This thread needs to go to the other board, b4 it inevitably turns into a turd. 

Lets keep the football board from being polluted with politics....

I want to see how they collect tariffs from penguins, LOL.

Seriously, hopefully everyone saw what was coming, locked in their gains in debt instruments at least.

It makes no fking sense.  They didn't even measure their tariffs off TARIFFS.  They used trade deficits. 

Take Canada for instance.  Endless natural resources.  We obviously import a ton of stuff from them.  Their 40M people can't match what our 330M people import from them.  Its physically/financially impossible.  Thats why you see huge imports on small Asian countries.  Cambodia was hit the hardest.  Their economy is a fraction of the state of Minnesota's economy.  Obviously they can't import goods from higher earning people.  It financially happen.

Now you can argue that America should make what it consumes but we don't have the labor force to do that now.  Our 330M people make u 3.7% of the world population but are 26% of the world GDP.  We'll never have balanced trade.  Its physically impossible.

There's no baisis in reality in the White house right now.

Some of us saw it coming, and warned a LOT, for a long time.

It's tough to fight cultism.


And, nearing noon CST, it's down 1622 today....

So...everybody saw this "coming"...yet all of you were still all in the market? Everybody knew when the tariffs would kick in and anybody that invests in the market knows it overreacts to positive and negative events. Why was everybody in the market? It makes no sense to me. I shelved all of my investments prior to Wednesday. I'll probably jump back in next week depending on what shakes out this weekend as some of these tariffs get negotiated. Should be a chance to make some money as sooner or later the brokerage houses will have to drive a bull market to survive and thrive.

 I can only control my own investments, and my own vote. My disdain for our traitor-in-chief is awfully clear, and I've repeatedly mentioned the damages he's done with our international relations partially because trade end up being VERY involved, just as it's also a large facet of our widespread military efforts.

The rabid little isolationists are getting their days, but the pain will last for YEARS as supply chains, facilities, even the legalities in all involved often take years to get accomplished; so, even if so much of this "comes back" here, it'll take years to truly get rolling and we'll still be dealing with the damages in pricing/supply caused by this punk administration.

This is looking like a true FAFO situation, and middle America is finding out (even more) how little the orange stain cares about them....

Down 2231 today, trillions flushed...and the reprisals are just beginning. For all of you that voted for cheaper groceries...y'all SHOULD fell betrayed.

Now is the time to make money.  I love all the Einstein’s on here losing their mind over a temporary downturn because of a long overdue correction that no other president has had the balls to enact.  God people are dumb.  Smart people are going to load up the market.  The whiners will probably sell in the next week and never get why they continue their lot in life..
