I sold most of my stock but the small amount that I kept in have crashed except for my one Latin American stock - which went up. I did it the day Trump got elected. A lot of dumb investors were excited, thinking that Trump would throw regulations out the window. You just needed to hear his ideas….
He's planning to sell US government agencies to the highest bidder. Anything that can make Americans believe there was so much waste and corruption it was the only thing he, the president, could do to save us
Hey Jack, thanks for all of your hard work. I just published this article which is going pretty pretty strong on Substack. If you like it, it would be great to help get it more views. 🙏💙
Picture This:
This week the CFO and CEO and BOD of a major automotive maker had meetings on what to do with 25% tariffs.
Layoffs? Stop production? Cut out 3rd Shift. Fire employees? Raise Prices?
Then Trump brain farts and changes his mind.
Now the Top Brass STILL does not know what to do.....
....because they know Trump is unreliable and not an honest negotiator. He reneges. So they are still trying to decide if ANY action needs to be done. In the back of EACH of their minds is this thought. "Are we better off moving all our operations out of the USA where things are much more stable"
Business are not interested in the whims of a mad dictator. They exist to make a profit. When something interferes with that, drastic measures are taken.
ANY major company is safer in China than here because there they at least know the rules. Here? Rules change with every social media post.
Also, Biden’s economy was rocking when he left office. I imagine, in Trump’s disturbed, small, and petty mind, he intends to burn it all down so he can build it back up.
Also, given just that would seem to execute the 25th amendment.
Problem is, these tariffs have nothing to do w/fentanyl. That's just the 'emergency' excuse Trump needs to act unilaterally. He's testing the waters, to see how tariffs fly w/public & markets (not well, it seems). https://x.com/RichardClip/status/1886158630208045086
I’m guessing if someone were able to find out which Trump associates sold stocks around the times he announced his tariffs and then changed his mind, it would make alot of sense
Agent orange couldn’t pass economic 101. What a pathetic situation for the usa to be in and not one person fighting back that’s making a difference. When will the american people wake up?
That’s the expected result. Most businesses value predictability. The oligarchs, on the other hand, love the chaos because they have so much money that they aren’t dependent on a steady flow of income. They’re more interested in the opportunity to grab more assets at fire sale prices.
