Calm down. I just want to know if your posts are worth taking seriously or if they are right-wing tripe.

What tripe are yours?
I'm saying nothing right wing. Get out of the binary think.

I meant to say, he wouldn't use the Dow as a sample.

Who needs judges and juries when you can have an authoritarian president who can disappear anyone at will? Sound great to you doesn't it?

Deflection, diversion and denial and on top of it, none of it even remotely accurate. Typical. Go figure. 🤷‍♂️

Deflection? Open your eyes. Trump has created market turmoil under the pretenses of neo-mercantilism.

"bounces back" = continues to decline

The losses today looked more normal, but there likely won't be a "bounce back" for months at best.

I disagree. The sheer rumor of postponed tariffs was though to swing markets 10%. Markets need certainty, and the only thing that's certain about the current regime is uncertainty.

Holy shit, that's US built prices.
My US made 000-15 goes for $1699.00
The US vs Mexican prices are starting to blur.

Edit, I'm sure it's a nice guitar, but for the specs, the price seems steep.

You may be right. I like it but it may be overrated. The built in tuner is a disappointment. It's kind of slow and went on the fritz for a while.

Would you believe Martin does not make a case for it? I had to get a generic Gator case that does not fit perfectly. I got a small fender amp recommended for it which I will trade in for something better.

You spend that much, it better come with a case.
I'm disappointed in Martin for that.
I personally never liked onboard acoustic pups because they can stop working.
I go old school and use a Dean Markley pro-mag sound hole pup. Edit. I just noticed that if you buy a new Martin 000-15 today it only comes with a padded bag. I bought mine five years ago and it came with a nice deluxe hardshell case. It sucks, it seems like the more you spend the less you get these days.

The good news is it wasn't another steep decline.

But it was a day of wild wings influenced by little more than rumors and that doesn't bode well given the current political environment.

Multiple companies are still putting big money into the U.S. economy...

  • Johnson & Johnson: On Friday, Johnson & Johnson announced manufacturing, research and development, and technology investments of more than $55 billion in the U.S. over the next four years. They say it represents a 25 percent increase in investment compared to the previous four years under President Joe Biden, crediting an increase in investment levels to the 2017 Tax Cuts & Jobs Act. Also on Friday, the company broke ground on a 500,000-square-foot biologics manufacturing facility in Wilson, North Carolina.
  • SoftBank: On Monday, SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son visited Trump at Mar-a-Lago and announced a $100 billion investment over the next four years with a promise to create 100,000 jobs focused on artificial intelligence and related infrastructure, according to CNBC.
  • United Arab Emirates: After a meeting with Trump, the United Arab Emirates committed to a 10-year, $1.4 trillion agreement with the U.S. that will sustain existing investments in AI infrastructure, semiconductors, energy, and American manufacturing, according to Reuters.
  • Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company: Semiconductor giant TSMC announced earlier this month in response to Trump's tariffs threat on foreign chips that it would invest another $100 billion into its U.S. operations. The anticipated new chip fabrication plants, two advanced packaging facilities, and a new research and design center will increase the company's total investment in Phoenix to $165 billion—the largest foreign direct investment in U.S. history.
  • In January, Trump announced a $500 billion private investment in AI infrastructure led by OpenAI, Oracle and SoftBank.
  • Apple: Tech giant Apple announced a $500 billion investment.
  • Nvidia: On Thursday, the White House announced that chipmaker Nvidia would invest hundreds of billions of dollars over the next four years in U.S.-based manufacturing operations.
In comparison, the Biden administration, as of October 2024, created over 700,000 new manufacturing jobs and announced over $910 billion in private manufacturing investments, according to the Commerce Department.

In November 2024, the Small Business Administration announced an all-time high of more than 20 million business applications filed under Biden's watch.

Investors were also enticed by subsidies resulting from Biden-era legislation like the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, Chips and Science Act (CSA) and Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

Uhh, how was Biden decreasing inflation again? Don't you rmember the sharp rate hikes that the Fed had to resort to, well into Biden's term?
Is there some kind of recolleciton problem here?

Solid GDP? Increasing stock market? Good labor market You mean artificially purchased GDP from govt borrowing and inflationary spending?
I guess that's why so many blue-collar people voted against Democrats.


Were you not paying attention to all the threads posted in here about this stuff for the past few years?
On holiday, were you?

Why do you guys lie all the time? You have to ask yourself at some point if I have to lie and lie to defend dear leader wtf am I doing. Yes inflation peaked at 9.2% under Biden's watch. This was largely due to the GLOBAL pandemic....I know...I know...that was fake right? But as Biden's economic measures took effect by halfway through his term inflation was tanking and was lower than any other G7 nation. Sorry facts matter and your wrong. There was no artificial inflation of GDP. What BS podcast did you pull that from? The data could not be clearer. GDP primary driver was consumer spending. As it has been for decades now. The U.S. is a consumer economy. It has been for long time. That is not a bad thing. That is partly why the "reciprocal" tariffs are bat-s**t crazy. Trade deficits in a consumer economy are not necessarily bad things to have. That combined with the BS way the "reciprocal" tariffs were conjured by bs numbers confirms that Trump et al are bat-s**t crazy.
