C2645 talking broken biscuits as usual.

The news of a trade deal with the US is what AML need right now.

I am not saying it will happen but it is more likely than a takeover in the current climate.

Another possible outcome of all this is a free trade deal with the EU. They hate us still for brexit but right now they need any increase in trade they can find.

The possible blocker is the EU then using the UK as a back door to the US.

Well, I spent the afternoon scooping up stocks on the dip. Left enough in cash in case next week has even better bargains.

This is not going to be over quickly, it will be at some point though.

Sigh,

C2645 you really do not get how the world works do you.

Tariffs don't bring in a penny. The importer pays them. The government gets it from the consumers pocket in the end. That adds to the chances of recession.

Yes, he will cut taxes to cover his mistakes but it will just lead to increased debt. It will not override the cost inflation or loss of consumer confidence.

Gdp will drop, further tax income gone on top of tax cuts. Even higher debt.

Loss of international trade = higher debt

Loss of confidence = less investment

It is a doomed plan that will make its opponents in the east stronger politically while the US and its old allies struggle to find their feet

C2645, you are reacting not predicting again.

Missed the boat on gold. It now has more room to fall than rise which equals risk.

You seem to like buying high and selling low 🤣

Trump is right on a few things but going about it in the completely wrong way. Because he is a power crazy ego fuelled wannabe mobster.

Yes, we should all be thinking hard about not fueling China and allowing them to steal intellectual properties. They are using the money to build a war machine.

We the west should all be worried about our manufacturing.

We should be controlling immigration in a way that helps not hinders our future.

The west should be treating illegal drug imports as terrorism.

The answer though is to work together, to plan ahead for achievable timelines. To open up fair and free trading between democracies.

Trump is cretin, his method to achieve will not work. The short term damage will lower the chances of medium term progress while pushing others towards the east.

All the while Putin, a cold, mass killing monster is smiling.

For once I agree with you 😮

What happened to RedRoger the trump fanatic who was adamant no politician can ever affect markets?

Hope he is proud of his man today, countless Trillions wiped off companies and shareholders with the presentation of a gameshow board and 3 year old maths.

They voted in a crazed fat Orange kindergarden kid with ADHD

The world truly has gone mad.

C2645,

Are you simply thick or purposely giving false information.

Stroll has voting rights as he is personally listed as owning the A/B shares.

Do you really think he would be ruling the roost with under 2%.

You really do talk utter crap.

"Thanks for the offer Mr Buffet, I'll text you from a yacht in the Med. :-)"

No problem Roger the cabin boy.

C26"

Deluded. Paranoid. And very very poor judgment. 'C26' and myself are both laughing at you. Thanks for the entertainment!! :-)"

Anytime you need a tenner to save going to the soup kitchen let me know 🤣

C26,

We know you are a bit slow but get it in your head.

The movements on the SP is where money is made or lost.

You blame Stroll for your own error. Winners learn and move on. You cannot

AlphA pretending he isn't C26

Goes to show how out of touch you are .

Buyers are getting younger, yes hard to figure when they not yet put in years of toil but that is how it is.

As I say, it is going to be a difficult spell for AML regardless.

On a more general note though, it is possible we have a silver lining for UK stocks.

A flow of funds out of the US markets and into ours.

@ Wonderfully,

Hallmark is on the ball here. He is focused on the Valkyrie along with performance versions of the other models.

The less traditional market is made up of younger people who desire fantasy supercars.

He wants to tap into that and move away from reliance on the typical US customer.

Admittedly this is now a race against time.

Expect wild performance versions of the existing lineup and a cut price version of the Valkyrie.

It is going to be tough going in the short term though, nobody can doubt that.

Interesting insight.

Maybe this is the calm before the storm, the initial relief at the UK getting 10% not 20%

To my surprise so far I am actually up today. Bailed on my NASDAQ shorts @ 8.5% up on yesterdays purchase.

I think the dust is far from settled but volatility is opportunity here.

C26 talking to the mirror says

"Nobdies care what you think Clothtach. You been proved not correctly by c26 lots so stop talking"

Says the man who lost everything on AML when I made the volatility work.

Face facts C26, you locked the stable door long after the horse was gone. Learn to predict not react.

History tells us, the last time the US really hiked tariffs it was the start of the great depression.

Followed by WW2 😱

There are many possible outcomes from this, the danger though is it brings a hidden weakness to the fore that catches the majority unaware.

If there is a kink in the financial markets armour it is about to be tested.

The way around all this I see is for the rest of the world to rapidly open up free trading between each other.

I think this will hurt the US more. See how long it takes to sink in with Trumps voters

We knew it was coming unfortunately 😒

This afternoon I sold off a lot of stocks with the hope of buying back tomorrow for less.

I also shorted the NASDAQ 100

🤞 its enough to duck the worst.

Going to be a tin hat day tomorrow.

Well, the SP has not faired bad today at all.

Is the market waiting until Trump has reconfirmed tariffs?

Or has the market decided its priced right now regardless
