Another bigly losing day
 

Looks like it still has a ways to go, and get ready for inflation with the cost of nearly everything including food going up.

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

Might also be worth stocking up on essentials again ... toilet paper anyone?

...please. Some here are enjoying the dip etc.

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.

If in the long run this puts the US in a better position vis a vis world trade this will all be worth it.

Those people are called short-sellers. Not regular people like us.

I am as happy as a clam. Time to raise rents just a tad!

Most of the time economists say the opposite. It is a dumb approach.

This aged well - Dow just hit 40,000

I am not an economist but from what I have read, it would be better for the world if there were no tariffs (or at least lower tariffs).

I think that is what the US is trying to achieve.

Dow could gain 3,000 points
 

DOW could gain 3,000 points today

"Another bigly losing day"

Jus wait five minutes

Looks like the tariffs were paused except for on China.

If only we had access to the Magic Eight Ball, to see what the decisions will be tomorrow……………

No doubt those on the inner circle have access to the Magic Eight Ball.

Anyone is free to buy in at anytime.;)

Or sell , or just sit on your hands and wait this out. Most of the people her have been around long enough to have seen many ups and downs, dead cat bounce ? his weekend I will make the garage sale circuit looking for the Magic 8 Ball

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!

Heck of a Cat
 

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 not do surgery with a spear.

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.

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!

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.

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 !!

Up down red green doesn’t mean much to me I’m on a pension and every day more of my grandkids inheritance gets eaten by the video slot machines so oh well.

Do the math, none of the plans nor the numbers add up locally nor globally for any measure of success.

And one wonders how casinos, which have the odds in their favor, can go bankrupt.

The measure of success by the home team with home town rules, might be the number of foreign countries which reduced tariffs, but the cost dollars might not add up in total. Don't be tricked with Simpson's paradox.

However, taking a grifter's/manipulator's/crook's/criminal's words literally, instead of using historical behavioral patterns, can be very risky to one's wealth. .

just watch the bond market for clues.
Less bad may still not be good.
Any failed treasury auctions will be not good for the stock market. .
watch the interest rates on the 10 yr and the 30 year interest rates. .

Remember Bessent was in the room when Soros broke the Bank of England.
He knows a trick or two about international economics, as well as both growth and bankruptcy strategies.

There are 3 years 10 months left of this. . and watch Bloomberg, not CNBC, where one of Bloombergs guest actually said in an interview, that he prefers Bloomberg where he doesn't have to read a script.

He seems to know what he is talking about. For another approach Google "Rules of Evidence" and "Character".

The CNBC halftime show is usually somewhat informative and I enjoy Squawk Box(6-9 AM) for the entertainment. Can't stand Cramer though.
