Correct. He who creates or eliminates the FUD, usually wins.
Dow futures drop 600 points after Trump hits Canada, Mexico and China with tariffs
- Thread starter dgordo
- Start date
Hi, I was just wondering as a savvy, prepared investor, what moves did you make in preparation for the Trump Tariff Tax?
How is your significant portfolio handling today's dysfunction?
JUST KIDDING part deux!! Congrats to everyone who made money with all of that Trump FUD.
Is Elon walking into the Oval Office bigly mad because Ontario says no thanks to that Starlink deal for $100,000.000.00? ( thats $100 million dollars for the Trumpers because I know how ya'll are on place value 
)
)
I still have a 3.36% return from 01/2025 - yesterday. 19.61% over the last 12 months.
Oh the fun has only just begun! Lots of money flowing with these wild swings.
Get another job...when the deportation is finished, there will be millions of jobs available.
MAGA

HBOT is going to slap 69% tariff on OPs mom

He is what he posts. He is an underemployed divorced guy who is economically vulnerable. He hates government workers so my guess is he’s ex DSM or Polk County fired because he harassed women. He’s posted about harassing women at work, and he really hates women.
Ended down 122 points. Only because Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo sweet talked him into pausing the Mexico tariffs when the Dow was eating shit and down over 600 points this morning.
I did the same but now I wish I had just stayed put. The market just keeps going up despite inflation news, tarriff wars, and now Deere reporting losses.
I suspect it’s going to be a volatile market in 2025, regardless of who the president was.
Losses that were accrued and experienced on jo biden's watch.......just like that $400,000,000 Tesla contract!! 🤡
Ironically (or not), Northern stated he made changes because he's one of the "discerning people," yet those alleged changes would have him missing out on the gains since his alleged changes. Time in the market versus timing the market something something...
I have a new thought on this. I think basically too many people have too much in tax-deferred vehicles too late in their earning years to pull it out. I reallocated and was put on a 30-day timeout by Vanguard. it is like trying to be nimble while driving an aircraft carrier. So people just stay, regardless of what is going on.
What the hell was that timeout all about? That's some bs.
But yes, the day or so lag on trades in the 401k's/related vehicles make them not ideal to respond quickly to anything. In those types of investments I think most just ride it out because if you have any sort of longer horizon, you end up ahead (at least to date in this fine country).
If you get out of a fund, they make you wait 30 days before you can get back in. I still have a little less than 2 weeks before I can reallocate from the money market back into the market.
Yeah, to your point that lockout is definitely a reason people just stay in through otherwise turbulent times. Maybe that's a good thing overall, if not a little paternalistic.
The data is pretty overwhelming regarding performance if you miss out on the big gain days (which often follow the bad days).
For stock market investors, a few days can make all the difference

I really thought Trump's chaos would bring the markets down, and then the Chinese AI article convinced me to cut bait for awhile. Joke was on me.Yeah, to your point that lockout is definitely a reason people just stay in through otherwise turbulent times. Maybe that's a good thing overall, if not a little paternalistic.

Oh, but you still may be correct. With the uncertainty/chaos these days, any quasi-black swan event will really crater things for some period of time. At the end of the day, the markets are all a bit of a crapshoot. Fooled by Randomness is a great book on some of these topics.
I hear people say “it’s priced in”. But I’m skeptical. Someday I’ll be mature enough to not check investments daily.
The market is always operating where it thinks things will be at some point in the future based on all available inputs, so yeah, everything that's expected to happen is "priced in",... Disruption occurs when the "future" suddenly looks different from expectations.
