I've been invested since 1972........seen it all. It takes MUCH longer to recover your 401. You lose money a lot faster than you gain it back. People today have not recovered from the Bush recession. Oh sure, something will eventually build back, but what you lost will rarely return.....

You could tell they were going to open well when there was no daily doomsday thread about futures and how the markets had done in Japan.

This is huge out the gate but also as I said, many folks are making money today. Some see panic. Others see opportunity.

I love how some people still don’t grasp the concept of volatility, and we’ve got volatility the likes that we’ve never seen before. 😁

<in my best Trump voice> I heard somebody say this is the best volatility they ever saw. I've got the best volatility. <hand gestures> Nobody handles volatility like me. <hand gestures> Only I can fix this volatility.

It takes an average of ~23 months to reach new all time highs after the bottom of a bear market, assuming obe is invested in SP500

Now Musk is calling Navarro Retardo.

Musk is such a child. It blows me away when people say he's smart. He's so damn dumb. He's merely a testament to how being born rich allows you to constantly fail upwards.
 
The markets still don't understand what Trump's real strategy is nor do his trading partners.....nor do I think does he. One thing I do know is Navarro and Lutnik have got to go and Bessent needs to take charge.

Just think. In the 60s the Democrats were big union guys and for the little man. The factory workers. The auto union workers. The struggling laborers who were church goers and raised a family. They were for free speech.

All of that changed now. The Republicans are the Democrats now and the Democrats are for Big Pharm, big business, YS AID scans, waste, fraud, war.

John Kennedy has turned over in his grave.
 
This goes into effect tomorrow.

 
I have to wonder how much of this rally is just MAGA people putting money in to own the libs.

That explains why most racists, white nationalists, etc., used to be Democrats but are now Republicans.

That will add up to 104% cumulative tariffs on China. But who needs Chinese stuff anyway?

What Americans will pay 104% more for...
