I said in another thread this was a real possibility.

One of my trading apps used to show up/down vs prior day. They switched to "all time" about a week ago. If you click to look at yesterday you get a message about staying the course.

If you click to withdraw your money you get a series of messages about keeping on track and the possible tax implications of withdrawal.

It's pretty obvious the market is freaking out. If you're not ready to retire this is a great time to buy the dip. Could be a huge money maker.


Had my first client go kaput. Startup framing contractor. Bid a job a month ago and now the price of lumber has gone up around 20% because of the tariffs and he can't purchase the lumber. Been in business only 2 months and put in $200k of his own money.

Now out of work and his savings is gone.

No they won't because in 1.5 years everyone in this country is going to be seeing "Tariffs are Taxes on YOU!" billboards every 50 feet.

Only Republicans could have things this good and fumble this badly.


Yup. Self inflicted wound and it's going to derail his agenda moving forward.

We have some dumb mother****ers in our party

Nasdaq was 10x what it was 10 years ago. If you think this is a dip in a trade war you are going to have a bad time

You can buy NB for like $69. I just bought a pair for a "white party" last weekend simply because they completed the outfit.
I do not think the $69 New Balance Sneakers are made in the USA.

I'm shocked any of them are produced in the USA.

As a guy with a small business I get it. We have crushed it the last two years. Down about 30% from last year right now. Because I'm terminally cheap we will be fine…for a while. I don't know that we can hold on 18 months down 30%.

No matter what it is, we have to hope he is right and knows what he is doing. I would feel much better with Mnuchin in Treasury versus Bessent.

I am both disgusted and impressed at the mental gymnastics of you tribal zealots. Go back and read what you said about Biden and stock market dips. Now Trump crashes it and you say it's a good thing.

We are going to soon get to where multiple years of GDP has been erased from the American market alone.

Trillions invested in the US? Offset by tens of trillions lost in global markets. Just amazing. I still assume this will be a blip, but the market will not recover for a long time. This is way worse than anyone was thinking.

I wonder how long the mind of the zealot can defend cratering the global economy.

He has no clue what the results will be. This is uncharted territory. But cratering the global economy will not leave us with many friends. He is just defending himself.

A life hack is if you just reduce exercise and increase processed foods your 401K runway is basically the same as it was last week

Lots of golf recently and now taking in a baseball game in the middle of the day. He doesn't seem too worried.
