I thought freedom of movement was bad, hence Brexit? Why not rejoin the EU & do CANZUK and leave the US to decline as they muddle their way through becoming a country where the majority of the population speak Spanish [some are predicting by 2050].

Visualizing Gold Price and U.S. Debt (1970-2023) 📈

Cause and correlation are often confused but the pattern is there and Trump is going to push the US debt way up [he is asking for $5 trillion more but his tax cuts and axing the US economy is likely to cost much more].

'one big drop on the menu'

There I am thinking I might have to buy my spinach from Aldi instead of getting organic from Ocado. A drop like that is like being offered lemon soup for lunch. Speaking of which, it is tomato, butter bean, spinach and red pepper soup for lunch today.

Yes but no... Any used car that needs imported parts is going to be penalised. The bump might be short-lived.

Trump’s tariffs amount to ‘worse than worst-case scenario’ as investors brace for stock-market beatdown

Drudge Report does pick some great headlines... TARIFFYING! lives up to their reputation.

Telling that (a) there seems to be no interest from commercial businesses and (b) that someone has had to stoop so low to find something to ramp from the RNS.

Now the company has good reason to ask shareholders for more money soon - resetting the patent life will cost plenty in legal and professional fees, but it gives the company a whole new 20-year lease of life; the BOD are safe for another decade of placings.

Blue,

Tesla is a meme stock; its fundamentals do not justify the p/e ratio it trades at. BYD is deflating the Tesla bubble... Their autonomous driving system, God's Eye, demonstrates significant advancements in accessibility and capability compared to Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD). And Waymo have beaten Tesla to the autonomous taxi industry and racking up over 25 million fully autonomous miles so far.

What has Tesla got to offer other than a new model; growth has cratered / reversed, Tesla's Full Self-Driving has been beaten by BYD and the taxi hype has been extinguished by Waymo. The p/e ratio [currently over 100 from memory] should probably be in the teens. And if the price dropped to reflect the new reality, Musk would face margin calls on his borrowing secured by his stock. Having Musk as a forced seller would crater the share price...
