Tariffs...what to make of them.

LOL...omg, this is so great
Man, I heard for an hour last night how Tarriffs will cure everything....you have an itchy ass? WE HAVE A TARRIFF FOR YOU!
Of course, someone had to tell shit for brains....Excuse me MR. President....everything Ford, GM and stellantis use to make cars comes from Canada/Mexico (think Gordon Lightfoot and the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald) You will wipe these companies out ASAP...and they like employ people and shit.
What is also left out of this....the big three use union labor to build cars....and union busting tactics that trump and musk love is why many of their cars are built in canada/mexico to begin with. Moving all production back to the US will mean more union labor, which will make the big 3's cars more expensive. Which hey im fine with, I want all our cars built in the US....however, that means the big 3 have to complete with Honda/toyota, etc....who also build all of their cars in the US, but with non union labor. So one way or another, there is going to be a competitive disadvantage for the big 3.

Why? he put a Russian mole in charge CIA.
I did for 30 years. Now, just riding and skiing. What's the point of the question?
Does the market count in this equation? If I'm answering my own question, I would say that yes most of us have something at stake here. As many on this board are creeping towards retirement, this is a real thing. A 4-year dip in all these investments will take years to recover from.

Watching CNBC DOW implied opening around 400 down. Listening about to much uncertainty with unemployment job losses in the next few months could be anywhere between 50k and 650k. They talked about 3 causes DODGE Bag cuts, tariffs and ancillary jobs.

Seeing the discussion circle back to tariffs, which are now once again being paused because of the market (and reality). Indeed, hitting 65 this year and looking at medicare, my retirement investments in the S&P, mutual funds, savings, etc and it is quite concerning to me and my family. If tRump lasts the whole 4 years, and I wouldn't count on it, I'll be well into full retirement and living on a fixed income. It's make or break time now. Lucky me....

Me too, man. I retired last year and just started taking SS. Stocks only make up 25% of my retirement savings, but they're already down by the amount that I would have pulled out for the year. Not the end of the world yet, but it does affect my withdrawal strategy.
This kind of volatility benefits nobody except day traders and short sellers. Makes me wonder if any of Trump's circle are getting insider info to trade off of before he goes public. Now thanks to DOGE we have fewer people at the SEC to keep an eye on such shenanigans.
No need for insider info to know how stocks are heading. Praying I'm wrong, but trump hasn't failed me yet.

I was thinking hedge fund buddies but that's cool, too. Again, for the record, I'm an independent centrist. I don't have posters of Nancy Pelosi or any other politicians on my wall. I would not shed a tear if she got caught insider trading and sent to prison.
