Between a Rock and an Orange Man
Trump won't back down from his tariffs until he gets what he wants. He wants to get rid of the trade deficit. Trump believes China and Europe have been very unfair to our manufacturers. Hence, the trade deficit. So, he is willing to let the whole world suffer until he …
Who besides Navarro is advising Trump about Tariffs? Steve Bessent and Stephen Miran
I see a common theme in recent threads -- Who else is pushing these tariffs? One theory is "A User's Guide to Restructuring the Global Trading System" by Stephen Miran. The end goal of this paper is to devalue the dollar by having other countries pin their currency to the …
Apple’s 3-day loss in market cap swells to almost $640 billion
While the stock market broadly fared better on Monday than in the prior two trading days, Apple got hammered once again, losing 3.7%, as concerns mounted that the company will take a major hit from President Donald Trump’s tariffs. The sell-off brings Apple’s three-day rout to 19%, a downdraft that …
I usually look at VIX to find when to buy in. Looks like today is peak?
Usually vix surge like today doesn't come often I think. Seems like today's surge at 60 is really high but closed at 47. 47 is still but high but I doubt that it will be higher than 47 tomorrow. Means sellout like today won't happen tomorrow or this week or …
The White House isn’t just talking—its moves say it all.
Don’t just listen to what they say—pay attention to their actions. Recent moves from the White House suggest this isn’t simply a negotiation tactic; instead, it appears driven by a preconceived notion aimed at a single individual. By focusing on what leaders do rather than what they claim, we can …
Please help me explain to my neighbors how the stock market's serious illness can affect " people who do not have stocks ".
My grandparents were destroyed by the depression. In 1928 they had a velvet couch and jewelry and jobs: By 1933 they nearly starved. I live in an area that worships Mr. Trump. I quietly do not. They really just say ignore TV and the TV news. I am the low …
Why selling amidst tariffs may be a bad idea.
First of all, I'm a zoomer who has just started learning about investing in general, so if my thoughts are incorrect feel free to say it. I think, it's unlikely that prices of shares fall more. Not because the economy isn't fucked, or US companies won't have massive losses due …
Pure market manipulation.
So, futures dumped. Pre-market dumps. The market opens and we continue to dump. We all know what's coming. "Black Monday". There are no dip buyers because nobody wants to catch a falling knife, and everyone else is grinning because they are short (me included). THEN out of nowhere, magically there …
Do investors enjoy Market volatility?
I understand the range of price changes a security goes through over a certain time. If the price stays steady, the security has low volatility. A highly volatile security goes up and down a lot, moves around a lot, and has big ups and downs. I also understand experienced traders …
Stock Market: a reason to be calm.
Right now the S&P 500 is about where it was in March 2024: [https://www.multpl.com/s-p-500-historical-prices](https://www.multpl.com/s-p-500-historical-prices) The total return (including dividends) since last year is positive. Yet the popular media keeps showing pictures of stock traders who look like they want to puke. I think the media is trying to create a …
