Who knew that his dance hands were really just describing market volatility. Up down, up down.
It all makes sense now.
The press conference he's giving now is just rambling. Says tariffs could be permanent or a deal could be made. Threatened zero business with China at one point. Claiming interest rates are way down, and he did that.

I choose not to watch him live to spare my nice TV the blunt force of a remote I would undoubtedly throw at it.
I’ve always found it’s most difficult to negotiate with a party who doesn’t know what they want.
He wants the Maralago accord, though it wasn't mentioned by name. Just mentioned hating income tax and the country was great years before when tariffs were the major funder. Proud he's weakening the dollar. This is just starting...

He wants the return of the GIlded Age. He is hellbent on destroying the middle class and creating an all-powerful oligarchy.

Well today sure was …
Eventful?
Exhilarating?
Epically bad?
Not sure I can find the right words yet. I might need another go at it to figure out just how to describe the meltdown. In the meantime there is not much to do but await China’s response to the continued insanity.

There is a 41 page paper in a discussion paper blue link on the specifics of their plan in the 2nd paragraph of the body of the article. Depending on your browsing device at least.
In case anyone clicking on the paper has not heard of Triffin.
Dow, S&P, and Nasdaq were all in different voting % ranges. Since the poll wasn't specific to a market, 10 had a correct answer out of 61 votes.

The FT critique pretty much echoes what I have been saying on here. That is one smart dude 😜

Global manufacturing scorecard: How the US compares to 18 other nations
An original scorecard analyzes 19 leading nations on their manufacturing sector.
www.brookings.edu
China leads the world in terms of manufacturing output, with over $2.01 trillion in output (see Table 1). This is followed by the United States ($1.867 trillion), Japan ($1.063 trillion), Germany ($700 billion), and South Korea ($372 billion).
Manufacturing constitutes 27 percent of China’s overall national output, which accounts for 20 percent of the world’s manufacturing output. In the United States, it represents 12 percent of the nation’s output and 18 percent of the world’s capacity. In Japan, manufacturing is 19 percent of the country’s national output and 10 percent of the world total. Overall, China, the United States, and Japan comprise 48 percent of the world’s manufacturing output.
The article was from 2018, but highlights the significant manufacturing share we have in the US. I was surprised finding how much more we do with less workers. Japan, South Korea, and China together upset about tariffs are a much larger bloc than I would have guessed. It highlights why those indexes were hammered during their trading hours as ours were. Who wins? All countries not in the top 5 who will switch trade to the other 4.
The overnight market currently has the Dow opening 650 points up tomorrow morning.
Should do poll daily. Today is inverse and bright looking for futures. Which could trigger some selling. Going to be a very volatile few years.
There's a reason Buffet was sitting on a mountain of liquidity last year summer, and it isn't because he predicted the outcome of the election:
Even after the sell off that has taken place this year, it's still suggesting Wall Street is overpriced:
