was waiting to tax loss harvest until Friday so missed out on that even I didn't think he'd cave this fast
I've trying to move over my entire 401K from a previous employer to a new one and have been terrified to get the check with all this volatility, so I just haven't. I'm going to end up leaving it there for years at this rate, but I can't imagine having withdrawn hundreds of thousands from the market and watched these last couple weeks unfold while waiting to redeposit
Your point is that “no one knows!” He’s a pretty easy psychological read. You should say YOU don’t know especially making a statement that was factually incorrect. You can make some easy money off of his charade if you wanted to
no one knows for a fact what he is going to do day to day , which has been my point this whole time I think you've misinterpreted something
This all started from me saying he’s using tariffs as negation tactics. You still want to claim that’s not the case or did you not understand that from the jump?
what concessions did he get trump stated in his press conference he pulled back because of market fears
Asked by ITV’s Robert Peston whether the 10% tariffs were here to stay, and whether the 25% car tariff could be negotiated down, Starmer said: “Look, I don’t know. We are negotiating and we hope to improve the situation.”
It’s obvious the reason as to why he did what he did today. That still doesn’t change the fact of what his plans behind the tariffs are, beneficial or not
so you're on a 3 day melty because some people laughed at you saying this was about getting concessions from foreign countries that he has yet to get?
Pretending there are negotiations to justify a lunatic deciding to just do things doesn't mean they're negotiations. You need an end goal and there isn't one. You need to come to a resolution on the end goal and there wasn't any. He's a dog chasing cars.
I did pull the trigger this AM so that’s good. But my FA suggested I go in at 3x which was all my cash on hand I could afford to buy in. Felt pretty smuggy about saying let’s wait until next week up until the 90 day pause.
I've given up on trying to apply any sense of fair/unfair to this world, but it's still wild to me that high level elected officials are able to own stocks, let alone trade them like this. Interns at Deloitte have more restrictions than this.
Zimbabwe removed the tariffs on the 43M of goods that they import from the US. A huge win for our big boy.
I missed out on HUNDREDS of dollars due to my purchase not hitting until close. I’ll never financially recover from this
Where’s the other 25% of our 401k’s Trump set on fire? Every Trumper I know gets the same question “Where’s your stupid hat?” until my 401k is made whole. Had hopes of retiring in 2033 at 55.
Of the top 20, 1 was two days after Black Monday in 1987, 2 were during the housing collapse in 2008, 3 were in Covid, todays, and then the other 13 were during the Great Depression.
got a question from someone who doesn't dabble in this world and is, for the most part, financially illiterate could the layperson have made a killing today timing stocks and trading just right (based off of Trump's morning foreshadowing/announcement) or is it purely those in the know?
Yes you could make good money being lucky. But you’ll typically get buzzed sawed if you try to time it even if you have the correct thesis.
I had a chunk waiting to be invested that I'd been hemming and hawing about that I threw in when it was announced but could easily lose today's gains tomorrow
“Liberation Day” was put on a tee for option trading but not an easy thing for someone to understand if you’re not already in the game Swing trading from those lows last week is “fairly” easy
