Tariffs are something that need to be straighten out. We have been paying out the *** to other countries and it's time to make it a level playing field. America need to become a more of a producing country. ​

Agreed

I just play the middle of the road. Never all in or out. It has worked for me. Had the worst down day ever today. Just have to hang in there

I picked up a decent amount/number of stocks this morning with a lot of the market being down 7-9%. I grabbed the following: AAPL, META, GOOGL, O, NU, RL and NVDA. Just about all have moved slightly higher since then. I'll take another look tomorrow and see if there are any more good deals and get more if it makes sense. I'm trying to look several years down the road for potential growth picks that are depressed right now. Also, I'm taking hits on some of my stuff linked to BTC and AI, but they can recover quickly if things get sorted out in next couple of months.

If you can handle your portfolio taking a hit, best to wait it out. Selling now just gets you taxed on dropping assets that you may buy back later at higher prices. Kind of like selling guns to the pawn shop and getting a replacement later.

Here's the 4D chess theory. President enacts tariffs. Market goes down in reaction. Economy suffers.

.
4D chess? You could be right. I hadn’t thought about it but?
Then
President and wealthy Buddies get to BUY back America, into markets, businesses and real estate on the cheap that had become to inflated to buy (from previous profits) then pump them back up and repeat.
Over and over.

Then they become even more wealthy?



Hmm? You know. You could be right.

Will Tariffs bring to light the Biden caused recession that has been ignored for years?

Fair or not, the recession is owned by the administration that is in office at the time that is starts.

Small Cap in general seem to be more vulnerable.
The Large Cap like Microsoft, Apple, Meta, Alphabet, NVidia more often have the cash to ride out the storm.

There is going to be blood in the streets today again today. VIX is up to almost $40. That is up another 33+% last night. Looking for the market to be way down again.
