lmao I can't even
what's next? tarrifs based on currency exchange rates?

Just short Natural Gas Futures, you're bound to make a lot of money over the next 2 months

COMPLEX CALCULATIONS
REAL ECONOMISTS
SO SIMPLE EVEN A POLTARD CAN UNDERSTAND IT

A tariff is a tax on an import from one country to another
The business that imports must pay the tariff to its home country's government
You live in a capitalist society, so as a good little consumer (you) will eat the tariff for the company instead :)

If the item has to travel into the country’s borders, the business pays basically a tax to the treasury for it

No, you see, in order for it to be fair these smaller countries with lower GDPs have to buy as much shit from us as we buy from them. That totally makes sense, since as, we know, when money leaves a country to buy goods from abroad, that means the country spending is losing. Mercantilism has proven to be correct, don't you know?

Trump already walking back the tariffs.

IT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE WTF. They're not even fucking taking into account currency exchange rates or anything or am I too stupid to understand. Also

Burma 44%

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

that's unbelievable literally no one could have predicted this

Tariffs yes tariffs no tariffs yes tariffs no

Burmese pythons are taking over Florida

The damage is already done. EU, Mexico, Canada, Japan, China, and South Korea have already prepared plans to counter this and are already implementing them. The Canadians, at least, have said if the tariffs go into effect, their retaliatory measures will not be immediately walked back, even if the US does rescind the tariffs. They will stay for at least a temporary period of time. This retard has already harmed the US in ways our enemies never could.

My fucking god,we still have 3 more years of this,jesus

lmao oh no not the heckin maple syrupino

Oh you will learn soon buddy. Or rather, your tight anus will learn soon. I hope you enjoy getting cock for a limp of bread while your rulers will tell you to buy cake instead.

The Art of the Deal ladies and gentlemen

The overton window has flung so far open that every country is looking at these bullshit numbers and realizing that they SHOULD be tariffing us at these amounts.

Just stay in cash for the next few months, this is pure gambling on some schizo's feelings

Donald Trump more like Donald Pussy

I hate this environment. Trump is a fucking retard.

only based moment in all this insanity
nothing makes me feel better than seeing bibi get cucked

I’ve never regretted a vote more in my life.

I should have bought more Treasury ETF's.

I see you retards still don't know how tariffs work. You it's your government making Canadian goods more expensive, no?

I am wondering how many people lost their life savings today with degen trades and will so tomorrow

Fucking orange nigger. I vote him in to laugh at seething blue hairs and Mexicans, and he pisses all over the economy with tariff threats and numbers he got out of a random number generator. The worst part is he backs out of his own plan when his super dono friends complain about it. I've said my piece about Brandon many times over, but at least he played the part of a corpse consistently over the 4 years.

Trump is based you guys can keep seething.

I don't see why I shouldn't short sheer stupidity, because it looks like it's bottomless. Thanks for ruining an empire but making me rich in the process, I guess.

This ones much better.

It's my government charging the canadaians a fee to access our market.
Maybe that fee will be passed on to US consumers, maybe it won't. I will continue to not purchase canadian goods either way.

I sold all my stocks in late November and bought a house.

vote for the shitposter

get mad at the shitposts

he's too powerful for you to control YOU FOOL

What is a house? I heard of them in fairytales, I think wizards live in them

You will grow to miss the senile old bastard, knowing that he was, in fact, a better president than the orange retard.

Private dwelling with a garden and no neighbours above or below you.

I've been renovating the place on the weekends bit by bit, just finished replacing all the upstairs flooring last weekend. I'm enjoying DIY way more than I thought would. The downstairs WC is next, it still has the original toilet from when the place was built in the 70s.

It's my government charging the canadaians a fee to access our market.

Nope. It's not. It's a tax on people buying shit from Canada. You don't know how tariffs work, and should unironically kill yourself.

we'll probably see a big box store go bankrupt in our lifetimes. how will walmart cope, they surely can't just ask china to cooperate with tariffs peacefully

JUST IN - US Senate passes measure to terminate Trump’s tariffs on Canada: 51-48 — NBC

it's literally charging the importers a fee you fucking reddit cunt

Voted Trump in 2024
Voting Trump in 2028
lol lmao

We can only wait for Wal-mart to lobby enough Republicans in the Congress so they actively shoot down the batshit insanity Trump brings up. There's a way to keep cheap plastic Chinese crap from dominating the market, but blindsiding everyone with 54% tariff isn't it.

There's literally no source on this, not that I doubt retarded things are going on behind the curtains, considering what we already see when the clowns are on stage.

-3%

haven't seen s an' pee that red overnight in a while

did you say thank you to orange man for reviving /smg/?

It appears to be

GAMESTOP

i have a TSLA call and an NVDA put
one of these better print tomorrow or else

Not nearly red enough, everyone thinks he's going to fold and pull back on the tariffs. These rates are worse than everyone's worst expectations.

It's literally over tomorrow isn't it bros
youtube.com/watch?v=ntPeHC8z1Og&ab_channel=BillyPaulVEVO

And who are those importers, anon?

Ya...

If the after-market trading is any indicator, TSLA is going to plummet tomorrow, and NVDA might just crab due to the semiconductor exception.
I'm sorry to say, but you might be fucked

This is my medium term bull case and the reason i am now all in long spxl and tqqq. The president has a lot of power but he can't exactly do stuff willy nilly without a lot of complications from his own party let alone the rest of the government and rest of the world. Especially so when it comes to the economy. The pocketbook does not like being meddled with. I was shocked but today's announcement but I haven't changed my thesis.

I am out of cash though. I need some kind of dead cat to reorganize a bit here.

You'd think the uncertainty around important decisions constantly being made and walked back would have a negative impact on the economy but for some reason it hasn't

Blow my account up by stupidly panic selling TSLZ when it started going full retard

Stayed all cash afterward because the irrational pump made me too spooked to bet on a market crash

Market probably going to stay terrible even if he starts pulling back on tariffs

At the very least, it's over for me.

so it seems... praying TSLA pulls a meme pump again

I like to buy music CDs from Europe... so I guess I'll be paying

Incomprehensibly based

Shit is so red, and there's so much doom, I half expect it to pump 2% up tomorrow.

That's because very little has actually happened. The Canada and Mexico tariffs were on and off and delayed so quickly i can't imagine much of an impact occurred. It will be the same with this new batch. All i expect is chaos. The only thing I'm really confident about is that i think it's a mistake try to make decisions based on the long term implications of today's announcement. None of this shit is going to hold as is. Some of it will be different as early as TOMORROW.

Euros suffer, I laugh

Only thing you can do at this point is go defensive, buy some bonds or treasury bills or some shit. wish you luck, shit is going to get ugly this month.
I may have a couple of TSLX shares, but for your sake, i'll pray it does. You might need it more than I.

Prob will just to pinch the shorts then plunge back to deep red the following day

Thursday

Based, real estate is fucking MOONing hard and stocks are tanking lol

I suspect it'll be red but not deep red by more misguided denial that this will be permanent with no changes
if nothing does change I expect Friday to be nothing but carnage

Stupid question, but what's the benefit to buying bonds/t-bills when a money market account or HYSA gives approximately the same APY at current interest rates?

Aaaand ... you're raped. So glad I don't have a single penny in stocks right now.

it wont be all at once if trump isn't pulling the whole idea back. if it becomes a patchwork of full tarrifs/reduced tarrifs/no tarrifs it'll be chaos until its sorted out.

You can lock in the rate depending on the maturity of the coupon. HYSA are rate sensitive and the rate can change anytime

I expect tomorrow to be really damn bad because when I look at the drop after hours, if this is the worst it's going to get, then all things considered it isn't that bad. There's no way we're walking away from this with "isn't that bad." If this bottomed out and just bounced sideways for even the entirety of this term, it wouldn't be the bad compared to just how bad this can get and I have every reason to think if the markets can make this worse, they're going to make it as bad as they can manage which means we're likely getting things going limit down tomorrow/circuit breakers.

it will undoubtedly not be anywhere near as bad as people are dooming it to be

Agree with that. I have a 50$ TQQQ put, and a 40$ SQQQ call I plan to sell at open. Will offset the SPY put I got FUCKED on today.

I expect it to pump overnight and maybe have a bounce around open, then go back to shitting the bed. If it does, Friday should be a tamer day,

How did anyone not see this coming? The senile old fart has been yelling about tariffs since his first fucking campaign.

am also sick of getting fucked on SPY puts. wish I had splurged the extra hundred or so to extend the date to tomorrow. the SPY puts I do have for tomorrow should print nicely

There's no way this is real right?

Usually nothing ever happens

Look at the name and pfp. Its a faked image. Probably hitting retweet will drain your meta mask.

AHAHAHAH HOLY SHIT PLEASE BE TRUE

4 years of this huh

I want to believe they actually asked Elon's retarded chatbot so badly.

worse than everyone's worst expectations

i just kept buying puts this week because what the fuck was everyone else thinking?
i'll probably sell all the april-dated ones at open and hold onto may expiries to see what happens

I don't know what would be more retarded, if it was true or if it wasn't. The idea of someone in the admin hand crafting this is just as stupid.

BTC -2%

SP500 -3%

Why is BTC holding better?

have faith in TSLZ.
you could sell TSLZ puts to get in at an acceptable price again if it dips harshly, or collect the free af premium. best of luck vibrating blue hair gif anon

Futures already recovering. The tariffs are actually so fucking stupid that paradoxically nobody thinks he's taking them seriously, which means there's a lot of room for them to change.

Maybe retards who think it might be able to replace the dollar if the US economy goes belly up?

KEK

are ai stocks fucked for good now?

Where the fuck is the AI even getting that from? It must have been trained on some economics textbooks right?

Every time you fuckers say that, it gets a lot worse. Just shut the fuck up in the future.

If this is real, then we really live in the worst timeline. There's no way that not only POTUS, but the people around him are this retarded. I refuse to believe it. This is the best suifuel in a long time.

ai dashcams still has a postive pe ratio and tariffs arent going to change this much when theyve already set up separate manufacturing/services between america and canada in advance ever since 2016 plus managing against china tariffs too

Such as?

Listen, all I'm saying is that I have been in the markets long enough to know how ridiculously fake and gay it is. There's have been dozens of global and political events that should have cratered it by now that just didn't. I have no reason to believe this will be anything worse than a minor retrace for a month or two before they figure out a way to make it even faker and gayer.

-3.00%

Collins - "Are the tariffs permanent?"

Bessent - "We're gonna wait and see how this plays out."

I WANT OFF THE RIDE MR BONES

Why not post the name of the stock, as well? Not sure about AI dashcams, either way...

Chaos has already started i see

What will the EU do tomorrow in response when they wake up to this?

Hey, maybe we should be okay with this, after all, Chat GPT and other LLMs would never make the mistake of asking AI for policy positions.

I don't think it will crater it, anon, but this is 2008 financial crisis type shit.

So this is what they mean when they say that Ai is the future...

probably not that much

Nikke is only down a quarter percent and the Hang Seng, perhaps the one index most affected by accelerated tariffs because >Choina, is only down a percent and a half

Like I said, I think people are overreacting tonight. It'll be down, but this isn't going to be a Covid-19 tier explosive break downwards or anything

but this is 2008 financial crisis type shit.

no it isn't, that was a boiling point that scaled out of control and broke
these tariffs are something trump could literally just revert tomorrow if he wanted

What makes you think other countries will revert their tariffs in turn?

He can't reverse the market instability already inherent here. That's the main problem. Would you invest in a market that could be taken away from you at any time?

sounds good to me

Literally the most retarded administration on earth

bros I bought NVDA at $128...please tell me this nightmare will end

Move fast, break things

Yes. It will be over.

run the country like a company, it's smart!!!

Israel did not remove value-added tax (VAT) on Americans and Trump considers VAT the same thing as tariffs.

They 100% got the math on these tariffs from Chat GPT

Why do you keep spamming this bitcoin shill on Anon Babble? Mike is not even a reporter. All he does is shill bitcoin on his X account

Why do you keep spamming fake Chinese propaganda on Anon Babble?

At a press conference on the 1st, Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Muto Yoji denied the Chinese media's report that Japan, China and South Korea have agreed to jointly respond to the Trump administration's strengthened tariff measures, saying, "There is no agreement at all."

According to Reuters, China's state-run China Central Television (CCTV) reported on the Japan-China-South Korea agreement on March 31. It was revealed in a post on the Chinese short message posting site "Weibo." The three countries said they agreed to strengthen cooperation in the supply chain and to further dialogue on export control.

The three countries held a meeting of the economic and trade ministers of Japan, China and South Korea on the 30th. Muto, who attended the meeting, explained that "there was absolutely no discussion (as reported by Chinese media)." He said, "I think that talk of 'exchanging opinions' led to this."

Chinese media reports that "Japan, China and South Korea reach agreement on Trump tariff response" METI Minister Muto completely denies it, saying "there is no agreement": sankei.com/article/20250401-QXI23YLPHVJ3RD75AUTVE54H24/

genius knower
is tariff even in the finance lexicon anymore?

54% tariff on China? This shit is FAKE, I'm buying the dip tomorrow.

All of it should be in $TMF, desu

This has to be fake, but I don't think it is. He usually announced this shit on the weekend, when he could reverse course, but he announced this right in the middle of the week. Since the market didn't immediately shit itself, it stands to reason this will continue for a while.

Rip Amazon.Walmart,etc

It’s going to be funny seeing some of the biggest employers of the low-class doing mass firings lmao

sorry i was in the other thread but yeah i dont really recommend it since despite positive developments, no institutions still want to touch it i guess cause of uncertainty

i mean i schizo'd a whole shill image about it likely getting a TTC contract and once they finally officially got a step into TTC, its market cap dumped back down anyways
im just waiting to dump on institutional investors when they finally buy in, eventually, who knows when

didn't immediately shit it's self.

we must be looking at different markets.

Anon, it's bad, but it's not all-time bad, and it isn't a killshot. This is more like a gut shot. Market's going to linger for a while, just slowly melting down. Now's not the time for fear, anon. That comes later.

My real life was supposed to start this year. Now I need to cash out at market open tomorrow to afford even kneepads.

ttc.ca/news/2025/February/TTC-and-Gatekeeper-Systems-teaming-up-to-develop-streetcar-safety-camera-pilot

ironically the trump tariffs were probably what pushed them to win this pilot contract and an official foot in the door
eventually it will prob bring them in than their SEPTA contracts considering how big TTC is (third largest in NA)
i expected this to be the kind of news to pump this pennyscam to $1+ since now it's not a one-trick pony with just SEPTA, it's now a pattern of getting more and more contracts

but i was wrong lol

So far in 3 months Sp 500 have drop 7%

that was before tarrifs

we are going for a in depression aren’t we?

My puts are so green rn, I had pizza for dinner. feels good man.

I am feeling a shared kinship with the Russian guy who toasted to the end of the market after the 2022 invasion.

It doesn't matter if he does. He did it last time and the market just dropped further.

yep
we're in a hilarious purgatory where the markets are red but they keep being retarded enough to not go red enough to actually force trump's hand.
