How about that stock market?

Looks like your 401k is getting hit hard by Trump's new 100% Chinese tariffs. 

I am sure glad my new Chinese built desktop arrived today. If it were twice the price, I would have walked.

Trump has one solution for everything when dealing with trade, tariffs. Tariffs up, tariffs down, tariff deadlines, and tariff deadlines extended. Could this be a TACO (Trump always chickens out) buy?

The Market dropped like a rock.    So much winning!!

What triggered Trump to do that?


 China stopped buying our soybeans, hiked port fees on US ships. and it also curbed shipping exports of rare earth minerals. It's a typical trade war pissing contest.

I guess Trump, like all bullies, was stunned when his victim fought back.

Dang MAGA discovers the indexes again! They had no clue what they were from 2020 to 2024, although they were talking about it in 2022. Let's have a look!

 

                         S&P500                 NASDAQ

 

2024                  +25%                      +29.7%

2023                  +26%                      +44.7

2022                  -18.11%                  -33%

2021                  +28.71%                +26.63%

 

 

Let me guess, you just remember 2022, right? 

 

Did you MAGA folks pull your money from the markets due to the predicted crash trumpeted by the right-wing media? Biden was coming into office, and it was all gold and ammo for the right-wing folks. 

S&P up 11.4% YTD, and our Liberals are whining.
