Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[Poopymonster]

The EU is gonna retaliate any day now as well.

Just don't look at your portfolio for a few weeks/months/years guys. If you don't look, then nothing has happened.

Should have been 12 hours from now for maximum lols. This gives the markets a day to stabilise. Might not be enough, but let's see.

Nah, gives the impression of stabilization and then "OH MY GOD IT'S THE EU WITH A STEEL CHAIR!"

[hellhamster]

Holy shit that small moment of respite/bounce lasted a few minutes, it's going down hard again.

I mean, it's 7pm on Friday in China right now. 12 hours from now would be early Saturday morning for them.

Oh man, 225 - 250 jobs will be added.

Even better, it literally says they're temporary jobs.

It just keeps falling and falling and falling...

Holy shit...

Hope he sees why this was a bad idea 40 years ago, and why it remains a bad idea today.

Who am I kidding, he'll just double down even further.

[hellhamster]

I'm losing so much money right now haha.

I told myself in January to exit, I thought naaaaah, how bad can it be? Well, this bad.

[PhaelixWW]

Well fuck. That's 1500.

Anyone wanna lay odds on dropping past 39k before open?

Remember you never lose money if you don't cash out.
Hold!

Amazon stock sliding back to pre-Trump levels. Is this what winning bigly looks like?

[Mayhem]

Futures today are looking red, but not by much.

Fear and Greed index is at 7. I wanna say this is a buying opportunity, but I don't know what the D has in store for us yet.

Jeebus that post aged like Walter Donovan in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

[Elenos]

I mean yeah the whole world economic just smashed into a massive brick wall.

Yeah, China came with a reverse uno, which I kinda forgot would happen.

[PhaelixWW]

Well, the market's attempting to claw some of that back. Let's see how successful it is.

This guy came to me wall street guy very smart guy with tears in his eyes he said sir your tariffs are so good the best tariffs, you're doing things no one has ever seen before. And I said thank you I didn't believe it until he said it because he is a smart guy so smart...

[Corvus]

Fear and greed index now down to 6.

Honestly, the rest of the world should get together and tag team the US - take it in turns to announce tariffs so the US stock market has no chance to recover

I didn't do a full exit in January I got out of all the index funds and liquidated a few things and haven't logged back into may account since. It was also the first year I didn't put any money into the market at all.

I know the markets always trend up but I still am surprised it keeps trying to rebound through all this, like those investors HAVE to know what is coming and it’s not really going to get better but they still keep trying.

I think the tariffs go into effects on the 9th, they are waiting to react but everything is drafted. France is now pushing for a full ban of all US goods, I don't think they will take it that far but goes to show you how far we have fallen. Elon Musk's companies are going to get destroyed world wide since he is seen as the biggest punching bag to hurt Trump.

It's not investors most of the movements are from algos, that's why the swings are much faster and deeper.

The alternative is a death spiral granted that's what Trump and co. want but the mid-level traders absolutely do not.

Traders use bots that trade based on algorithms. You see a bounce now, but I see a scheduled buy for a better short position a few minutes later, all is based on technical algorithm mumbo jumbo.

In his ego and hubris he didn't stop to consider that acting as Trump's hatchet man might hurt his businesses. He'll never go hungry but it would be nice to see him cut down to size.
