Tariffs

Then you ought to be happy with seeing barriers to US exports being reduced.
You think business expensing instead of long term depreciation isn't great for encouraging growth that leads to employment and prosperity is not in line with free market capitalism? You believe lower taxes across the board with increased zero tax rate bracket isn't better than raising all income taxes and a massive raise on corporate business taxes, hurting capital formation, business expansion and employment? Do you not understand low energy prices that democrats hate are essential to business, and save consumers a lot more tan 10% tariff rate costs them.
I'm happy to have the market back for now. I hate like hell that this chimp with cymbals will make decisions that impact our economy for another 3.5 years. I'm still rooting for the cheeseburger to get him and protect my future..
PMA and PBM' s have rigged drug pricing because of multi tier pricing models. The worst kind of shell game for a free market. Forcing pricing transparency on PMA and PBM's would better assist the marketplace. Congress has failed to act on legislation for decades.
The barriers created by _____? You don’t get points by “fixing” your own crisis with what amounts to a half measure.
The impact of tariffs fully negates the cuts in Trump’s plan for lower and middle payers.
“The lowest-income households would see an average tax cut of about $120, or 0.6 percent of their after-tax income. Middle income households would see their taxes fall by about 1.7 percent of after-tax income, or about $1,300 on average. In contrast, the top 1 percent would get an average tax cut of more than $100,000, or nearly 5 percent of their after-tax income.”
Considering that oil and gas companies were not constrained over the past few years, we’ll see on that. Prices are still about the same now as they were last year.
I filled up at 2.30/gal this morning sport. That is huuuge for low income workers, many of whom have to drive a good way to work and truly negates any 10% tariff. Those electric bill sthat skrocketed under your hero will come down. Huge deal. Now some of the decrease has been from panic of a softer economy. However there is a huge emphasis on energy production and gutting of over regulation of production and transfer of energy. It will.moderate increase in energy costs as economy gets heated up.
Now who knows what tomorrow brings but only a fool does not realize this is a big step forward and towards clarity. Even you far lefties understand that surely.
Each country knows that they have to make some concessions to get our most favored status in 10% tariff on imports.
The market is up for the year and suspect will go higher. I'm looking for 7 to 12% gains now for broad market. That's what I'm most interested in but would settle for less if they would make deeper cuts in entitlements in out years or top earners recieving benefits.
Tell the low income people to move to your area then. It’s $2.89 in KC. About what it was last year and the year before.
Chart says nationally it's 3.22 al while last year was 3.75 on same day (Nationwide with people's republic of California, Illinois etc.
50 cents a gallon and falling seems a big deal for a product that is essential and need it when you are nearly out rather than checking the internet and Amazon for best price on that imported trinket you want.
Since 2020, the Nasdaq 100 has surged 151% on a total return basis vs. the S&P 500's 97%. Over the 10-year period ending Dec. 31, 2024, it delivered an impressive 447% return vs. the S&P 500's 242%. Since its inception, the index surged approximately 20,000%, equating to an average yearly return of 14.25%.
Not everyone drives and gas prices are constantly in flux and subject to market forces. The government can set taxes. I’ll take the thing we can control every time.
Then why were you screaming like a mashed cat? I suspect you didn’t own the QQQs or the broad basket of nasdaq but bet on a handful. If works out for you great. If you had the Nasdaq in 2000, it went down75 %. It was 2014 before it was back to 4200 where it was in March 2000. It’s about risk and reward generally. That hasn’t changed.
Because its bad policy and totally self-inflicted by a man that didn't talk to anyone in the business world regarding how his tariff scheme would impact business and the world..... It's terrible policy. He should own it. He wants to be praised when he implements good policy... he should take it on the chin when he implements bad policy. Why do you defend his pi$$ poor policies?
If you're comparing the NASDAQ 100 to your the NASDAQ of 2000.... its just further proof you have no idea what you're talking about.
I do love how all of the "bring manufacturing back" narratives have now gone back to "it was all a negotiating plan in the first place".
Throw in the "tariffs are going to make us rich" stupidity, and you have proof of 2 things:
1. The admin has no plan whatsoever and the only thing they excel at is creating chaos
2. The cult will support whatever their masters tell them to. Usually it will be 2 diametrically opposed facts within a 24 hour period

One of us invested through it and has made way more than most including myself ever dreamed of thru hard work and good luck.
My hay is in the barn kid. I wont be looking to a whiny pup that thought his stock could not fall for any reason or no reason,for market history or advice. One of my best tools has been procrastination. Dont do something stand there. I didn't like Trump's approach and it may not work perfectly but seems to have market convinced he's going to get the jalopy out of the ditch with no damage that was suspected in early April. There is always something...this is just another surprise.
Broad market is where it started the year. If one thinks being even after 4.5 months after a Vshaped bottom recovery is the worst thing they will face over their investment life and continue to bitch, they perhaps are not suited to the stock market investing and ought to perhaps consider cds.
But rave on, I'm sure Trump will hear you.
You do realize that when oil goes below $55 you are going to have another wave of oil and gas bankruptcies in the US and will increase our energy dependence on the areas that fund our terrorist enemies?
Of course you don't, because you would have to admit that your master isn't really about American energy independence. He's about enriching his family and his wealthy friends while you carry his water and rejoice at his every lie.
Eh I never bought into the idea we would be making the hot Christmas toy here. I do think steel and aluminum are going to survive where they were headed way of dodo bird. I think you will see quite a bit of onshoring of pharmaceuticals, semis and autos due to a combo of tariffs and tax policy in that big beautiful bill that's coming. Pretty cool eh Hink?
You are still trying to reason with the genius investor? lol
The US has almost zero bauxite reserves which is one of the key inputs to create primary aluminum. It doesn't make any sense for us to import all of the raw materials we need to produce aluminum just to say we are producing aluminum. We share our largest border with Canada, they produce primary aluminum very cheaply with their abundant hydro energy and we import that primary aluminum to create things of higher value and sell them.
This is why people who actually research and understand how economies work in 2025 keep telling you MAGAs that there is no plan here.
We are now going to pay more to import those raw materials, pay more to create the primary aluminum, and thus lose much of the value add manufacturing and assembling to cheaper countries.
This is just chaos for chaos sake.
Oil was 63 and rising because of a likely strong economy after the Chinese talks. I dont see 55 or a string of bankruptcies anytime soon. I just see a plan to keep growing our fossil fuel production as we are going to need a lot more than ever before to provide the economy we desire and win the ai race. If it hadn't been for Trump's 1st term we would be a few million barrels behind where we are now. The decent regulations and leases come well before production. Biden spent 4 years trying to kill new leases and add regulations. It will take a good while to gear up and 65- 70 dollar oil will make it worthwhile . Its about the future sport not that stupid zero emissions quest you freaks see as your guiding star.
None of what you said about the oil and gas industry under Joe Biden is true. Rig count has been falling since your hero took office, and his deals in the middle east and OPEC increasing production is not going to raise oil prices.
You won't listen to facts and logic because your masters tell you that facts don't matter anymore, so you will just figure it out after it happens and then wonder why "drill baby drill" never happened.
Noranda had a plant at New Madrid ..for decades. Great jobs if could stand heat and huge economic benefit to community. They moved to Mexico for cheaper labor. I think it would be better if they were there paying taxes in Missouri, hiring Missourians and kicking out aluminum in the middle of tge country should need to gear up and use emergency orders to send to military use. YMMV as a globalist.
You've been playing that tune. All Biden did was set acreage aside from leading, make regulations hindering the even construction of roads into a site for test wells. They made it terribly difficult to transport finished product via pipeline. He totally shut down new exports of gas. He didn't even know he did it a week later when talking with Speaker of House. Your far lefties that ran the place did all they could to kill future of fossil fuels The Biden EPA was a cesspool of fraud that is being uncovered by the current EPA director . Don't be a lying weasel, it doesn't become you.
LOL - nice MAGA response based on feelings and then closing with the "globalist" comment meant as a derogatory.
You didn't address a single FACT I posted that we don't have the raw material input reserves needed to actually make aluminum, the fact that other countries geography gives them advantages in power needed to create the aluminum, nor an acknowledgement that we consume the primary aluminum to create products that will now be much more expensive based on all the factors above.
Perfect illustration of a MAGA. No facts, only feelings and screaming MERICA!!!!
This is why all of this short term "winning" you are celebrating isn't going to fix the stupidity of the people running this country and why I still expect the Trumpcession to be firmly in place in Q3.
I get it. You globalists want no emissions, no fossil fuels, no manufacturing, no military construction, just open borders windmills and welfare.
More lies from someone that just doesn't care about the truth and only cares about being loyal to his masters.

You make a lot of assumptions to protect stupidity.... I'll make one now ....You're probably not even worth a million dollars....One of us invested through it and has made way more than most including myself ever dreamed of thru hard work and good luck.

Do you actually understand how little a million in net worth would be to anyone beyond 50?
Nothing... I'm assuming because of your crappy investment advice that changes with the Presidents farts that you're not that smart...
You talk about 2000 like it wasn't 25 years ago...
After Trump lost the Trade War, I don't have much confidence he'll be able to lead us to victory in the AI race. Whatever, advantage we had will probably be squandered by these MAGA Clowns, just like they've squandered our economic advantage.
"Globalists" is such a dumb label in the above usage. What does that make you? Someone who ignores the global nature of trade in the 21st century? A disbeliever of easily observable facts?
Or is "globalist" a code word?
Yes a code word for dumb fvcks that want borders wide open to bring in illegals from around the GLOBE to hopefully turn them into dependent class of democrat voters ...and fight like hell to keep everyone they urged in illegally including child rapists, gang members and murderers. If the shoe fits.. wear it proudly .
You love it when Trump uses tax payer money to bring in white immigrants from Africa while kicking out the Afghans that helped our soldiers in Afghanistan.
Just break free man, use the N word, make sure everyone knows that white is the only color that matters in this country. Be proud that you hate brown people.
Nah, we’re getting back to making America great by increasing the white population and getting rid of brown people.
Celebrate the white winning!!!!!
