How long till the economy collapses?

[Anonymous]

How can the market return better with tariff on/off and on/off plus more job cut in federal jobs & job cut of contractors because of cancelling contracts ? very now and then more news like threatens new tariff on 250% on Canada dairy. Do you think the President will just stop talking about it ? This year is not a good year for the market. I just don't know how bad it will be.

It's pretty cool to watch. Luckily for me I am young and don't have as much to lose as people in their 40s.

Pfizer stock has been so utterly bad the last three years. The dividend is only so high because the stock fell from the high fifties to mid twenties in the last three years.

It’s very hard to chase markets. By the time the change has happened it probably too late to jump in. Example. European aerospace and military stock index’s jumped 30% after being flat for 10 years. Now they are settling down again.

No the Street isn’t predicting this. Post ANYONE who says this. I think Cramer is a hack, but he’s not wrong: “ Of course, not many investors saw this coming — and that’s incredible to me — and the shock from Trump’s change in attitude has terrified the money-men,” he said. “Virtually overnight, they’ve decided that we’re headed for a recession, and it’s going to happen fast.”

Collapsing now. Not even about egg prices. It's about life savings and retirement accounts at this point. And, I am spending less. Don't need anything material really. Am absolutely not doing online shopping anywhere especially with A and T or W.....

We were going to buy a new car, embark on several major home improvement projects and take several trips abroad. Now we will only repair/maintain and take a trip to Hawaii in off-season.

We all have a lot to lose.

Wait for collapse when we have tariffs on EU, EU stops buying US weapons, together with the rest of the world. Medicare and Medicaid and SS are cut and FDIC is no longer. US debt is downgraded and dollar is <20% of world reserves. Who would love such a scenario. Follow the money...
