The winey yellow piece of shit is going to have to eat a big fucking plate of crow and stop being a vindictive little school yard bully and just realize that his job is not to spend all his time trying to get even with everyone that may have offended his fragile ego. What a complete cluster fuck

Shrinkage. It's called shrinkage when the markets decline. Also applicable to many members if congress.

Irony in action:
- Trump only cares about tariffs because they are a way to enable tax cuts for the rich by offsetting a bit of the cost, but …
- The threat of Trump’s tariffs is stomping the stock markets, which are where the rich store much of their wealth.
If you thought the GOP-led stock market crashes and bank runs of 1929 and 2008 were bad, you ain't seen nothin' yet.
This time a Russian asset and his brainwashed followers are deliberately crashing the American economy in a way that is irrevocable.

More unintended consequences! Trump’s capitulation to Russia and his tariff threats have driven investors from the US stock markets to Europe.

The VIX index, the measure of stock market volatility, hit its third highest number in the past year (29) yesterday.
20 and below - "all is calm"
21 to 29 - "storm's a-comin!"
30 and above - "we are all fucked".
previous higher spikes were two-day spasms, first the day that President Biden announced he would not run for re-election and second when Trump announced DOGE. This one is worse, it's been a daily upward grind for two weeks, as the market slowly realizes that 'Elon und der Felon" are systematically removing all the guardrails from democracy. Fun times ahead and only a matter of time before the puppet president invokes the Insurrection Act.

Hello Rob, if you know the VIX then you know the market ebbs and flows and right now there are some market opportunities...like Crown Castle (CCI) trading around $97 with a 52 week range $84-$120; PE at 14 with a dividend of $6.26, if you have some money on the sideline then there are some pretty decent opportunities brought on by uncertainty. My spirit animal is Warren Buffet and he once said something along the lines of...when others are afraid be greedy, when others are greedy be afraid. We can't control Washington, but we can take advantage of events. Not to mention, the US stock market tends to recover and move in a positive fashion...so swoop in and pick up a solid company or two. Cheers!

I recall youe spirit animal sold two-thirds of his massive holding in Apple (I believe he WAS the largest individual shareholder via his Berkshire Hathaway) after der Pumpkinhead Führer was elected in November.
This proved very prescient given how bad the latest release of Siri was this year ('now powered by Apple Artificial Intelligence!").
Some sports podcaster asked Siri "Who won the Super Bowl (insert number from 1 to 55 sequentially"....Siri's failure rate on the answer was a whopping 66%!
Still a few bugs in the system.
Trump bailed on the 50% tariff tantrum he had today, I doubt the 25% one even happens tomorrow. Ford crushed him, and the Markets ground him up. It must stick in his craw, getting beat up by a lightweight like Canada.Welp, even the reports of the Ukrainians agreeing to a framework for a ceasefire couldn’t lift the markets…
Not good…
We. Told. Them. So.
I'm sure he'll have something to rally up his base tomorrow though...maybe it's that EV he just bought, after denigrating EV's for a couple years....
Since derpy's gone into hiding I couldn't resist this blast from the past...
Will Trump beat his own record from Feb 27th, 2020?

The stock market could finally disappear and be gone forever around the same time we dump all political parties as wastes of resources.
LOL a reset in the new Global financial system REQUIRES the stock market to be crashed! What dont you all understand about that? Say it with me... Bye bye FIAT DOLLAR! Hello GOLD BACKED DOLLAR! March Madness , and to think it hasnt even started yet!

There is not enough gold in existence to support our economy. What part of that do you not understand?
