If my stockbroker had told me this would be "another bigly losing day" I would fire him on the spot. S&P was only...(lol) up a little over 9-1/2%. Geez Louise!

Market Dow was high at a 3,022 point gain but fell to just under the 3,000 gain at 2962 for the bell. What a rally! What a day!

The real winner was Tesla with a 18.5 percent gain in one day.

Yes, it takes a wise investor to stay the course and not keep jumping in and out of the market. Do people realize if everyone stayed the course there wouldn't be any wild fluctuations?

Very true. People panic and sell at the bottom and than go back in at the top.

You do not dig for diamonds with a pickaxe. I would like to know who was told when the pickaxe would be stopped being used. Seems like insider trading.

Let's face it, the market could be up 10,000 points right now and the sidewalk supervisors would grumble about how it got there. There is no winning with certain mindsets.:beer3:

You do if that is the only option to repair the body.

Think about that. Maybe on a battlefield in Ancient Greece you would chop off a badly injured arm or leg but would need an immediate way to stop the bleeding.

And this process is what is happening now, stopping the bleeding and spectators telling the surgeon and his assistants how to proceed.

Funny. That is all I am saying. I do not want to get in trouble.

By your new iPhones and TVs now folks. I wouldn't wait.

Might also be worth stocking up on essentials again ... toilet paper anyone?
There are now 75 other countries desperately wanting in on the USA consumer market. Inflation won't be too bad. Food prices are not a worry...This is Merica!

Most of the time economists say the opposite. It is a dumb approach.
Keynesian "big government" economists say the opposite and, although each is entitled to his opinion, IMHO, I think a bit of initial pain will result in a much larger later gain (Austrian economics)!

We all need to put our big boy:big girl pants on. The more you understand history, the more you will know that tariffs are the smart way to go. We didn’t make this mess, but it has to be cleaned up. So yes, a lil teething pain, but the results will more than be worth it. Vs the way things have been going. Corruption running amuck.

We are very confident in the tariff and other DC programs. All will eventually (shortly we hope) benefit the citizens and taxpayers of the USA. If some simply research and listen to the plans, honestly, it would make sense. Our country has been taken advantage for many decades. Almost all countries have very high tariffs and VAT taxes on OUR goods. FINALLY bold action is being taken.

Some folks here relish in some of the pains in this, even though (shortly we hope) our economy will take off. Short term pain for a great long term gain.
FICTIONAL STATS
the tariffs on USA in this
chart are Grossly Inflated

PRETTY MUCH
the same way a man-child
career grifter used aa sharpie
to extend hurricane path !!
