But, that’s never stopped the Trumpist before. As long as their gut tells them that they are winning or those they hate are being hurt worse.

The ouroboros is an ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon eating its own tail. It represents concepts such as eternity, rebirth, immortality, and the cycle of birth, life, and death. The word "ouroboros" comes from Greek and means "devouring tail".

If this were Biden in office, the headline news 24 hours a day would be about the economic emergency we find ourselves in.

The media is owned by and works for the billionaire class who installed Trump.

And most people should have some risk mitigated by the blend of their investments, especially those close to retirement age.

My advice, if you're more than 10 years from retirement, just keep investing as usual, do not attempt to time the markets. And you'll be buying value anyways. Ignore most of this.

The far far bigger issue for regular people is the coming job losses. People who are out of work lose a ton more than just a paycheck. They can lose their homes, their marriages, and their savings. And they lose out on buying more for their retirement funds when things are cheap.

is down about 6% year to date. If people were losing their life savings, it would have happened when the market was down 25% in 2022.

Stay the course.

is causing this volatility. The market would be humming along if Trump hadn't screwed it up. Trump is the blame and needs to be held accountable. The only choice any of us peons have is to ride it out. That doesn't make it any easier.

Calling him a “loser”.

Powell says a rate cut is not warranted and must not cave to pressure from a mad man!

They will be soon. Which will jack up the cost of government spending just in time for the Velveeta Vulgarian’s tax cuts to blow the budget to pieces.

Tech Wreck, AI plunge, and in these environments, small caps and even mid cap growth are deer in headlights because of debt, no earnings, poor growth ahead. Valuation matters as they say.

I think a rate cut would boost the market but that would be short lived. Won't fix the supply chain issues that are coming in May.

There will be a clear turning point for SPY eventually. No need to buy before then.

The produce department, in particular, had empty spots where imported fruits and veggies normally are. We buy locally grown when available, but none of it is available this early in the year. Mysteriously, the hydroponic lettuce from Canada is still there and hasn't gone any higher. The store must be taking a loss on that one.

That's a sizeable downfall for no reason whatsoever, other than Trump's stupid trade war.
