The Economy

[PersonalFavors]

Interesting video comparing the “nifty 50” stocks of the 1960s to the “magnificent 7” stocks of today. Extreme concentration of investment in just a few companies with sky-high valuations.

The thing we learn from history is that we don’t learn from history. ️

Looks more like the tech bubble of the late 90's. With the much lower number of over invested stocks the affect on the market will be more muted than before.
As usual with the stock market, keep on your toes. Be ready to act.

Trump’s socialist industrial policy: federal government buying companies.

Trump administration pivots to buying stakes in critical sectors

Authoritarianism creates very weird results.

No word yet on how many people in the Trump administration are profiting from insider trading on these government purchases.

Makes one wonder who else is buying in to some of these companies.

 

[Rightguide]

Typical. If I share articles that support my argument, you insult me.

They hate the truth about the Trump economy.

The involvement in steel prevented foreign ownership in an American company/industry that has been a backbone of our economy.
The purchase of INTC stock was a shot in the arm to hopefully enable the company to recover and continue to remain American owned corporate secrets and technology. While the chip industry isn't what it was it is still a major portion of American ingenuity.
So concerned about America first, where were you on Hilary selling Uranium One technology and ore to the Chinese? Or Bill sharing Jet fighter technology?

Treasury secretary Scott Bessent had the unenviable task of informing Carrot Caligula™ that the United States had been played for fools by both Argentina and China

Leaked text messages from Treasury to Dept of Agriculture above. Someone took a photo over Bessent's shoulder of him texting.

• Argentinian farmers: big winner
• Argentinian government: big winner
• Chinese government: winner
• United States government: big loser
• United States soybean farmers; biggest loser by far

Buffy, you ignorant slut…

This is ALL on DonOld, because it is happening on DONOLD’S WATCH (during DonOld’s SECOND FAILED "presidency"), and is directly related to DonOld’s policies.

That ^ is the standard that MAGAts (like Buffy, etc) have set (of course MAGAts continue to blame President Obama, Hillary, and Hunter for "something" any chance they get, despite EVERYTHING that is wrong in America & the world circling back to some republican fuck up in the past)…

Buffy needs to Deal. With. It.

US stocks closed sharply lower Friday after President Donald Trump threatened to hike tariffs on imports from China, reigniting fears of a trade war that rocked global markets earlier this year.

The Dow fell 879 points, or 1.9%. The broader S&P 500 dropped 2.71% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite slid 3.56%.

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq each posted their worst day since April as a slide in tech stocks led the market lower. The Dow posted its worst day since May. The S&P 500’s drop of 2.71% saw the index shed roughly $1.56 trillion in market value in one day, according to FactSet data.

Trump said in a social media post he is considering a “massive increase” in tariffs on imports from China, adding “There is no way that China should be allowed to hold the World ‘captive’” over rare earth exports.

The 'Pedofile for Peace' threatens to invade Greenland ("We're going to get it. One way or another we're going to get it"), blackmails Ukraine and tries to extort China. All over rare earth deposits that he hopes will lead to bank deposits.

Are you all sick of all that winning yet?

 

[heathrowinneo]

Words have consequences. Threatening tariffs freaked the market out again. That's one day.

The trade war is going to hurt even more with tariff threats and export controls. China controls much of the world's rare earth minerals plus its refining. The tit for tat trade war will hurt American manufacturing, consumers, and make the economy less efficient.

China found other sources for agri products. Rare earth minerals are another matter.

How soon before he walks it back?

Hopefully never and he totally cuts China off so 100 million communist starve to death.

The economy is so bad that “60 Minutes” is dedicating a segment to the stock market bubble, etc.

Probably worth watching…

Probably a good idea to keep an eye on the stock market on Monday…

Excellent reporting on 60 minutes with Andrew Ross Sorkin providing great insights into today and the 1920's. In language and concepts most would understand, hopefully.

 

[Buffalogurl]

Welp after Friday when the Chinese abruptly announced global export controls that triggered the crypto market bloodbath, (500 billion dollars evaporated) 1.9 million crypto accounts were zeroed out ........
As a result the Dutch has seized the Chinese Simi conductor company Nexpiera... out and out stolen from the Chinese, reason offered is national security ......
Now how bout the silver market..... the holders of paper silver are getting mauled ... in a demand for physical metal these fucking market manipulators hopefully will receive everything they so righteously deserve

Mussolini was able to prop up his fascism-based economy for years before it crashed.

The Pig is working at warp speed to crash the U.S. economy. He's much.worse at selling fascism than il Duce.

The shutdown is preventing the release of new economic data, so let’s review the impact of Trumponomics so far.

• Inflation up
• Unemployment up
• Anemic job creation
• Exports down
• Value of the dollar down
• Construction permits and employment down
• Farmers begging for a bailout

All documented in this thread, of course. Donnie’s “golden age” is off to a bad start.

Inflation that's been charging hard for the last 40 years of the US government exercising the fiscal discipline of a 14 y/o girl at the Mall of America with daddies AmEx black card, Democrats cheering the entire way. Literally nothing to do with Trumponomics.

Unemployment up, yup false employment (welfare programs in disguise) got it's funding pulled. GOOD!!! Stopping the lies is step 1 to doing better.

Anemic job creation, all those taxes and regulations Democrats have been piling on for decades....no shit. Communism is hard on small business, who would have seen that comming? Commiecrats sure can't figure it out, they just regulate to regulate, even when it make absolutell no sense.

Exports down, yea without the taxpayer subsidizing consumerism in OTHER NATIONS it's bound to slow

Value of the dollar, been going down since Nixon turned it into monopoly money. A policy modern democrats support with religious fevor despite it's failure....literally nothing to do with Trumponomics.

Construction permits are a local thing and are only a problem to get in blue shit holes that stamp out economic activity everywhere they can't control it.

LOL Farmers that are good enough at their job to not be welfare queens aren't.......they're doing better than ever now that the parasites aren't taking them for a ride anymore.
