how the hell is LABD going down? this administration is so anti-science it’s unreal. they even want to shutter weather research. LABD should continue to pump.

Minor earthquake at the fed

That's what I've been trying to say to people that the effective tariffs are still higher than any time in the last century. That along with the fact Trump means something else by 'deal' than people think.

regional banks

Let's see if these rates are already hacking in

oh hell yeah TSM

Blompf

Huh. I'm curious too.

file.png - 657x527, 127.46K

House investigations already confirmed the 2024 hurricanes were caused by a Democrat weather machine, weather study has always been a hoax

The only thing i learned from this is that EU should be the world trading center cause its so bureacuratic it cant be reactioniry market manupulation through twitter casino bullshit by nature

I lived long enough to see bonds become a shitcoin. Based

can anyone explain why the stock market has gone up so much today when the china tariffs are even worse than before and the Cabinet press conference was functionally 0 answers about anything, including if Trump was even actively trying to work towards a better economy?

probably not good

You seeing bonds under a mental retarded president
Art of the deal

Ok but what does currency exchange actually mean
Like ok let's say 1 dollar is worth 1.20 euros or whatever it is.
What does that even mean? How can you derive any meaning from that?

china is irrelevant

I fucking hate Bobo. I wish Bobo death.

I don't see it on tradingview are you sure it's not the site?

market expecting capitulation before too long?

nobody actually needs cheap plastic trinkets

*beep*

90 day pause
put your bets in what will happen in 90 days

Everyone is expecting for Trump to walk back the China tariffs as well.

dow jones is a vibe-powered market and there's still stock of premium hopium and copium, admin just say "we're about to receive a call from Xi" and investors are so eager to believe it because the only other move would be panic and burn and crash

Lots of Ls framed as Ws

Also extremly funny that Luxemburg dumping all the US treasurie bonds today kek

Don't check your cost basis. It's always higher than you remember.

Fed is likely intervening or it's the government buying bonds

when? over the weekend?

also what happened to them releasing the physical, havent heard shit about that and its been hours since

up so much

its not even 2% lmao

Some bullshit about how Trump is calling Xi (big phone call, huge)
Also probably people realizing that tariffs on china arent that big of a deal because everything can be rerouted through India/Vietnam
Also, market going so bad people expect trump to act to raise it back
Yes, it's a clown market

My bet is on recession by then.

You're not angry about losing your money, right anon?

IMG_0266.png - 753x764, 353.72K

Only if China calls him and bends the knee. If not, tariffs will go up to one gorillion %.

are investors really stupid enough to believe the whole

everyone is trying to call and beg for a deal

no you cant see it

questions were dodged, but nothing absolutely retarded was said during the press conference and that's apparently enough to pump the market

fund managers for the rich dumping treasuries

Bullish.

If everyone just agrees to buy no matter what then price always goes up and everyone wins. So why not just always buy

Nah, I took my money out of the market at the start of the year and I'm here to watch whatever happens

no you cant see it

You can see at least what Trump is demanding in a deal. He posted it.

They expect this shit to end rather soon

I demand maid access.

Congrats you now believe in real business cycle theory

one grillion

Just embargo them at this point

Unless every stock is a dividend stock, this would never work. But it's a nice idea.

smug jewish woman in front of star of david window

they dont even try to hide it anymore

Investors just see that Trump folded last time the market tanked
So everytime the market tank, they expect a twitter post at any minute
On an unrelated note

what i want to know is, was that gigapump at 11 normal?

i don't usually glue my eyes to the lines like i did today, but that was crazy to see live.

it's not that they're stupid, they probably knows shit is fucked but they also knows that if they trust their instincts all comes down and it's a shitstorm in epic proportion. Everything is basically holding by one thread, the first one to make a big dump will be the one solely remembered for killing the dow jones. It's basically musical chairs but with retards and loads of money.
Muscial chairs market. Also peak clown world.

What the actual fuck is going on with markets the last two days.
Does anyone know???

the Jews will now stop firing their space lasers as their man is in the White House
there will be no more weather anomalies

stocks go up

Luxemburg dumping all the US treasurie bonds

The small European nation also has large holdings of US treasuries, which has only increased over the last five years. Data shows Luxembourg holding US treasuries worth $410 billion.
If only they were dumping them all at once...

DING DING DING

Why did you guys voted for this retard?

Usians can 120 carrots for 100 euro
Eurosians can only sell 100 carrots for 100 euros, goes bankrupt without government help in banning the competition.

Only if China calls him and bends the knee. If not, tariffs will go up to one gorillion %.

Trump will fold like a pussy he is, the current situation is not sustainable for US in a longrun. Which is exactly why market is not dumping.
He is already pleading for Xi to pick up the phone anyway.

MAGA Republican - comfy 2% day won

I think it's just hope-chess but this whole thing's gotten me uncharacteristically bearish
it's just a wheelspin on whatever the fuck trump decides to do
EU showing their hand played a big part in the positive sentiment imo; they clearly want nothing to do with this trade war nonsense... but will Trump strike at that now that they've shown their belly? or has he decided he wants to keep saving face, green market art of the deal? who knows

Day: +0.33%
This Week: -10.16%
This Month: -30.64%
This Year: -43.59%

Day traded SOXL a bit, made a lil

I wish you a comfy bagholding

fed buying back their own bonds at depressed prices

HOLY FUCK THIS WOULD BE THE MOST BULLISH THING IMAGINABLE

*sniffles*
b-but I wanted it to go down...

now calculate the percentage drop from the 52wk high

but the price of real goods are probably set by a huge number of factors. like i can think of many reasons why carrots might be priced differently in the US and Europe. and that's not even considering differences in wages. compared o all that, the exchange rate seems very minor
i just genuinely do not understand currencies i guess
i know you can exchange them at a market rate but it seems like you are exchanging one fake thing for another fake thing

sitting in a MMF

Don't forget teh $14Billion in Gold being bought

They were bored. On that front, he delivered not gonna lie. I'm fully entertained, but also I'm not american, and I don't hold US stocks or anything from that country anymore. Thanks God, this shit would be really bad for my health. Not that healthcare isn't free were I am, but still.

Because we want America to burn. America needs to die.

How did it go today?!?!

Up 10%. Happy day wen make money.

How did it go this week!?!?

I don't wanna talk about it...

You didn't see that...

the exchange rate is just the visible effect of the huge stock and bond market selloff
that's the big shit that Donald dropped

+2.5% today

+4.5% week

i've done worse.

IMG_0363.jpg - 720x960, 144.73K

-5.33% despite making a few hundred on TSLA and SPY puts. The crabbing is not good for bear ETFs. MSTZ is at a yearly low.

casino bullshit is bullish

Data shows Luxembourg holding US treasuries worth $410 billion.

I didn't know that. That's a shockingly large amount.

And apparently the Cayman Islands, another tiny country, owns almost as much.

Trump is gonna cause a EU meltdown too because people refuse to buy shitty american cards instead of a VW and the only american brand, Tesla, self imploded in europe thanks to elon
He gonna throw a baby rage over it
Boomark this

started the week very well but got btfo by the orange turd. should've known that he would pussy once again

Sounds like common sense

who would do that when You'd calculate from the 52 week mean

file.png - 1707x1122, 150.1K

you are exchanging one fake thing for another fake thing

You just invented the concept of economy. Not even a modern one.

Most people have set in stone that they realize all these tariffs are a gigantic retarded farse and that Trump is gonna sack Navarro and let Bessent do everything moving forward.
The funny thing is, while he plays egotistical psycho, people are getting raped by this 145% tariff still. So the longer it goes on the more everyone suffers until one of the egotistical psychos finally gives in

Day: +0,63%
This Week: +0,21%
This Month: -4,03%

In good news:
My trance CDs arrived today! I didn't have to pay any tariffs on them

What a shit week, ruined my year.

no one wants gigantic fucking american vehicles because their village was built in 1136 and the streets are 5 feet wide
i never understood the american obsessed with giant vehicles they seem like a pain in the ass to drive but i guess it becomes an arms race where you are competing against the other guy to see who will die in the inevitable car crash

Notice they dont even mention why countries would become vassals of the US in the past 100 years: Free US military protection
How can someone be this retarded?
Happy for you anoon

which part of the EU is worth a move to if I'm a dual citizen amerimutt?

Nah, I like a big part of them ameritards. They were pretty cool and deep fried ice cream is the most depraved yet delicious shit I've ever tried. Also the concept of morning burritos, fucking fatty genius, I would get so big if I lived in the states.
However, when all this calm down, the last miggers should be rounded and shots, this would make me regain fate in USA futur.

Trump posted it

Isn't that from Stephen Miran, one of Trump's economic advisors? It's not Trump himself.

Cost US 3%

The US economy hasnt felt the consequence of it yet and the market is very obviously coping that he'll remove all the tariffs in the coming weeks
It hasnt even started

CDs

That takes me back...

Lmao you must've had SPY $1,000c with that level of delusion

Most bearish argument I've seen.

You wake up as Donald J Trump. You want to fix the mess you've made in the last three months and fix the stock & bonds market and the dollar. How do you go about it?

Free US military protection

yes, from the US

I mean size is a thing sure but they are also geniuenly shittier build and are just not that good and supported
Its like fucking asking why people buy a Nvdia gpu and not a intel one

Sharing is caring bobo, you can’t just take everyone’s money

If everyone is selling treasuries who is buying them?

who has money? Portugal prolly has best expat real estate scene

Depends, do you speak only english? If so, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Nordicks in general. Southern Europe and France are not good if you don't learn their language, we're really shit at english and bar big cities like Paris (and even there...) we don't even try.

i never understood the american obsessed with giant vehicles

It's regulation trap. Size caps the engine power, or something like that.

I didnt say everyone

I got $1500 in cash sitting in schwab wasting away, what ETFs do I put it next

BLOODBATH MONDAY IS ON BOBOS WON AHAHAHAHAHAHA

Americans ITT

The people who would normally buy from the treasury.
That’s the point of dumping bonds.

Honestly I hope the Euros rape facebook and twitter into the ground regardless of what happens

My reaction to that information

Thanks, now I have the full series from 2004-2024 (2025 is about to be released). Though I still need to complete the "Year Mix" series.
Unironically, having the full collection is probably more valuable than my entire portfolio

qrd?

Mumu's first bear market

I'd buy and hold SPXS, preferably for a few years

Supply and demand sets exchange rates. I suddenly want a phone case from China, I have to pay in renminbi -> renminbi demand goes up -> price of 1 yuan in dollars goes down ("the yuan weakens")

Trump caused the price to hemorrhage to start with.

More like 640ish
If you're aware of anything else changing around the time Trump got inaugurated besides Trump getting inaugurated do let me know

based

America has never lost a trade war.
If the trend keeps going then sp500 will still beat the Eurozone or world index

What is this pattern called?

Louisiana court just ruled that any citizen can be deported to a foreign country if the federal government accuses them of antisemitism btw

market opens

buy bull certificate

wait for Trump to open his mouth

value goes up

Well, at least I'm winning on it

I admire your optimism, anon. This is one thing we could learn from you, americans.

Also probably people realizing that tariffs on china arent that big of a deal because everything can be rerouted through India/Vietnam

People keep saying this, but aren't the tariffs based on the country of manufacture, not which port they last left? Because that would be dumb.

Stocks were overvalued when he took over, the music is slowing and you're too greedy to realize that the line go up paradigm is over

SPXS is for day trading though no?
I dont plan on touching these stocks for at least 10 years

Yeah, but it's on the whitehouse page under statements and stuff. So it's the official administration position is what I mean.

The art of the deal
So no changes on the fundamentals besides the orange orangutan, gotcha

ART
OF
THE
DEAL

In fairness, yes recession fears were floating before the election. So that makes a trade war even more stupid.

2 more weks

so you can't refute my chart astrology, checkmate

How much did you lose this week?

there are people who bought at 6k thinking the stagnation meant a bullrun was closer and lost 10% in a week despite all the pumping

Art of the deal

advertisers getting the rope

Based.

unironically?

America won that against, Canada, Germany, Russia the British Empire and France.

Ark Innovation 3X

You guys should have listened to the wheel yesterday. I told you

Tariffs are assessed at point of final sale.

America has never lost a trade war.

So far

but aren't the tariffs based on the country of manufacture

Near impossible to do, supply lines are too international, you'd get 30 differents tariffs on Iphones
So yes, china can absolutely reroute through other countries

Nice insider trading. Reported to sec

holy FUCK what the hell is this image, im actually scared now

country of manufacture

Which you can change, either by faking paperwork, or just doing minor work on the product to change their country of origin, like changing a package. Russia and EU still have two-way trade trough third countries by doing exactly that.

schg

Haven't really made back what I lost at the start of this year but I'm feeling pretty done with riding this market.
Bought some leaf gold company and thinking about spreading out on other more stable companies and then putting down my phone for at least the 90 days this pause is on.
Probably won't last 90 days anyways but still.

want to end globalism and free-loaders

create more middlemen thru irrevelant thirdies

Masterful gambit once again.

They're based on where the last "manufacturing" step takes place. That's how you just need to tighten a few screws to have your glasses "made in [insert country]".
And yes, it's retarded

What options should i buy for next week

Don't worry, Bobo. The weekend should sort things out

"I’m here a week now… waiting for a mission… getting softer. Every minute I stay in this room, I get weaker, and every minute Charlie squats in the bush, he gets stronger. Each time I looked around the walls moved in a little tighter.”

Today was just to fuck over put buyers. Fed isn't going to do shit until its too late as usual.

This, which is part of the reason why Mexico and Canada have been looked at closer for tariffs. Not the whole reason, especially for Mexico, but a good part.

Not true at all. Just off the top of my head, I remember the US implementing tariffs during the war of 1812 to disastrous effect.

YOU'VE LOST AND IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN
YOU MUST FIND FOCUS MY FRIEND
NEXT ROUND IS SCHEDULED LATE
SO STAND UP DUST OFF AND WAIT

youtu.be/S0Ms8YiABys

Protectionism is like playing whack-a-mole that costs you trillions. You're never going to patch every single hole. And what do you get in return? A shittier economy. And what was the other side's sin? Wanting to sell you stuff for cheap. Trump is a turbo-retard and just further proof that globalism is here to stay whether he wants to or not.

That's how you just need to tighten a few screws to have your glasses "made in [insert country]".

This is 99% the reason why Toyota and Yundai are allowed to exist in the US btw, since it tariffs all foreign light trucks
People just ship part to mexico where it's assembled and sent straight to the US, free of trade thanks to the USMCA

You say this every time.

I'll ask the question again since nobody has given me an answer.

If tariffs are so bad for the economy, why do foreign countries have them on The United States?

Furthermore I will reiterate the point.

In the 1980s China was a poor developing 3rd world nation, then they imposed tariffs on America, and look at where they are today.

I'm definitely not defending something as retarded as this mercantilist tariff nonsense. I was just stating facts.

Pretty sure people have answered this for you dozens of times already.

And allowing China to circumvent tariffs last term by importing to Mexico then from Mexico to the US.

We are evil vampires who want to steal your comfy screw-tightener jobs
The only way to stop us is to triple your tariffs or else we'll control the entire world in 2 weeks

USA now at 1980s developing country tier.

The only way is up from here.

It's a great time to buy.

Third world countries can act as retailer middle men to grow their economies because china has to route trade through there to bypass tariffs.

I don't know if americans can bypass chinese tariffs the same way because food will decay and agriculture is the only export America has other than software. And china doesn't need american software

what does the wheel say for monday

You're just gonna get drowned in politics. It's been like this for the last two weeks. Ask later when they finish their cycle.

Most were barely 3%, others to protect national interests from dumping.
Noone was dumping into the US, it just wasn't economically viable to make stuff in the USA due to high labor wages.

markets are only down -12% from ATH, you're delusional, Trump is an economic genius, PANICANS were saying -20%!

I am now a firm believer in not allowing anyone to vote unless they pass both an IQ and literacy test

hq720.jpg - 686x386, 107.3K

Targeted tariffs to protect critical industries (e.g. food, manufacturing for defense) or nurture nascent industries, which the US had as well. Broad tariffs are retarded. If you want examples, Brazil and India have a lot of those.

there were minimal tariffs on specific sectors from EU, Canada and the like. Just like the US has always done and still does. This does not include China.
But I guess you're one of the retards who believed Navarro's laughable graph about "tariffs", aren't you?

we can do it but it's bad when you have them too!

trust us it's going to cost Americans more

Uhhhh, it went up 10%. So we're only 2% away now. Read a book. Also you lost.

I am starting to ger Crab pilled. Is there any reason SOXL would go up monday? Why don't I sell it at right now at 10 and buy it again at 9 monday?

If that were the case, you could have just used one of the dozens of answers and answered it yourself. It hasn't been answered yet.

it just wasn't economically viable to make stuff in the USA due to high labor wages.

But isn't the higher labor cost worth it?
I thought Americans were superior

Uhhhh, it went up 10%. So we're only 2% away now.

Trump cancels tariffs over the weekend, and maybe some hype for TSM's earnings on the 17th

Is space exploration still a play?

We're going to use the tariffs to fuck China and make America rich again.

Go look in the archive for my explanation.

8.3% YTD on snp500

The only way to stop us is to triple your tariffs

He is correct because of exchange rate effects.

Orange nigger seems mild tempered and not as spoken today
Did someone put him on a leash until the tariff rollback script is finished?

I love americans lmao

replying to obvious tourists from the board which shall not be named

ngmi

Noone was dumping into the US

LOL

He wants to golf and they won't let him golf if he has to sign executive orders and do damage control

I ain't got time for that, and your answer was probably wrong anyway. Also, even if your answer was right it doesn't make a lick of fucking difference because the tariffs are here to stay. =D

There are only so many Americans to do the jobs. Of course the US could produce almost anything better than anywhere else, but that output might be better spent on production of something else. What the administration believes is that a lot of American labor is misapplied in unnecessary government jobs.

You're going to make yourselves match your namefagging.
Enjoy the ride.

Protectionism is like playing whack-a-mole that costs you trillions. You're never going to patch every single hole. And what do you get in return? A shittier economy.

Wrong. Protectionism helped China to become a giant they are now. It's just whatever orange retard is doing now is not protectionism, but rather shitty attempt to bully countries into better trade deals for american companies.
What you NEED to do, as government, is invest into key industries, watch them grow, push them into having domestic chains of productions, support them and make sure they have a consumer market to dump their product into. Have a real domestic industry and not fake and gay shit like NVidia. That's what US government did with Space-X and military industrial complex as a whole, it works there.
But it takes DECADES. Orange man have only 4 years. That's the most important advantage China have, they can take their time and don't worry about elections.

Probably Feds sending special unit of tard wranglers to get him, Bessent, Navarro, Retarrdo and Ron Vara to shut up and stop sharting on the US economy.

We can't do that because you faggots have tariffs against the US, keep your currency artificially low and employ slave labor. Trump is resetting the deal.

Fucking retard, why ask if you're not even going to read the replies?

He went to the hospital.

Imagine if the captcha was a problem like that.

Oh, man. Can't you just let me post my funny picture?

He was washed yesterday too, it's possible that he's not completely senile and the reality of his situation has started to hit him
But maybe that's me being overly bullish

They weren't retard. The only true dump was China who you already had tariffs on.

tariffs are here to stay

Good. I'm not even American so this is just another opportunity to make money from your stupidity.

Give my family warning to get their things in order / leave the country if they need to. Then name them.

If slave labor is so powerful that it can bring the mighty US to its knees then why don't we just play the same game? We still have a lot of blacks here and that's what they are here for after all

US President Donald Trump has given Iran a 60-day deadline to reach a deal on its nuclear program, saying he will intervene militarily if no agreement is reached within that period.” - Politico

Good news you have 60 days to get money into oil

keep your currency artificially low and employ slave labor.

Trump is resetting the deal.

Mmmmm, yes. By bringing slave labor home and deflating a dollar, I assume?
He is not resetting anything anyway. He backed off from the tariffs to measly 10% across the board, and in the process of negotiating to drop it more for key countries. Industry reshoring won't happen under those conditions.

Just woke up, who won today?

schizo juche market liberation theory pattern

Watching the USA and China fight over whose peasants get to sew t-shirts is hilarious.

Billionaires as usual.

mumus

Because the US has human rights and the whole propganda war you have with China is that they are evil empire you bringing back slavery won't make you friends nor seen as a ally

Walk back all the tariffs shit, arrange congress to remove my ability to exact tariff, publicly designate bessent as the goy in charge of economy while I focus on what I'm good at, being a clown and deporting Carlos

and deporting Carlos

You clearly suck at this.

99% of the world already considers US to be evil empire so i don't really see the difference

No I'm the best, everyone call me Deport Donald over there it's crazy, the phone keep ringing of people asking me to stop deportation but everytime I say no, america will no longer be invaded, can you believe these people

First roll back Tariffs and get congress to remove my powers then keep Powell past 26 privately prepare a bailout plan/package fire Navvarro get a few good trade deals like a more US protectionist

TPP

Or

EU-US trade agreement

I think he got a reality check that the chinks are in fact nobody to fuck with because theyve spent 30 years building up tolerance to suffering the most extreme societal conditions humanly possible

STAPH IT!!!! I CAN ONLY GET SO HARD!!!!

What are people buying for oil these days anyways. My go to CLR went private a few years ago.

You using slaves would appal Europe like no major market openly advertises they use slaves or have then yiu also have the issue is that you would be fucking with the UN charter that you helped make

I want to see donald go on tv and tell blacks they have to be slaves again

Look uhhhh we're gonna need you to be slaves again. You had a tremendous run, tremendous...but uhhhh it's enough

Because the US has human rights

bringing back slavery won't make you friends nor seen as a ally

US literally have legalized slave labor for prisoners by constitution AND enormous prisoner population. Bitch please.

So what is /smg/ cope of the day on why the stock market pumped today?

I know but I'm not telling you Grok because I secretly want neither US or China to win... until EU is in a far stronger position

starting a war to distract from issues at home

This is literally banana republic behavior. Like Argentina invading the Falklands.

I bet they're really scared, just like when he threatened Hamas and did nothing, or threatened Putin and did nothing, or threa
Wait a minute

I am currently holding on to several puts that I could have sold a couple days ago and made a neat profit, but instead, I am looking at a solid loss. Not life-changing, but it would’ve been nice to have that money.
However, as I sat at market close, staring at the line mid stagnating and crabbing, I began to think about the relation between time and money in my life. At the expense of sounding like a major homo, it really truly sincerely is just money. I know many of you will say I’m a sore loser or calling sour grapes for saying this, but I mean it sincerely. At most, I lost a week’s wages and I still have over 3000 weeks left in my life, if I’m lucky. If I’m not lucky I could die driving home from work in 10 minutes. Then any gains I made would’ve been for nothing.
Recently, someone I know lost the love of their life to cancer. I thought about the fact that I haven’t given them enough comfort and time when I have ample of both to give. And all the people that I love in my life, even those that have hurt me or whom I’ve hurt tremendously, are all so lucky to even be able to exist.
This isn’t a “money doesn’t matter!” Bullshit ramble. Of course money matters. People need it to live comfortable lives and help those they care about. But all I mean to say is that life is the most precious gift of all. It is only given once. And when each of our experiences in this world reach their end, they should have been lived so that we may say that we used that gift wisely for ourselves and the ones we love. What we call misfortune is simply a humility borne out of the appreciation and desire for love.
And so I say, bears and bulls, goodnight. And goodbye.

prison labour is le bad

grow up

Because the US has human rights

So much for the green card and free speech though

it's not to distract from issues at home, it's so Bibi can fulfill the prophecy and summon Satan or whatever. they'd be doing this even without the tarriff war

tariffs won't work as China would just export shit trough other countries

Trump will cuck out of them anyway later down the line, just like he did before

Art of the deal.

The shills have no answer to this.

How long will we exist in this illusionary clown world state?

you're the 4th person to reply, retard

Is this Bush 2: Electric boogaloo or something?

human rights

florida is already peeling back underage work restrictions because they cant find enough farmers

noooo how can this happen! fuck this gay fake market, don't they know blormpf will destroy science!?

can anyone explain

No, but they can masturbatorily speculate in a way that confirms their prior beliefs are correct.

The other replies had no answer only seethe.

muh evil empire

working at 14 is anuda holocaust

I can see how europoors who have never work a real job in their life might see physical labor as a human rights violation. I was working since the 3rd grade.

don't worry, it will only take 2 years of this cheeto to change it to 12 years old and coal mining

I fucking hate the market

This is ADVANCED crabbing

We should be sending them into the coal mines, and set wage limits for the youngsters. They don't need to be making $1000s of dollars, they should be getting a couple bucks a day so after they've worked all month they can go to see the minecraft movie and buy a small thing of popcorn.

I was working since the 3rd grade.

That's a self-own, anon. That's basically admitting you've been a wage-slave since childhood. Next you're going to tell me picking cotton is good for you.

it's söy to fund scientific research facilities

China will win because of this mentality

if collecting, why not get them on vinyl

That might be my next goal
I'd have to also buy a turntable though

I was working since the 3rd grade.

Proud about being a slave

You do you.

ding ding ding

get to work magats

this is what you voted for

IMG_5916.jpg - 600x460, 82.58K

Yup, we're withdrawing funding from top research universities while China is pumping out PhDs and poaching ours. I have a PhD friend that got offered a chinese wife in addition to high pay from some chink company.

worth it. they juust have more "umph" if you know what I mean.

I'm also a vinyl buyer that has yet to buy a turntable

Should I buy ford?

Cuz vinyl is expensive but you can pirate mp3 or even YouTube to mp3 free. Also you have 5sec overlap and you’re immediately a dj, no skills required.

Who makes the best turntables these days anons?

Are you retarded? You need science to compete in this world.

just to make everyone really amazed at the resourcefulness of the government, they halted all research except on determining the cause of autism for 5 whole months? All those other diseases and cancers? Who gives a fuck.

Gender studies and critical race theories are not real sciences.

hasn’t seen 3 body problem

Physics doesn’t exist, anon.

Anyone else here an a&p aircraft mechanic? What's the field like these days?

If true then China is einning 200% now lmao, that sounds awesome for your friend

Those diseases are caused by poor diet, lack of touching grass, and vaccines. Be amish.

prison populations

Difference no one cares if a murderer or criminal has to do slave labor many view at as punishment benefiting society

I wake up at 4:00am and walk out onto my porch. Staring out over the city, I sip my bottled water and keep my spine American STRAIGHT as I know that our new tariffs will keep the dirty Fentanyl off the street. We need that pressure to fix the border.

6:00am: Trump has announced Tariffs on the entire world. Of course. Fentantyl? That's not a problem any more. If we don't Tariff the entire world, how ever will we bring our manufacturing back? We're entering into a golden age of prosperity and everyone should BUY BUY BUY. It's LIBERATION DAY after all, and America's economic surge is taking off now, today, and taking us all with it thanks to the tariffs. I spend my life's savings.

8:14am: Eating my recycled toast, Trump says that there will be some pain. I nod my head along. Of course, it's so clear now. Manufacturing? That will take years to get here, obviously. Just like he said all along. We'll all take a hit to save AMERICA though. Those pining for a golden age are liberal babies, unwilling to suffer for our glorious future.

8:21am: The tariffs are reduced to 10%. Obviously, this was all a negotiating tactic. The golden age is here, now, and Trump has outplayed the entire world. A tear rolls down my cheek as a servant brings me my $50 omelette. We don't need to bring manufacturing back. The high tariffs were just a bluff. It's all coming together. It's all going to work.

8:23am: Trump has denied that he ever wanted tariffs. Of course, they're stupid economic policy, he should just get rid of income tax instead and shrink the government, who needs tariffs? Tariffs won't do anything.

And you know the answer to the autism "crisis" is gonna be vaccines because RFK is a tard.

It's true but I find it hard to accept my retardation. I've lost a few weeks wages on inverse ETFs because of Trump delaying tariffs on Wednesday. I think I feel bad mainly because I fucking knew I was going to get burnt at some point and still didn't take profits.

He's already married so he turned it down, but if you've seen these AI researchers, then you know some of them would take the offer.

We went from gender-studies to antivaxx shit

What is it with this fucking country, is it built on an Indian burial ground or something?

1546705160033.jpg - 685x1024, 140.44K

gone up in USD but remained basically constant in euro

yes im aware, but spending 5 months of the government time looking at fake studies and then eventually publishing them to point the finger at vaccines will be his crowning achievement

i discovered the cause in only 5 months, im better than every director before me!

anyone got that meme of the US stabbing itself while the EU and China look on?

why is the market not acting like a shitcoin today

They're trying to pretend it's not fake and gay

It's closed

What are the market consequences of american population starting to die out from long defeated illnesses? Will we see return to traditional families with 10 children where only half will survive to adulthood?

Bibi is blackmailing trump.
Trump doesn’t actually want to fight iran.
Bibi wants to be the shithead kid who starts a fight in the bar then cries for daddy to save him.
Bibi will probably strike iran on its own if the talks end up going well.

Who are you quoting, retard? The entire point is that he's not going to "destroy science" despite what leddit tells you about Blormpf. It's fine to disagree, but how dumb do you have to be to not understand that was the point?

Priced in

IMG_5919.jpg - 500x500, 80.74K

short term nothing
unless we see another pandemic emerge, we are fucked because no one will listen anymore
the death toll will be immense.
if not that then the government stripping all the assets of FEMA means that there is now no emergency funding for states from hurricanes, tornadoes, that is going to be more killer. We are going to see tons of states go bankrupt after 2-3 years of hurricanes.

Can any American explain to me why you're on this "race to the bottom" mentality? Something bad happens to every American including yourself and you're celebrating? You do realize when things go bad, it's Americans and not Europeans or Asians or Africans who suffer?

is it built on an Indian burial ground or something?

I mean....

I'm quoting the quota our state set for your daily Big Beautiful Coal mining turnout.

because half the country believes this is the right idea and the other half do not. One side wants to be right about this train wreck but our laws prevent us from doing anything.

strong jew magic
defending israel is a small price to pay for avoiding the sp500 breaker
masterful gambit by the orange menace and ron vara, once again

Well, anon, the past is in the past. It’s not a concrete reality anymore like the here and now is. You are only haunted by your own memory. Tomorrow will always be a new day.

Walk back on tariffs and say it was all navarro idea and he tricked you.

Two thirds of the population thinks they've been suffering the past few decades lmao
That plus the retarded zero-sum game mentality that hyper individualism has pushed into the zeitgeist makes it seem like a good idea if you're retarded

you republitard MAGAt, betcha gonna get angry when i own you crying over lib tears, look at my pop science MAGAZINE talking about a petition

New to stocks. What's this little maneuver called?

Capture.jpg - 292x254, 10.12K

Because since 2008 wages in the US have stagnanted especially accounting for productivity while genreally cost of living has gone up combine this with a generation of young men who really could care less if society burns itself to the ground they would be more then pleased to see the world burn to the ground as sort of a funny joke

America get rich by expanding its trade empire

Gaslight people that "it's for the good of the world" so they can get away with it

Say it so much a bunch of american politicians start believing it and get elected

They begin fucking with the system and immediately get dick slapped

We are here, I for one cant wait for next episode

0a1[1].jpg - 680x830, 81.02K

Americans generally hate each other on political lines. You should hear the type of shit my conservative coworkers casually say about "the libs."

I have 500k€. Can I retire on JGPI and spend 100% of the dividend and not see my 500k€ get diluted under inflation long term?

JGPI is like JEPI but with a bit lower yield and less volatile (MSCI World is used to make the covered call strategy vs SP500). We saw recently the importance of diversification specially for the income part of the portfolio.

I just want to know if this is safe. Who gives a shit about lack of growth as long as you are not lossing money to inflation. I just want to retire now. I only need 1500€ a month and house is paid off also 0 debt and no kids so let me know.

make fun of china in the most racist way

say they lost in the most racist boomer way

blast how china is a failed state all over the media, but esp on YouTube videos with sub200 subscribers (cuz it’s cheaper and ai generated)

quietly walk back tariffs down to 10%

reduce Chinese tariff to 50%

let Europe rebrand Chinese products as European and tariff at 30%

do hybrid USA-foreign manufacturing for reduced tariffs

use tariffs to reduce income tax where permissible

>all in ceramic tech sector which have to be made entirely in USA if newest generation. Old previous gen ceramics can be made in first tier allies, except Israel. China can have 3 gen old ceramic tech

I think we all think baby boomers should be put under a guillotine because they were the last generation to afford a house, a car and to feed themselves on a single income

exuberance followed by a bear trap

thats true.
if you go to a leftist video about trump you'll see dozens of comments advocating for killing him and hanging his supporters as traitors, and on the right you see them literally calling democrats or leftists the legions of hell.
devilishly bullish for military stock

of course they don't 'support' china

*dumps your treasury*

*wink*

that kind of ultra left and ultra right mentality is not normal and doesn't make up the majority of the factions, despite each faction saying so.
just like the boards here you get the vocal minority speaking their mind everywhere but there isn't that many.

I will say for the sake of being honest about my biases that I think the leftists have a better case. Libshit was at worst annoying HR bullcrap but this tard is actually fucking up the economy and speedrunning complete distrust in institutions.

I just want to know if this is safe.
hire a financial consultant unironically. their job is to figure it out for you and it depends a lot on the law where you live

*RING RING*

Sounds like jewery to me.

in russia the whites and the reds were both minorities. it doesnt matter. either you pick up a gun and matter or you don't. even in the american revolution only about a third of the country was yankees. revolutions are basically never determined by a majority, usually an offset elite caste that wants to restructure the system for their advantage. be mindful of the social risks in america and europe for investments

The MAGA group is willing to cut their leg off if it means cutting off both legs of the libs, and the lefties are mad that MAGA beat them to making a maoist government and want them dead or starving

my buddy from the UK works in weather monitoring and is frequently stateside and told me the NOAA fuckery is having massive ripples across global weather monitoring. Not a good sign.

Trumps obsession with coal is one of his most retarded fucking policies
What a retard

Bloomberg made a statement saying they don't know who dumped bonds and saying Japan did it without any investigation is too premature

every long term investor will tell you the dangers of weighting in buying anything.
Carefully look at the weighting and decide its exposure in the world markets, you can also check the background of the company running it.

ere both minorities

revolutions are basically never determined by a majority

Agreed, that's why it's good to deport foreign fifth columnists "protestors" who don't even have citizenship. I don't know why people are pretending this is a crime against humanity. It's also what makes mass immigration very dangerous.

we've seen this play out a billion times over in history
when the fascists win, they take up retarded financial policy and ruin their industry and sieze investor assets and damage trade long term
when communists win, they take up retarded financial policy and ruin their industry and sieze investor assets and damage trade long term.
theyll just take your bags and kick you on the way out and laugh their way to the bank. dont invest in anything but liberal regimes honestly if you want to keep it till 80 years old

Why does he look like a negro on his ID card?

thats his caretaker kabru because hes retarded

when communists win, they take up retarded financial policy and ruin their industry and sieze investor assets and damage trade long term

dawg Russia and China were basically feudal before the gommunists took over. Although trying to get peasants to make steel in their backyards was a dumb move on Mao's part.

I would normally agree except this is clearly another round of zion don being a slavish proponent of israeli interests

spain
south america
africa
italy
nazi germany
argentina
etc
open a book sometime you might learn something

on aprils fools

keikaku

How mad is Jerome at this whole situation? They couldn't even get inflation to 2% yet, now this.

Uh guys, why would an advisor start mass converting their ADR’s to domestic foreign exchange shares

spain

what communists? The PCE? They were a pest to Franco at best. Or are you calling the left-wing republican government communist? Because the republican coalitions used the commies as fellow travelers at best.

South America

I don't think you wanna argue with me on this because I guarantee you that I could run laps around you. It wouldn't even be worth arguing with you unless you could demonstrate to me that you comprehend the ramifications of Trujillo's surveillance networks in the early 20th century.

Africa

Like Burkina Faso? Sankara was pretty much the opposite of a gibs begger and was fast tracking the country to be independent of international debt and conserve farmland and mineral rights before he got merc'd by Compaore.

italy

lol

nazi germany

LMAO

argentina

you already mentioned south america broadly so no comment

but our laws prevent us from doing anything.

Good things you have guns

what communists? The PCE? They were a pest to Franco at best. Or are you calling the left-wing republican government communist? Because the republican coalitions used the commies as fellow travelers at best.

the spanish civil war was a pest

yep, you outed yourself as a moron. dont have a drill bit wide enough to get through a skull that thick. later retard

I meant after the civil war, retard.
And again, that's not a takeover of the government. That's why I wanted you to clarify. The majority of the Republican faction's troops were not communists, and while they had baking from the Soviet Union, the nationalists had backing from Nazi Germany. Wouldn't that make them communists too by your logic?

the nationalists had backing from Nazi Germany. Wouldn't that make them communists too

What are you smoking

Bullish if Shale was actually profitable

Did you not notice that the other anon listed Nazi Germany as an example of a communist takeover here

you missed the point of my original post which is whenever there is a violent conflict between two relatively extreme groups, the economy always takes a shit and it doesnt matter which side wins

boringest trade war ever

But I only explicitly spoke of the communists, who DID bolster the economies at several points, especially in the eras of major social upheaval in the early 20th century when fascist takeovers were also prominent.
You're motte and bailey'ing the fuck out of this.

those are literally the same thing

Today was wild. I'm glad I didn't look at my brokerage and instead got drunk at the local bar. How did all my niggas in /smg/ fair?

651614643.jpg - 1280x720, 60.94K

not if you were an investor in the original system. republic of china investors got fucked. feudal russian investors got fucked. my point is that assets are never safe THROUGH a conflict, not after one

can anyone spoonfeed a retard?
I pulled my money out of the market a while ago expected a downturn. I expect more pain to the downaide in the short term, but I feel like a retard holding dollars.
Is there anywhere I can park my cash won't bleed value and isn't overbought as fuck already?

mfw the United States of Babylon is collapsing in real time

mfw Murrisharts will stop being carried by their fake world reserve currency based on debt

mfw nothing can stop what's coming

mfw Murrisharts will be eating their dogs and cats to survive come winter

Lucky. Can't wait for lent to be over

When does wal-mart run out of stock?

Are you retreating into the motte now? Of course fiscal investments aren't stable after a massive social upheaval. That's a completely meaningless thing to argue. I was addressing your more ahistorical observation.

You find that in a lot of post WWII social revolutions the alignments are more pragmatic than ideological. Castro was more of a populist revolutionary than a genuine Marxist, but aligning with the Soviet Union made the most practical sense given that the US was demonstrably not going to be okay with Batista being ousted. Not that he knew it yet, but America would start a long history of chimping out anytime a guy even slightly left of the Christian liberal factions throughout Latin America would win an election, although we had the prototype of that already with Arbenz.

technically because most shit is freight, it'd take 2 months for retail to truly feel the effects

you're such a fucking retard dude lmfao
how did you misinterpret

theyll just take your bags and kick you on the way out and laugh their way to the bank. dont invest in anything but liberal regimes honestly if you want to keep it till 80 years old

Well the container ships just pulling into port now are paying the tariffs right? Not just the ones setting sail now.

This, assuming the item(s) you want isn't already running out or waiting for the pre-existing backlog to clear, and also assuming the tariffs are actually happening and enforced by official parties.
I still can't believe in them, it's too surreal, borderline paranormal demonic activity...!

You said

when communists win, they take up retarded financial policy and ruin their industry and sieze investor assets and damage trade long term

You also said

theyll just take your bags and kick you on the way out and laugh their way to the bank. dont invest in anything but liberal regimes honestly if you want to keep it till 80 years old

I was critiquing the first point. I was not critiquing the second. You attempted to defend the first point, and, when it was obvious that you were being outmatched, retreated to the second, easily defensible point.
Do better.

Depends, do you speak only english? If so, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Nordicks in general. Southern Europe and France are not good if you don't learn their language, we're really shit at english and bar big cities like Paris (and even there...) we don't even try.

Only English and some Japanese.
If I dove in deep, I'd learn a new language, but Anon Babble memes turn me off on France to say the least.

who has money? Portugal prolly has best expat real estate scene

I don't really need an "expat" real estate scene, as I have EU citizenship (Italy) and an expat scene is a double edged sword. Haven't loads of budget, bottom of barrel foreigners moved into Portugal?

what i said is true about your counter examples, so i have no clue what you're smoking. mao killed the capital holders and so did the reds. and they did take up retarded economic policies. starving your citizens to make steel isnt a great way to build a happy, prosperous nation. these people that come to power on extremism are always fucking insane. see: trump tariffs.

baked for fry day

they did take up retarded economic policies

I already gave you a concession on the steelworker shit. Hell I'll even save you the trouble of bringing up the Four Pests campaign (although ecology was not what it is now and western nations were having similar but less devastating problems with maintaining their own ecosystems). But the notion of intentional starvation when pretty much all of Chinese history is littered with famines is another amusing angle. With the restructuring under Mao and the later market reforms under Deng, China doesn't have periodic famines anymore.
And again, there are people who came to power under "extermism" that did genuinely galvanize their economies. Often at significant human cost, naturally, but it's a damn revolution. You have to thank the French Revolution for pretty much everything about modern liberal democracies and markets. Not all extremism in the context of its time is unproductive, but obviously it often involves bloodshed.

Where's /smg/ ICE, we need some deportations

This could actually start some sort of uprising.
NOOA is a highly respected organization and asking thousands of scientist and technicians to stand by while their life's work is gutted and twisted to a completely different purpose is not the kind of thing a career scientist who works for the public good is going to just brush off
