To arbitrarily cut of all electricity to our states would obviously violate various contracts.

Would be an act of war.

In case of such draconian actions I would not fault Trump if he decides to commit paratroopers and take over those facilities in Ontario.

I half expect this to happen.
You are okay with going to war with Canada? That will make Trump no better than Putin. Trump's quest for new territory (Greenland, Canada, etc.) is quite troubling.


If Ontario willfully fails to provide electricity to the populations of three of our states despite viable contracts………that is in reality an act of war.

Hell yes I am ok with defending our citizens.
Warren Buffett considers tariffs an act of war. I agree with him.

If there are valid contracts in place at a set price for x amount of megawatts for months/ years, it seems to me that Donald Trump and the United States have violated the contract(s) by just Willy Nilly jacking up tariffs.

Trump's treatment of Mexico and Canada is atrocious. Neither are our enemy. Trump is certainly not treating them like allies. Would sure hate to see both countries cozy up to China/ Russia/ N. Korea because of Trump's arrogance. The world is a dangerous place. Trump should try just a little bit of diplomacy here. We need more allies, - not fewer.


Then every counrty applying tariffs to the US is risking war! Instead of matching tarriffs, we should just take over those places!
And we all thought it was the Dems that were the warmongers!

You dont get what Trump is doing. He is bringing everything back to the USA. He wants us to be as self sufficient as possible, moving as far away from the globalist experiment of George Soros as quickly as possible. Look back at every single thing that he has done.
The scariest part about all of this is that Trump does not realize who actually pays the tariffs. Or he doesn't want to acknowledge it.

The tariffs are paid by the importer of record, which is mostly American companies and Americans. This is why higher inflation will be a highly probable outcome.

There was a strong July to December drop in the S&P during Trump's first term when tariffs on China happened. This was followed by a nice run up until COVID.


Obviously too early to really start making judgments… But it's a rough start




Here is a ten year chart of the S&P index:



Not seeing how those percent drops on your chart match up. Those first term drops were pretty hard.
Considering the Index is at 5572, it means your graph doesn't show all the data...

It needs to pull back to around 5000 to test that support level to be honest.


Larger dips in the index while it was lower overall would mean higher percentage of the index lost.

Not seeing percentage change in index in first chart matching up with the actual data. What am I missing?
The graph is not showing the drop in the index as of now. S&P closed at 5572 today. I'm sure you can read an put a guesstimate line where 5572 would be on this chart...


Percent drop still doesn't match. It's not how many points drop, but percentage drop in boognish's chart.
5572 is on the chart, but is harder to see because of 10 year range.
the term you're looking for is a logarithmic chart. Here is a logarithmic chart with fib retracement levels, visible showing of the receding market since the top, 3 lvl EMA and parabolic trend reversal analysis.

What if I told you Russia did something similar to Ukraine multiple times pre War and even Pre Maiden (in the dead of winter), just did it to Moldova, and did the same with several European countries, including NATO members. Still think of it as an act if war?

You should be more concerned about the 60 percent + of produce we import from Mexico. Retailers have already told Trump prices are going up. Trump's response? He does not care. Get ready for Covid era pricing at the grocery store. Let them eat cake (very expensive cake). Unforced error by Trump.

Trump can't blame this fiasco on anybody but himself. It is funny to watch Trump's cheerleaders proclaim that no recession is coming. Kind of gives me flashbacks of Janet Yellin's "Inflation is transitory" stance. I am very disappointed in Larry Kudlow. He should know better.

This is just saying out loud the absurd lack of understanding the tariff cheerleaders have.

By the way, this is playing out exactly like Herbert Hoover's tariff folly. We raise tariffs, then other nations are resisting and raising tariffs on us. Soon we'll get to reciprocal tariffs, which will lead to more tariffs on U.S. goods, which leads to a decline in global demand as consumers and corporations bear the burden of higher costs, leading to global economic decline. The only positive is we aren't starting out in a depression state, but it almost seems like Trump is determined to crash equity markets with his irrationality, so who knows where we are when it really hits.

Yes sir, you are certainly correct. The market is taking a hit.

I have lost some money too…..on paper.

However since I am confident in the long run Trumps tariffs are the right action…..will not sell more of my stocks at this time.

There are plenty of examples of smaller countries holding their own or even defeating countries much more powerful on paper. We experienced that in Vietnam, the Soviets did in Afghanistan. Wars are chaotic and often unpredictable.

More importantly, the U.S. has no desire or reason to attack Canada. It's not about ability. I doubt Trump seriously wants an invasion of our northern neighbor or to make them the 51st state. It's a negotiating tactic and it's working in the sense that has them rattled & they are making concessions.

You dont get what Trump is doing. He is bringing everything back to the USA. He wants us to be as self sufficient as possible, moving as far away from the globalist experiment of George Soros as quickly as possible. Look back at every single thing that he has done.
The scariest part about all of this is that Trump does not realize who actually pays the tariffs. Or he doesn't want to acknowledge it.

The tariffs are paid by the importer of record, which is mostly American companies and Americans. This is why higher inflation will be a highly probable outcome.

Ultimately, tariffs are paid by the consumer. If anyone buys a product, even with only part of it imported, the seller will raise the price to compensate for their increased costs. Fundamental economics. Surely, Trump knows this. But it should be clear that his on and off tariffs are only a negotiating tactic. It appears to be working..

More important than Trump's reaction will be the global perception that Russia is the aggressor. Of course, that is the case since they started the war. But now they have a chance to stem the flow of their blood and obtain much of what they claim to want. They would be foolish to reject negotiation out of hand.

It's all political theater.
