He tried that last time, a one time tax break to bring back cash abroad. The largest portion of american companies brought the money back, and rather than invest in manufacturing, or people, they bought back their own stock, which raised the price and all the executives made a fortune on options. Fooled once..........

Looking at my 401K, it definitely is not easy after this week. Onward and upward.


Assuming you’ve got many years left before retirement, these dips are where some wealth is about to be built.

yep

anyone that is losing their mind over short term losses probably shouldn't be in risky stocks....stick to safe, lower returns, investments.

I get a chuckle when people post this like it is an own when we are two weeks post the announcement of a foreign auto manufacturer spending billions to put their steel plant in the US.

I dont think anyone, including Bessent and Trump, intend for the entire US manufacturing supply to be brought back.

Are you purposely being obtuse. Its quite simple. Implement tariffs, you can either produce in America, or reduce your tariffs. It really is quite simple.

I agree, it’s simple. If they drop their tariffs American manufacturing is not increased. You get one of the other, not both.

Trumps popularity and agenda are 100% tied to the stock market rise or fall not sure why he starts off his term with tariffs instead of exposing corruption , seems to have gone silent on that front.


Well if you're gonna do this (dumb or not, we'll find out) now's the time. He has an entire term to repair some of the damage this may cause.

Someone asked this question in another thread..Which ally of his will mutiny first? Keep an eye out for that. If we start seeing political allies, appointees and/or cabinet members bail on him. We'll have our answer on all this shite, and where it will end up.

How can anyone trust that Trump understands big picture macroeconomic strategy? What’s the over/under on Economic books he’s read??

NO! Our planning horizon must be limited to no longer than one week! All negative outcomes MUST be settled/reversed in that time frame.
