Trade Wars and Tariffs

#1,554

Does anyone know who's selling and who's buying? I sure hope the sellers are not the pension and retirement funds and the buyers are individual investors (like our politicians)
The company I work for is a global manufacturer, I've heard that the Tariffs on both sides (foreign and domestic) are going to impact our prices about 5% which is less than the 12% inflation in 2020 or 2021.
In the grand scheme of things this was a bird taking a dump, not the sky falling unless everybody panics.

It’s a great question. Who is selling? It almost seems like markets are being manipulated by globalist interests. And/or governments (China?). There must be a lot of short selling going on or else the weak hands are in a panic.

I lost $100,000 this week and it's looking to be even more after today's over. And for what? A dumbass thinking he can bring manufacturing back to the rust belt? Lol.

That's exactly what the left is trying to do, manufacture a problem by decreasing confidence.

Been waiting for the "we were due for this, anyway" argument. An easy ploy, can't be refuted as an alternative, excuses errors in judgment and policy in blanket form.

We have been due. The reality is that we have been in a recession and only out of control government spending (and changing the definition) has kept us from feeling the effects. The path we were on was not sustainable.

The alternative is the country is overran with illegals and there isn't anything left but a corpses of the remaining industrial base.

What;s your plan?

There are no more easy choices, lots of tough times ahead at best. Time to maybe put your big boy pants on.

China is also in the midst of totally neutering the semi market as well which is where a lot of the fluff in this market has come from. They’re going to flood the market with cheaper semis and AI. A lot of big tech reports later this month so could possibly see a little run then; of course if forward guidance is sketchy could see another leg down.

MAGA crowd can't admit they made a HUGE mistake in backing Trump and are going to go down with the ship.

Ok so this dog simply won’t hunt. No I don’t miss Puddinhead or his lackey absentee VP. They both absolutely had to go. And as a voter for a third option that was on the ballot I’d like to take this opportunity to point out there were two other candidates on the ballot than the two party idiots we always get.

Are you saying the fed just can't keep pumping money into the market to hold it up?
