re: DOW closes down 720 points after Trump's China tariffs

The DOW is to high. It needs to drop at least another 1500 to start evening out.

It gained to much under Obama and Trump. It needs to drop slower than 1500 a week.

The tariff policy should hurt the DOW just like inflation news.

I think there's method in his madness. He's blowing some steam off an overheated fragile stock market bubble. It's a blameable reason explaining drops and volitility which does not necessarily create mass panic among investors. It might also start a slow trend to raise interest rates. Better these things happen incrementally than in a panic collapse. IMO.

The truly hilarious aspect is that capitalism is infinitely better than communism yet the largest capitalist economy apparently can’t compete with the subsidies paid for by the largest communist economy..

Trump said something a few days ago about a fair trade deal with South Korea.....South Korea does not exist as an industrialized nation without US taxpayers......how is that ever going to be “fair”?

Tariffs were a bad idea back in the ‘70s when Democrats were all about them......now they are a GOP idea.

Where are the workers going to come from with 4% unemployment? Steel and aluminum and manufacturing ain’t coming back......we subsidized the world’s economy by providing stable markets through military might and in exchange we got fewer manufacturing jobs. Tariff away.....4% unemployment spells failure......
