It's widely used and accurately descriptive. You're apparently annoyed that Trump doesn't have exclusive rights to name calling? |

The market did crash in April, OP. However, I understand your reluctance to get back in. 12% of the snapback was a single day when Trump announced the postponement of the reciprocal tariffs. Another 5% was the announcement of the initial Chinese agreement. The point being, not much of the rebound has been organic, but by tweet. That said, more people are getting into the market because tariffs negotiations will be ending and the final horizon seems to be 10% with something higher for China and a few other counties that make especially cheap goods. Also, now there’s certainty about taxes and the debt limit. Finally, the economy - overall - is hanging in there. |
If jobs go down, newly unemployed will work for less money. That means a business expenses will decreases, so a business will be able to charge less per product so.... so why is EVERYTHING going to cost more? |
Can you show me the date that the SP 500 went up 12 percent? Here are the top 2 in S and P 500 history and it isn't this past April. October 13, 2008: The S&P 500 saw its largest single-day percentage gain, increasing by 11.6% to close at 1,003.35. October 28, 2008: Just a couple of weeks later, the index experienced its second-largest single-day percentage increase, rising by 10.8% to 940.51. |
Look at April 9. I track QQQ, not SP500. QQQ popped 12.5% that day. |
Not only that, Trump is using tariffs for personal attention, not policy. But that's become boring, and the media and markets barely flinch any more. |
If people are earning less they are spending less dollars on both necessary and discretionary expenses. |
Sigh. OP here again. Maybe it is me, but folks do not seem to understand my point.
I did not get out of the market in any way shape or form. I do not play the market. I play the long-term. All I’m saying is that in this particular instance, I set aside money to cover my expenses for a longer period of time than I usually do because I was really hoping that the market would crash and the country would fall into an economic mess and that the idiot that we have as president would suffer the consequences. Unfortunately, that hasn’t happened yet. It’s very frustrating. The man is very frustrating. Right now I hate this country. That’s my bottom line. |
When the market was down earlier this year, his followers stuck by him and were ok with losing money. I think it’s a mistake to think that people are voting for what benefits them personally/financially. |
What a nasty mindset OP. I am a dem but whether we like it or not, he won in 2024. Elections have consequences. Maybe you should ask Jeff to move this topic to politics forum. |
This is obviously fake news concocted by this corrupt administration. |
State and local governments actively recruiting displaced feds, so not odd at all. |
Not true at all. This is the one moniker that has really gotten under his orange skin. Because it’s Mexican, and it’s true. |
Nope. It’s not a politics thing. I’m genuinely confused about the market’s reaction to the insanity. It’s counterintuitive. |
