5. "I so much hate it when the media compares to expectations rather than addressing where it's actually at"

It's the business media "opinions" that drive corporations into the types of behaviors (good or bad) that they engage in. And in many cases, their "assessments" at why the markets go up or down can be laughable, as it's like they pull some excuse out of a hat to try to "explain it".

The importers and wholesalers have generally been "eating" the tariffs and are now starting to reduce their exposure by passing it on (which will eventually get reflected down at the retail levels for the biggest retailers... the small ones have been crashing and burning with them, and some of the smallest ones occasionally get some news coverage).

The markets are also due for a correction again.
