Best case scenario, trump slowly caves on his tariffs, they become less and smaller and each time he makes concessions to the original plan, the stock market gets a lift. Trust me, trump checks the indexes daily and knows messing with peoples 401k's isn't good for his approval ratings...

Nice graph... showing past performance :) Unfortunately, we have never experienced what is happening now.. Well maybe back in the 30's. I'd buy back into this market if ANYONE but trump was at the helm. What he will do next is too unpredictable to bank on IMO. It will be fun to revisit this...

Past performance does not guarantee future results

Encouraging others to try and catch falling knives seems a bit obtuse, but that's just me. I prefer to watch the show from the sidelines until things settle down. Do you honestly think trump will do a complete about face on tariffs and suddenly the bull market returns? I think it'll just be more...

Today, trump said the price of eggs has gotten too low.. Honestly.

I do think we've ventured pretty far off topic though. I've had my eye on an ebike upgrade even though I just bought another one about a year ago. A new ebike purchase will not sit well with the wife but would bring me much joy. Actually looking at a Frey bike (not cheap) Communicating with the...

I think shorting the SP500 is a good plan right now , that is unless trump fires Jerome Powell. If that happens, rates plummet, stock market rises and so does inflation. Everyone is happy until the big bust, just like 2008. Unfortunately, I don't have the nerve to short anything!

I doubled down on several stocks about 5 years ago. That has worked out well, yeah even thought of tripling down too. I'm staying out of this market with a pretty big chunk for as long as this uncertainty on trade policy persists. If the trade war continues, I can see much lower equity pricing...

Appreciate the mea culpa :) and yes, I think ALL equities are a risk in the current environment, the markets hate uncertainty

Well, I own utility stocks and many high dividend paying stocks, ETFs etc. but I was looking for a place to park some cash short term at 4.99%. Best I can find around here is in the low 4's. I sold my QQQ's at 530 a share. Today it's at 444. I saw the writing on the wall. Again, not going to...

Catching falling knives is not good for your health.. Do me a favor? post a link to where I can get 4.99% return on cash today, TIA seriously!

The NASDAQ is already in a bear market and the SP500 is teetering on the brink. Yes, quite difficult to "diversify" in a bear market such as this and expect to break even, much less see any gains. A bear market is one that sees 20% losses. We are there. In fact I'd argue I'm well diversified if...

I don't think the tariffs have actually hit yet. Some vendors now applying "trump tariff surcharge" to visible price tags.

trump is now saying he'll send "the home growns"to the El Salvador prison w/o due process if he determines they are gang members. This is unbelievable. Marco Rubio said people can be deported for their beliefs alone. This is getting pretty scary here.

Oh yes, Americans are going to be so much better off with the tariffs, when exactly does "the golden age" start? RIght now, my golden age is seeing 20% losses in my retirement fund.

LOL.. To be clear,there was gerrymandering in only one Democratic state: Illinois, for a total advantage of 1.7 seats. But there was serious gerrymandering in six Republican states, for a total advantage of 13.2 seats. Republicans tried hard to gerrymander themselves into a majority and succeeded.

If Stefan isn't from here, he probably has no knowledge of gerry mandering as well which is simply political manipulation of electoral boundaries which skews results in favor of the GOP

since when is 1.5% a "vast majority"??? Without republican gerry mandering, I wonder what the results would have been

It's not what I voted for but sadly, the rest of the world assumes we all voted for trump
