US China Trade agreement reached-

The market loss at least 30 days of potential gains due to Trump's incompetence. It still isn't that where we were before yet somehow we're winning? MAGA math is weird

 

CNN calls it a win

How US tariffs on China have changed since Trump's first term

Interesting summary of the past 8 years of tariffs.

I really want to know, what did we gain? For years Trump, and Biden, and then Trump again raised tariffs, and China reciprocated, and now Trump lowered them, and China reciprocated — for 90 days. I’m getting dizzy. Is this what winning feels like?

 

Market value and my 401k value aren’t the same

 

Well if you plan for the market to go down and it foes down then you win. And if you plan for the market to go up and it goes up you also win.

 

Oh, so you are counting the contributions that would have happened regardless?

 

No, did a bunch of selling at the end of March and then jumped back in 2 weeks later

 

Well...then that distinction seems pretty unimportant...unless you are trying to make some ridiculous claim that you know how to time the market with your 401K (but, for some reason, only choose to use this power for a 401K rather than making billions timing the market with as much money as you can get your hands on from everybody wanting to outperform the market).

 

It’s about risk/reward. I chose to not be a margin investor

 

Must not have been too confident...

 

The Chinese see Trump as a modern day Chairman Mao, helping China to reach new heights while dismantling their largest enemy, the United States. Mao was a charismatic but incompetent leader for China, who promoted ignorant ideas that destroyed China's agriculture and almost killed half the country. China hopes that Dimwit Donald will do the same for the U.S. and American manufacturing.

So, Trumpers, tell us again about how Trump's tariffs will be a Great Leap Forward for the United States.

The Disturbing Rise of MAGA Maoism

Can the U.S. survive four years with this clown in charge? What will be left for the next president to clean up? Will we learn from our mistakes or double down on them?

 

I'll take "What is November 5th, 2024" for $200.

 

That you recall the date with such ease confirms he's living rent-free inside your head.
