If the public can disrupt their financial predictions and expectations, they will do whatever they have to, to fix that.

Most all caused by Trump's sick policies. Automakers, homebuilders, AI ... all in a funk. I think will be a difficult 3-4 months. As it did on the upside, markets are just trending, meaning just moving to a price and tagging there all day, or edging lower. There is no buying interest on these days.

(From the Detroit Free Press) "According to the sentiment that Cox measures from car dealers, automotive sales were poised for growth in 2025, with strong economic and auto market indicators in the last six months. But tariffs and the potential for a full-scale global trade war are darkening forecasts."

The imbecile is singlehandedly destroying the economy, and Republicans in power are doing nothing.

since Trump admin insiders know when tariffs will be announced and when they will be walked back or changed or whatever. The market reacts. These folks are prepared to buy or sell based on the expected reaction. It should be made illegal if it isn't already.

US stocks fell sharply on Friday as Wall Street grappled with President Trump's escalating trade war and weighed signs of reinvigorated inflation pressures as consumer sentiment plummets.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) gave up 1.6%, or over 700 points, while the benchmark S&P 500 (^GSPC) fell 2%. The Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) dropped 2.7% as tech stocks led the declines.

Who could have guessed that raising prices on imports would raise prices on things people buy?

The Fed is in a pickle now, they probably need to raise rates again once the full effect of Trumpflation hits.

Stagflation is on the way too.

rumpy did in his first term, was to influence the stock market. I don't remember what it was, but he said something, and the market reacted. I think his eyes opened wide at that point, as he realized his power.

I think what he's doing is on purpose, the purpose is to destroy our nation, and that he works for someone else, not us. There is no way that a person with even average intelligence could fail to see the consequences of his policies.

I also think that HE thinks his tariffs will somehow bring Canada and Greenland to their knees. Those two countries are as we speak moving away from us. Mexico is more than willing to fight us. So, trumpy isn't doing us any favors.

This is all for him, and him alone, except for President Musk.

Fri Mar 28, 2025, 02:02 PM

I find it highly suspicious that Trump will say he’s going to do Tariffs, the market crashes. Then he turns around a few days later and says “never mind - we’re not going to do tariffs” or “that we’re going to do it on THIS date, not today” and the market goes up. He keeps on doing this over and over again. Tariffs on, tariffs off. If I had access to Trump, was a big investor, and could hear what he was going say about tariffs that day or week, I would be tempted to time the market and make a bundle with futures/options.we know he’s not the sharpest tool in the shed so is there someone in his ear telling him what to do?
