Rules for radicals, accuse the enemy of what you're doing, it keeps them off balance. An entire party or the members of that party display one set of characteristics? Seems well thought out.
Trump_is_Mentally_fit Posted Friday at 03:34 PM Author Posted Friday at 03:34 PM CNBC: U.S. stocks fell on Friday as investors grappled with ongoing tariff uncertainty and digested key inflation data. The Dow Jones Industrial Average traded 590 points lower, or 1.6%. The S&P 500 lost 1.6%, and the Nasdaq Composite shed 2.2%. The major indexes traded lower after a report on consumer sentiment for March slightly missed expectations, as inflation expectations reach multidecade highs.

I believe today's sell off was about the PCE number coming in hotter than expected. Being what's been stated, the Feds favorite indicator of future inflation the market experienced the consequences of a new expectation of fewer rate cuts. Fact is the markets are one big speculation on the number and size of Fed rate cuts rather than a proxy for economic activity. Why else do stocks growing at single digit rates trade at huge multiples. There's severe overvaluation problem that will eventually be resolved with either lower rates and higher profits or lower PEs and lower stock prices.

You just want it to be about Trump so bad to the point of an obsession that your mind can't process or consider alternatives or other factors. Its hatred driven by pure emotions. 1 2

It's been priced in for months. Did you see the weakness yesterday at the end of the session (prior to PCE?). We will be red in April, I expect at least another 6-7% down in the S&P. All of which is just stocks, but at the end of the day the biggest thing impacting stocks is speculation of future market conditions and economic activity. Right or wrong the markets wanted to extend this bull run further at the $610 high for SPY. But even the risk adverse wall street bros can't toss cash into this burning pile. Did you read the outlook from Lululemon from yesterday? Nobody is projecting growth. Everybody is complaining about higher costs and concerns with tariffs. Inflation + reduction in disposable income is on the menu, which the economy was managing, but the Tariffs will tip it over and we are already seeing it.

Trump clarified his auto Tarrif Wednesday. That IS the reason. The market was rallying until the announcement. Since that point it’s sold off to near lows on the year.

All true but this on again off again trade policy only adds fuel to the fire. Markets hate uncertainty. An on/off tariff policy fuels panic, panic fuels selling, and selling brings lower prices. Can't wait for Trump to use our tax money to "bail out" farmers again who never asked for it to begin with.

It’s not “markets” that hate uncertainty…it’s money. Bank money, investor money, corporate money, consumer money….no one wants to invest or spend while the 💩 for brains crew is at the wheel. 2

Trump_is_Mentally_fit Posted yesterday at 01:37 PM Author Posted yesterday at 01:37 PM President Donald Trump’s 25% tariff on foreign-made vehicles and parts stands to raise prices on vehicles by thousands of dollars, according to industry economists and other analysts. Sticker prices are already near record highs — just shy of $50,000 on average, Cox Automotive. A record number of buyers are delinquent on their auto loan payments, according to Fitch Ratings. Tariffs threaten to raise prices by around $6,000 per vehicle on average, according to Cox Automotive. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/29/why-tariffs-could-push-car-prices-even-higher.html Trump could care less
