Being against Implementing across-the-board tariffs - which conveniently skip Russia and North Korea by the way - is deliberately obtuse? Pardon?

This is the part I'm in agreement on. I stand by the fact that tariffs needed to happen. The strategy they are taking to calculate them and how they are implementing them, makes very little sense. It's like taking a shotgun to the problem - spray and pray.

100%. If we want to make some strategic changes I don’t think anyone - including Democrats - would have a problem with it.

The current plan is like taking a splinter out in your thumb via a sawed off shotgun.

This is all deliberately obtuse. You can jump to arguments about why, what's beneficial, or who's importing/exporting more, but the basic fact is that, at least prior to 2025, our exports are tariffed 2x the rate of what our imports are.

That is a significantly slanted market.

You don't have to love the current actions or think that they're specifically being taken because of that, but if you can't acknowledge it, then I don't put any stock in your analysis or evaluation of the situation.

I would say this comment in response to my reply is probably the thing that's deliberately obtuse. It's fine if you don't want to answer the question...I don't really care, lol.

This was way overdue. Blame boomers along with admin treating covid like it was 2008. We will be fine. I'm licking my chops picturing myself buying the dip. Gonna be an absolute freesale on some stocks over the next month or two.

This board is just a reminder that the only thing that stands in the way of Republican voters endorsing far lefty policy is a Republican endorsement.

So much this. There is SO much money to be made in the market right now.

Inflation is going to tick way up by the summer.

It’s going to be a shit show across the entire economy.

Short term inflation comes with tarrifs. Again, we will be fine.

But hey, cheap stocks amirite?

The people that are going to get hurt the worst won't have money to pay for their cost of living, much less and buy some discounted QQQ.

Short-term my ass.

When I hear reshoring textile and manufacturing from 3rd world countries, I certainly don't think "short term" price increase, lol.

Gap: “What do you mean I can’t pay American workers $1.50/hr?!”

No way to know this, and if the goal to bring manufacturing back home is successful that will absolutely lead to higher prices long term for the average consumer. I get it the average tPBer will be fine and invest and come out making money. This likely hurts the average American long term

 

[Red Dog]

Why spend a shit ton of money moving manufacturing to the US over two years when I can just wait four years and not have to deal with Trump anymore?

We'll see. It will tick up for sure but I'm not sure it will be as bad as it seems. I've seen quite a few projections over the last few weeks of what the predicted implications of specific tariffs will do to inflation and they aren't THAT bad (I work in the finance industry so these are coming from very large institutions). Companies are still making a shit load of money and will continue to, even with the tariffs. There is around $7 Trillion in cash in the US right now, with a ton of it waiting for a buying opportunity like this. I can go on and on about why we will be fine and a lot of it has nothing to do with tariffs.
