  1. Oldie but goodie. I thought the one in 2018 was better though: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-was-only-joking-about-japanese-bowling-ball-test-cars-n857111 The truth is, regulatory hurdles are actually real (the bowling ball test is not). The article cites an example of one with Japan and how the disparity was addressed under the Obama administration (by, you know, talking). One problem though....
  2. It just occurred to me, that observing the market over the past week is a lot like back during and after Covid when I dabbled with the OTC for fun. Random, volatile as hell, and shady as all get out.
  3. I think it's going to slide more here at the end. There was some money made today, but who wants to hold overnight? Too much can happen.
  4. Aaaand the EU just responded with 25% tariffs.
  5. S&P actually has some green to it now. Might end up being a fairly neutral day.
  6. Nevermind, yes I will. But only because you gave into my demands.
  7. I'm all cash, baby. But I'm willing to put it aside to hear your financial analysis of the situation (because you haven't actually given any yet). Nevermind, no I won't.
  8. Yeah, I think the unpredictability of it all is the thing. Usually when something really bad happens it can't be undone, and there's a formula that follows. This, at least partially, can be undone so there's a variable in the calculus that's not usually there.
  9. The market further collapsed today (but don't mention why). The market at one point surged (but don't mention the report that Trump was considering a 90 day pause). The market then tanked again (but don't mention the White House calling the report fake news). This thread is much, much more reserved than the thread In Cloak (that's why I'm here), but come on. We don't have to pretend it's not a the thing.
  10. This is a situation that was completely and wholly driven by a political catalyst from the President of The United States. Why, and honestly how, can it be discussed without inclusion or animus related to the cause? Jesus, it'd be like discussing someone's chlamydia without including the $20 sexual encounter with the meth-head prostitute on the corner. I mean, it could be done, I suppose. But why if only for the sake of the prostitute and her prostitute friends.
  11. He honestly believes that he's the world's CEO, and that he's reigning in Division heads.
  12. God I'd love to play poker against him.
  13. I mean, I'm all cash right now.
  14. Well the Nikkei is about to- it triggers at -10 and is hovering right around there.
  15. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14574029/hedge-funds-margin-calls-donald-trump-tariffs.html
