Bloomers_Blower

Lucky you are aware the tariffs are trifling relative to the amounts western governments fleece out of tax payers. They routinely take half the middle classes income in direct and indirect taxes but you think that's ok. A tariff is just a tax fyi.

==========================

Bloomers I am sorry for the taxes you have to pay but is not my fault.

Beside, it seems that some here are not fully realizing, the implication of Trump's tariff and worst retaliation from other countries etc.

I read about a world financial reset happening, and unfortunately in slow motions with lots of unpredictability from a mad man in charge.

Many people will re-enter the market to see stock prices going even lower, and although Monday coming there could be a bounce back up in the market from oversold (all depending on if Trump keep quiet and if Europe don't follow China retaliation-very unlikely) I read that it will keep going down. Q1 earning coming will be decent, but earning projection will be revised down and the market won't like it. With Trump in charge for another 4 years, and the economy deterioration this will be painful. People like Trump? Are you a billionaire? Because it seem to me that all he has done is to put in charge a dozen of billionair to various US department. I like Trump only because of the opportunity he created to re-enter the market at very cheep levels, but as a person I think he is a psychotic failed businessman, which now has the chase to do favours to multi billionaires with the hope to get something in return.

Where the money will come from?

This is why Trump is pushing Powell to ease rate aggressively, next will be printing, with high inflation and civil unrest.

Also, many industries are freezing investments and even laying of staffs, any restart of economies due to maybe tarif agreement, will have a covid-19 effect, with prices and inflation even higher.

Very much worth listening to.

Very risky to buy in now...imo. Any rise will be sold, fundamental not a factor when so much uncertainty out there.

Many negative news flow sill to come, like the Chinese retaliating with 34% tarif just dropped "5 on the Dow.

I am looking at gold holding up above 3000, especially after strong NFP, if that happens, looking for cheaper gold miners.

Patience required.

Much hotter than expected, given the tariffs and reactions, like Chine retaliating with 34% tarifs, I suppose, NFP is a non event.

Still will be interesting to fear what Powell think about it....

..yes sure it was all planned. lol

Donal is now talking to re-look at tariffs if the deal with Tick-talk is sorted...or something like that..

Farcical. I did say (and you can laugh about it as much as you like) that Donald is a Gemini star sign, which ruling element is "Air".

Air by nature is volatile and this is reflected, in the behaviour of anyone born unders this element. Of course to be more precise one needs to know some more details like, Trump full birth chart, but his way to go about things, is typical of someone volatile changing his mind very quickly. Another one like this was/is D. Cameron, although he is a libra (still air)..you see where I am getting here...

Air sign have many qualities and are fantastic socially and great friend among other thing, but when it comes to leadership......haaaaaaaa. Total chaos, unpredictability and in the end probably, they will be overpowered by any stronger figure behind them. In the case of Cameron was the Tory backbenchers, in the case of Trump booooo.

Question is, will the market get used to Trump hot-air talks and re-set it self or is it going to be choppy for 4 years? I mean at one point even a child will stop listening to this clown?!

Sorry, nice guy, but just in the wrong job.

Well EU and China have already talked about retaliation, is going to be difficult to do a U turn now.

This will cause more negative in a stock market, that had gone too far and too high.

Was this an artificial reset ?!

I will be interested to read about if actually are effective these tariffs, ie if cash is actually coming in the US treasury coffins.

Not to be polemic Eightyeight88

but Powell job could be left in the hands of an AI computer program, which would do a better job.

In fact many politician job could be automatized there days, especially in finance and treasury

And yet...with the tarif saga they managed to have the same effect of possibly 0.5% rate drop.

US 10YT bill now below 4%, hence US debit repayment getting lower.

Win win situation, more money coming in from tariffs and less debit repayment.

Hummm USD down more than 2% and yet Gold down, correction ?

Is panic out there, mid long terms Gold will shine even more, but for now ....where is the bottom.

On physical/cash gold is it 3000, wishful thinking?

Still even if gold holds, gold stocks may want to correct further, good entry point coming for mid/long term.

DYOW

Is not just PAF, all gold stocks are more or less in a limbo right now.

Awaiting Trump tariffs on Wednesday

-------------------------

trump, bring it on pleeese.

this is a great move, decoupling from the cowboys.

russian cheap energy, chinese technology and canadian raw materials, in exchange for our cultural heritage and diversity, tourism and high end products.

is not going to happen tomorrow, but given the dynamics its happening pretty fast.

if only europe had a well defined leadership.......but will happen.

me thinking, even if trump realise that is ****ing up with his ****** rhetoric,

his ego and his prima donna persona, will stop him short to do a u turn, on suicidal policies.

super invested in honk kong tech.

Trump is an uneducated cowboy, that will ruin USA economy.

His nature of mind-changing and u-turning (he is a Gemini zodiac-air sign are mostly like that) not so good for the market which need stability and certainty. With his lack of diplomacy, though stance and frankly counterproductive policies, he will make the whole world les and less dependent, from USD and US made goods and services. All round too arrogant for me; The Chineses, like Buddha are seating on the river bank waiting for the USA cadaver to flow pass by. Immagine the USD devaluing and at the same time loosing the world currency status?! Need the EU to join BRICS soon, pleese. The BRICSE, a la frances...

I hope you do well. Would be worth adding an English night class too.

============

Done that Sam, is just that some time I don't like to pay attention to details.

Beside rather sleep at night....

Me I explain.

I studies Psychology and am actively researching, anything to do with the mind, among other subjects.

Just, come across a recent research, (on sadism) which explains that, when we allow our self to watch violent movies, or videogames, or keep the company of sadistic, malign people, or listens to violent aggressive music. And for that extent also follow news on tv, about war etc. Our brain memorized all those info; what happens next, is that we might dream about those experiences, even if we didn't live them in first because our subconscious believe anything we see, think and assimilate. When we dream these violent events, if we are not able to remember those dreams, those acts of violence and sadism are wired and bounded even more strongly in our subconscious, for then become second nature, even if we are not really violent people. Hence, is wise to be aware of what kind of experiences we chose to have, in everyday life.

This is especially true, for children and young people.

Just my opinion, I see gold price going back to 2970ish. Is likely 3000 is a too strong resistance for now....

DYOW

Another possible reason is M. Wace closing their short.

Maybe but shouldn't have been closed, at 38ish time of the sp drop, for then a sp move much higer?
