The gang that couldn't shoot straight. They have no idea what they are doing. Gambling with our money and people's lives.
Chaos and uncertainty... Jerking the world around.

I don't see the stock market volatility as a bad thing. The markets are only play money until its time to cash out, and wisdom in timing there doesn't bless everyone.

1) I want an economy that is good enough that I have a job.
2) I want the market to be volatile enough that I have buy low sell high opportunities. Unsettling news is the counterpoint to the anticipatory interest rate relief bubble.

If I wasn't a fan of #2 I'd be like my granddad and buy bonds/CDs. Not bond funds. Like actual bonds.

No. There was to be no pause as of yesterday. And they shot all but 2 countries. Even penguins.

We're on opposite sides. As with everything the end is going to justify the means, time will tell. There were some great buying opportunities that's for sure.

I want national security and minimizing dependency on some we should not trust … someone who loves this kind of discord

Dump China. Why is any American against this?

Yeah, that too. And if getting there causes investment volatility, I'm okay with that.

My wife mentioned something about they are seizing all IP, so its fair at this point. Could be a rumor i just made up though.

Who?

Tariffs were put in place in the Heard Island and McDonald Islands. No humans live there; they are inhabited by penguins.

No loopholes just drama
We can go back to this a year from now …

Market volatility is part of the game, but this was a self inflected wound.
What job do you have? Are you at financial risk? If so, now is the time to act. Good luck!

Get our deficit down and China hurting. Invest appropriately

Because some Warlord could do a Cayman Island deal and make their corporate office there. It only takes a desk and a chair .

I know where that is - we setup a duty free area not that far away … Did not take long …

So, "reciprocal tarriff's are back to 10%. Is Canada / Mexico still 25%? Cars are still 25%? China is still 125%, I know that.

Anyone thinking what I am thinking? SQQQ and VIX look tempting. Maybe not immediately - but soon.

I flipped TSLA today because of
the added anxiety of the Elon attacks and the uncertainty of it all.
It gets old..

 

[Vil_Riker]

Short the market long term?

I meant our economic policymakers. But I'm certain some people made tons of money based on insider information that no one will ever know.

I hope you came out of SQQQ unscathed.

Only people that sell when down get wounded. I moved conservative three months ago. Moved back aggressive, yesterday. If it goes down more, I'll sleep fine knowing I navigated a reduced my losses during a 20% inevitable market adjustment. If this is bottom, I'll still sleep fine.

Paper losses are only paper wounds. People get too upset about unrealized losses from unrealized gains. People feeling entitled to 20% annual returns for passive investment strategies can cry their eyes out. Me no care. If you didn't feel like protecting yourself after the >40% rise in two years, those gains were never yours to keep. Those people have seen their portfolio value shrink and are now positioned (as I am) to see it go back up.

It's all a head game for propaganda news and political opposition naysayers. Volatility is good. More volatility is also good.

Job not at risk by powers beyond my control.

I got lucky as a pig. I sold most of my longs and bought SQQQ during the run-up. I should have bought more SQQQ, but not complaining

I’m sure you may be excited that you did not buy more SQQQ
At least not for today tomorrow could be a whole other ball game

Considering buying just a few hundred as a slight hedge

That could really drive up the cost of fish for those penguins. Just having a little fun.

Shorts took more shrapnel today than I have seen in many many years. Simply glorious.
