ELI5: Why is it bad that US bonds go up?
1. Are bonds typically supposed to stay stagnant around the same percentage? 2. Why is the white house spooked that other countries are selling bonds? 3. When other countries sell bonds, doesn't that decrease the yield? 4. Why are some articles saying that bonds are more important than stocks?
Future of the US Market
As a 24 year old, I have just recently gotten into investing. Currently have a 65/35 VTI/VXUS allocation. I was wondering whether the US could truly be losing its power. Other countries could be looking to replace the dollar from the reserve currency. Is it still safe to invest in …

If someone makes money in stock market who "lost" it?
Reading how some of the elite earned a ton of money off the stock market yesterday, but doesn't that mean that an equal amount was lost by others? For example, if someone made $500M yesterday does that mean that some group of people collectively lost $500M yesterday? I'm guessing it …

I'm not a stock person. Can he even enforce this/have the power for this? What will be the immediate effects if he somehow does this? Is it just a "negotiation" tactic with no teeth, or could trump seriously do this?
