That is exactly what I think. They saw that Terry Gou was able fool Trump easily with his $10 billion investment in Wisconsin. So they multiplied by 10 and repeated. Pretty clever but maybe DOGE will sort them out.
Whatever happened to Wisconsin taxpayer money in that investment btw? Did anyone get harmed or was it all just good fun?
You still stuck in your childhood memories of eating crayons and farting? 
At least we are getting higher grocery and egg prices, so something’s are increasing…
That’s just the stock market. He’s done the same for crypto and USD and made many many people unemployed. Winning!!
Trump coin is down what, 85%?
That’s not really an answer , but I suppose it is in a way.
I’ll keep an eye out for those foreign steel manufactures schlepping over the USA tho.
It’s happening outside the US
MmmmmmmmmmmmmMAGA!
In normal governments we call this a conflict of interest. Trump isn’t normal, nor is Musk. Openly doing this and telling everyone to essentially fuck off, but with kindergarten name calling brought back into the rotation. Classy all the way…
How it started; how it’s going.
The term “Bro Bubble” used here was apparently coined by the Bank of America.
Guy
Oh no! We’re still up from the election pop! 
Any smear is a good smear. 
Guy is doing different things than the last guys handlers. Why wouldn’t the market adjust to it? Dumb money always sells at the first sign of trouble . Smart money’s buying now.
Unless Trump has broken the entire economic system!
It’s not looking good at this point in time.
I’m long run, so panic selling isn’t an issue. I don’t have cash to buy, but I hope you do well with buying now.
The market’s usually smarter than politicians, but time will tell.
It’s looking different. He’s doing different things. Tariffs are messing around with people heads and the way things have been done for a while. Also the whole made in America thing is interesting. As is the energy build out that we need in the US.
It’s fascinating to watch and fun to be a part of— well, as you say, more so if you have cash. 
But long term, I’m fine with dividend Reinvestment. And the speculative quantum darlings are as glorious as grandchildren walking for the first time and bumping into the turntable .
If you can’t enjoy this market, you’re working under the wrong assumptions, like for example, recessions are bad.
But you’re in bonds. You’re fine! Bond. Government bonds!
I’m going to go out on a lomb and point out something obvious to all of us in actually improt/export and manufacturing. The stock market figures mean fuck all. Trump is making his friends bank. Almost guaranteed. On these types of scales they are able to weather the Strom. This is much like the covid fiasco where the big bottles totally fucked the small business. This sibhapening again right jow, just a different narrative and a different mouth peice. It is for sure easy to weather this, moving a factory across a border is fucking simple. Might take 2 years, but it’s easy. China has been doing this for over. Adecade and proving that it’s just this simple. Also proving no kne actually cares, the puppet in chief just wants credit. Which he is no doubt getting.
People thinking this slight down turn in the stock is the end of trump, lol. No fuckign way, it’s how the game goes. It will rebound. New lines will be drawn, and after the midterms you will see trump take credit for everything as the upswing.
We need to be less naive, and by that be more long term thinkers. Not always about this quatlrter. Or even year. That’s how they so easily manipulate the masses… it’s frustrating to watch when everyone should already know better. It’s not novel anymore, nor is it secret. It’s overtly obvious…
I’m 50:50 bonds/stocks.
What’s it good for (generally), beyond concentrating wealth?
The issue with a lowered stock market like this correction caused by companies uncertainty on what is actually happening… Is the American consumers sees their net worth going down so will spend less money to be safe, less consumption is what really hurts the US economy
And if we go from a correction to a recession then the economy would really hurt
Weeding out unprofitable or unworkable businesses. Most fail, you know. Some are replaced by better ones.
You can’t have endless growth.
Sure, but what I was hinting at is that’s all speculation. Whereas actual infrastructure and proper metal to the ground manufacturing tell a far more sturdy story. It’s not that the stock market doesn’t influence, sadly it does. But there are far deeper roots that prop up a country or economy. With this in mind, I am guessing trump is fine fucking the speculation market because he knows it won’t tank the country. Everyone’s definition of “tank”, may well be different. But my guess is he feels this can rebound and he gives zero fucks about say a 2008 level recession. And I agree, on economics. It will likely play out similar, and rebound. Where I have problems is that this type of immature society constantly doing this is completely unethical. That’s basically USA in a nutshell though, innit.
