santa and all these people in costumes the filthy disgusting metrolink pulled up and he started screaming THAT’S MY TRAIN!!! GET ME OFF!!!! I RIDE MY TRAIN!!!!! 🥰🥰

A good moment
