All_Pro_Bills Posted April 11 Posted April 11 1 hour ago, Joe Ferguson forever said: They're certainly interested in doing no harm. They didn't impose policies that caused nearly everyone to lose big chunks of their 401k's while simultaneously increasing taxes by $3k through tariffs. Agree or disagree with the tariffs, Trump clearly telegraphed his intentions and provided investors with enough lead time to act. So anybody licking their wounds from losing part of their 401/IRA had ample warning to adjust their investments by selling and parking the proceeds in cash to ride it out or by adding some downside insurance, to hedge, to mitigate the risk of loss. If they did nothing it's their own fault they lost money. That said, I expect nobody wants to hear that message. 1 1

Those two under “retaliated” aren’t Bahrain and Vatican City. By themselves, China and Canada make up a great portion of our imports. I think combined, they’re something like 24% of every import.

Buy and hold, rebalance, use mostly low risk funds is a wise retirement strategy imo. That's where we are. Trying to time trump's whims was a fools errand. Unless you're MTG. Look it up. I don't mind losing randomly from time to time. but having a president bring it on is new one to me.
