You raise some good points about what the study is missing. I’m looking forward to seeing the full paper they’re putting out to see if that clears anything up.

It makes a (pretty big) assumption that just because exporters are not paying the tariff, then it must be falling to American importers/consumers without really showing the play by play of that; even if it is something that can be safely assumed, assumptions are not the job of true and honest research.



Good stuff. Thanks for the insight.

We were told in April by you tariff goobers that prices were going out the roof, the economy would tank and the stock market would crash. None of that happened

Tell us you dont own any stocks without telling us.

The "Liberation Day" market crash of April 2025, triggered by new tariffs, was a significant event, featuring the S&P 500's worst two-day percentage drop in decades (around 10.5% over April 3-4) and the Nasdaq's biggest point loss ever on April 3rd.

Because tariffs tend to raise prices suddenly and also stabilize them suddenly, their effects are largely hidden by inflation numbers.



Have we seen this huge bump?

How does this huge bump compare to the inflation we saw under Biden?

Interesting because I haven’t noticed any significant increase in any goods

The only change was an increase in industrial motors and gear reducers I buy for the farm, but I was able to change brands to ones not made in China that were cheaper post tariff increase and so far have been more durable while only costing me a net increase of 40 dollars each from what I paid pre tariff increase on the Chinese made ones

If you’re going to counterpunch, you need to make contact. Shadowboxing isn’t defense.

Have a good one, bro.

The study showed that for every 10% tariff increase, exporters reduced their price by approximately 0.39%


That just isn't close to believable. To believe that, you'd have to believe that importers hold almost zero negotiating power with their associated suppliers.

All the usual TDS nerds eating this BS up as gospel in this thread. Totally predictable... and sad.

The stock market rebounded and inflation remained manageable. The sky screamers were wrong

That has happened after every US stock market crash of all time....

So are you really arguing the market has never crashed?

I can see how it feels that way to you but it was pretty low effort.

In any case, you've already agreed with my only claim, so unless you have anything else, I'll give you the last word.

You sir are a moron, of course it’s crashed multiple times. The recovery time is what matters most to investors. I’m guessing you panicked and sold.

Nope. The guy i responded to said it never crashed when tariffs were announced. It was the biggest point loss in a single day in NASDAQ history. Thats a crash.

The market had another bad day today as well after trump announced tariffs until they give him Greenland.
