Guess you are a charter member of the world conspiracy theory club.

Here's why I'm not too bothered by all this volatility. The long game is to get the U.S. and its corporation productivity back on better footing. Sometimes you have to shake the box to get the items to resettle more favorably.

Between 2000 and 2010, the DJIA pretty much sat around and hovered at about 10,000 points. It was stagnant between Y2K bug fears and the great real estate bubble in 2008 with the technology bubble bursting in between.

10 years of nothing happening. Then between 2010 and 2020, it quadrupled to over 40,000 points. 45 or 46 at a high. We are still at around 36,000 points - still WAYYYY better off than we were just 20 years ago,

We have been up and down between low/mid 40's and high 30,000 points since the global COVID issue (scam or not is another topic). The last half-decade has been relatively stagnant at about 40,000 points (give or take 5,000).

So, if you have cash, if you are a dollar cost average contributor, just wait it out. You do NOT want to cash out now and miss out on the potential of quadrupling again in the next 10 years.

Let the big macro game play out and we will be better off as a country. China has to be taken to task and this imbalance resolved now while we can still do it. Too much longer and it will be a lost battle. It is a battle we MUST win.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking, let China take over leading the world and distributing the wealth
😬😂🤣🤣🤣

If you are Canadian, which will you remember longer - Covid or being let down by the country that you FOUGHT with in 2 World Wars?

Dow surges 2,000 points, Nasdaq jumps 7%!!

My wife is happy!!

All I can say is that I should have bought the .VIX last week

Or will you remember longer how you wouldn't agree to fair trade?:thumbup:

Now that the insiders finished loading up on stocks, it was time for the tariffs to come off and say that was the plan all along.

Canada did NOT start the tariff fight.

Before the current Trade Disputes, Canada had the following tariffs:

- Dairy products: Up to 298% (e.g., butter) and 245% (e.g., cheese).
- Poultry: Up to 238% (e.g., chicken).
- Eggs: Around 163%.

The tariffs were to protect Canada’s farmers.

They only created the need for it, right?

Yeah, we all know only insiders can load up on stocks.:icon_hungry:

Amazing how some people think it is ok for other countries to take advantage of us

Proves the point that you can manipulate numbers. Like in a dip,stocks go from 3000 to 1500 and the dip is 50% but when stock goes up from 1500 to 3000 the rise will need to be 100%

Those rates only kicked in if imports exceeded a certain amount.
To date, those amounts have not been exceeded, and no US exporter has paid them.
