/smg/ - Stock Market General

How did apple convince him it's impossible to make the product in the US? He's just giving up on that?

Tim Cooked

You tariff all of the components, made in asia, and then have an american worker under american regulation assemble a piece of machinery like a smartphone, you get something as expensive as a car

US officials demand call to pretend Trump won

do nothing

Trump starts writing tariff exemptions

My puts don’t expire till December, and I bought them on Wednesday after the Trump Pump n’ Dump retardation was in full swing. No margin for me! The only thing I’m worried about is how devalued the dollar will be by the time I’m ready to flip back to being bullish on the broader market, so my gains won’t really mean as much.

Tim headgame must be heavenly

and how are you profiting off of this information

do you recommend any stocks this upcoming week

or are you just going to "own" people all day on politics

He is exempting because he is only now realizing he will murder the strategic American companies with the tariff shit. This will kill Intel for one thing, who they really need to be taking care of if American semiconductors are ever going to be a thing. And he's only realizing NOW because somebody must have finally broken through the wall of shitheads around him

and how are you profiting off of this information

just buy the fuck out of tech stocks at open.
the squeeze on Monday gonna be epic.

Go outside, enjoy your last two days

is it even worth buying after-hours Sunday? Sunday buyers seem to pump AH then dump at opening for another run up.

Didn't mean to quote you earlier, but here

I know everyone mention AAPL but I bet it's not them, a lot of industry with thin margins are VERY reliant on electronics import, cars in particular
I would look toward GM or Ford

US equities are overpriced. simple as that
this tariff drama popped the bubble
no amount of "oopsie didn't mean it heh" is gonna repair the bubble

External Revenue Service? More like External Refund Service

Sunday buyers seem to pump AH then dump at opening for another run up.

just buy for the next few weeks/months, it might dip but but once the orange dodo undo his tariff it gonna pump to ATH again.
then come the rug pull because we're in a recession.

Why did I not buy (more) expecting Trump to fold like a bitch like he already did several times this week? Damn.

I would look toward GM or Ford

They make objectively shit cars though, tariffs weren't gonna change that

So ultimately he's tariffing basic shit you wouldn't want to manufacture in the States anyways?

Yeah but Mr president kept praising its bioutiful car industry that will definitely prosper
Would be kind of a funny headline to see it destroyed entirely because he enacted tariffs that made it unprofitable

it's shit we literally cannot manufacture in the states because the world beat us to it by several several decades in actually manufacturing it
it'd be retarded for us to start from scratch

Obvious jidf poster ^

Should I buy soxl in pre-market and ride the wave?

you bobos are gonna have your faces melted on monday

The goal is others to lower their tariffs and other bullshit. How is he going to raise all the money he needs for taxcuts with tariffs when he takes them back or makes excemptions AND refunds? LOL

Its amateur hour at the White House and the winning move is to do nothing

What happened to "90 countries in 90 days"

Faggot of the Treasury hasn't announced a single deal

too few bobos now I think we dump monday

Btc tells me we are pumping a lot harder than I expected on monday

something even more retarded than the stock market tells me something about the stock market

ngmi

who fucking cares, this whole tariff bullshit was comical from the start. trump did this so his billionaire buddies can buy the dip

Is there even a federal agency left that can process mass tariff refunds for a week period kek

pymnts.com/shipping/2025/us-customs-delays-tariff-collection-until-glitch-is-resolved/

barely, and their tech is so archaic and likely old they cant even get it to work

The formula is simple. Tariffs gone? Calls
Tariffs on? Puts

Will The Forest Be Quiet Or Loud.

Is there a platform where I can see whale options movements?

HEY, I JUST TARIFFED YOU, AND THIS IS CRAZY
BUT HERE'S MY NUMBER, SO CALL ME MAYBE
I SIMP FOR ISRAEL, AND NATO HATES ME
BUT HERE'S MY NUMBER, SO CALL ME MAYBE

XI YOU TOOK ALL OF MY JOBS I MISS THEM SO BAD
I MISS THEM SO BAD, I MISS THEM SO, SO BAD
XI YOU TOOK ALL OF MY JOBS I MISS THEM SO BAD

this guy gets it

so basically, anyone holding TSM and YINN are good, Apple is fine and probably bribed someone to make this happen, and bear ETF holders should set stoploss or hold until the next dump the day after when bonds go to shit

stock market is built with wooden doors

The Dollar will rise come Monday. An absolute orangutan like Donald and his maga trumpanzees couldn't hurt its reserve currency status.

Sorry that all of the tourists fear mongered you into shorts. Next bear cycle you'll learn to ignore them

Same thing happened to me. Got bogged on every single trade Ive made for the past week.

no actually it's very possible for the president of the united states to tank the dollar by acting like a retard

oopsie doodles

How do I short this clown market? Everything is overvalued and yet it goes up again on BOOLISH news that the orange retard slapped 145% tariffs on china. I lost 50% of my clown portfolio when the "pause" was announced.

strong bearish sentiment = bullish

strong bullish sentiment = bullish

i'll never sell again

Good luck fren. I've been averaging down my divie stocks because I'm to autistic to into clown market.

1920s mentality.

buying stock never loses money

Means were due for a really really bad market destroying crash

I've been averaging down my divie stocks

Same, based

The orange faggot pig backtracked and we’ll have the biggest pump when the markets open. I’m going to bust.

1920s mentality.

I feel that way too. But I don't think the powers that be would let something like that happen.

This line of argument has been made for decades. Might still be right but it's almost worthless to an individual investor.

I bought yinn and bidu calls on friday with a MASSIVE spread, maybe Im not so screwed, I originally thougt china would just pump their stocks to appear strong but that tariff lift might send it even higher

yup
it's the 1920s all over again

they're not Gods. how are they gonna stop it

Youre right. It feels bad to participate in a financial system you dont believe in but your capital is basically in zugzwang as an investor. If it all crashes the government will probanly sieze all your assets anyways so why hedge against it. Depressing but realistic.

Cuck, Trump.

NOOOOOOO MUH TARIFFS

That was not a request, that was a command.

O-Ok, yes, a-anything for you, just make sure the m-market's green on Monday Mr. Apple.

Art of the Kneel.

Buddy take a look at USD computer!

If I were the UAW head I'd have been figuring out how to sleep on the couch in the White House

make insane declaration

market dumps once

walk it back in baby steps 3 times a week

market pump every time

by the time the tariffs are removed prices will be higher than before there was any news at all

Is this art of the deal?

no way they’re tariffing tech higher

we will tariff fucking everything and bring back manufacturing!

actually we will only tariff raw materials. completed goods are exempt from tariffs

this will bring back manufacturing

soxl SISTAS!
we are hodling until fed's cut cycle is done, rite? so, q1 2026? maybe beyond?

Prices have been increasing in january and february already bcause of tariff announcements. In March they also went up, even stronger.

Who's the biggest China hawk in the admin? Was it Navarro? Whoever it is they would be the only chance for higher

holy kek

Fear is the bag-killer. I will ignore my fear. I will price it in me. When the fear has gone,: there shall be pumping.

who here bagholds leveraged ETFs
i know damn well there’s SOXL baggies, but where are the newly minted bear ETF bagholders from the trump tariff cuckening?
t. TSLZ + TZA & TECS bagholder

I don't understand shit anymore. basically, everyone is on hopium from this morning's news, but in reality, there is no news, we already knew from last week pharma and semis would get their own tariffs, for which we don't know the rates yet.
So why is everyone getting excited.

It's funny how this one guy caused trillions in gains and losses through shitposting.

clown market gonna clown
xi jinping caught raping melania trump? pump
white house hit by asteroid? pump
dollar strengthens, treasury yields go down? mega dump
nuke brussels? pump!
rate cuts? dump!

I hold Jack Dorsey personally responsible for all these losses, gains, and also political revolutions that Twitter has facilitated

not calling it faggy X

So since the Supreme Court stated that anything the president does is legal, can't he just disappear Jerome Powell and install someone who will cut rates?

He'll take a leaf out of Caesar's playbook and name himself Chairman of the Fed, in addition to his President title.

True
Unirinically if he did that i think he wouldnt know how to cut rates and the banks probably wouldnt understand what was happen and just ignore the internal interest after that

Maybe this is all foreplay before the final rug pull.

Well he did name himself as the head of the Kennedy Center and stated that they will no longer allow woke musicals to play and will only put on shows like Cats, which is known for being anti-woke I guess.

Yeah he'll do that eventually and Clarence Thomas is going to approve that execution because Jerome Powell isn't going to cave and cut rates when trump keeps caving on the tariffs to pump the market for a well managed slow decline.
It will take a bunch of months.

i hold sub 8 SOXLs
gobs

do nothing

win

HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT

Julius Caesar did a better job as Pontifocus Maximus than dictator though, lol

Cats

What the fuck is this trash
What happened to Shakespeare and the Greek classics?
Americans have no class

holding leveraged etfs that long

I thought this was a bad thing?

Americans have no class

There are good modern American plays. Amadeus was fire. Also most theaters do play shakespeare all the time. Ive seen a Midsummer Nights Dream like 4 times live. There is a city in Oregon thats basically dedicated to a Shakespeare festival

I hate Cats, which is why it stuck out in the official notice from the Kennedy Center or White House, forget which stating that Trump is taking charge. They don't do a lot of Shakespeare at the Kennedy Center, mostly because we have an entire Shakespeare Theater in DC.

it’s a horrible thing. i did sell off some of my TSLZ for a profit before the great trump cuck episode, and freed myself of NVDQ and SOXS with profit, but badly fucked up by buying TZA and TECS at their peak

Four in five U.S. adults (79 percent) have English literacy skills sufficient to complete tasks that require comparing and contrasting information, paraphrasing, or making low-level inferences—literacy skills at level 2 or above in PIAAC (OECD 2013). In contrast, one in five U.S. adults (21 percent) has difficulty completing these tasks (figure 1). This translates into 43.0 million U.S. adults who possess low literacy skills: 26.5 million at level 1 and 8.4 million below level 1, while 8.2 million could not participate in PIAAC’s background survey either because of a language barrier or a cognitive or physical inability to be interviewed. These adults who were unable to participate are categorized as having low English literacy skills, as is done in international reports (OECD 2013), although no direct assessment of their skills is available.

Adults classified as below level 1 may be considered functionally illiterate in English: i.e., unable to successfully determine the meaning of sentences, read relatively short texts to locate a single piece of information, or complete simple forms (OECD 2013).

how does a man have such small shoulders and arms?

You can't win against the culmination of all the elites of all worlds races working together.
America has never lost a trade war.
Of course tariffs result in everyone losing but it doesn't less poorer countries catch up to america.
Back in 1930 and shit with the Smoot Hawley act tariffs, nobody caught up to america.

If they were smart they would've dumped this news Sunday night, now there's a 1.5 day gap for the market to potentially sober up (good luck with those odds lmao) and go wait a minute what the fuck is actually happening still

I'm buying Chinese stocks, there is NIO/BYD/XPEV for the EV industry. Are there any other Chinese stocks in other industries I should be award of?

America has absolutely lost trade wars, you don't know your history.

It helped not having a war on home soil during WWI/WWII and etc.

Isn't this that retarded schizoposter that entirely missed the GME 21 run that used to post here?

i realize that if this morning's news hit while the markets are open, they would've done a +10% instantly. And when it turns out it wasn't anything new and basically a non-news, back to where it was.
Still, as the markets are working on pure unfiltered copium, the "damage" is done already, and everyone will focus on the first news that's basically a fake news, and ride on it.

Nios chart is atrocious, it was a big hit in 2020, can't believe what happened to it

Lmao

I'm buying Chinese stocks

That's bawlsie. Banking on China stocks don't get the Russian stock treatment?

I remember this scene, that was funny.

Back in 1930 and shit with the Smoot Hawley act tariffs, nobody caught up to america.

Yes they fucking did, Europe was the center of the world until WW2, that's when the US actually took the lead

Aren't Thomas and Alito the only complete loons? Roberts been pretty retarded too

Trump Tariff War (April 2025, colorized)

youtube.com/watch?v=Q-KciIbk_oA

WH: We paused tariffs to give time to make deals except china. they have to call us

WH: so many countries are calling to make deals and they will be announced this weekend/monday

WH: Please call us China. Please fucking call us! We beg of you!

WH: People are going to be so impressed when we announce our 0% tariff deal with Barbados. This is what winning looks like. Endless wins. Please call us China

Stocks were even more overvalued 3 months ago, why didnt you short then?

I had my money in tobacco stonks. Also shorting terminal clown market is risky when everything goes up.

Are electric cars fucked too? I read somewhere there was an exception for electronics. Invested a bit on BYD.

Europe was shit by 1900 according to most estimates compared to the greatest country on earth. But then again there's always exceptions, like the nordics maybe.

I need orange cheeto retard to pump my bags so i can offload at least a 50% lost instead of 72%

Wrong. Trump is cucking without negotiating. Excluding tech from tarifs is a huge win for China. All China did was wait. Trump within days has already backed down from nearly all his tariff policies. China is winning.

How'd you lose 72%?

went all in near the top
i got sick and took a day off that week
the one day where i wasn't looking at my portfolio it dumped

They can win to an extent but they're not going to surpass america.

wait until monday comes and another spike in the 10 year yield comes, trump will be cucking fully on everything

BYD doesn't even sell in the US

If america keep shooting itself in the foot the bar will eventually be low enough for brazil to be above it

I thought we were bringing back all the big beautiful factories. Its going to be huuge.

Are we done crabbing?

No we are stuck in a crab market until the tariffs go away or the market realizes they are here to stay. 90 days of crab

NVDAchads stay winning.

That's great, now I can get a higher entry for my short.
Nothing personal Jensen Huang Chung Ching.

buying china stocks

Good luck anon, I stay away from them because sometimes you'll get cases like this where they go from 600 to almost worthless in the span of a day

Really wanted to buy in, but it hasn't really dropped much from peak back when the markets were euphoric about ai.

The writing was on the wall already

Just need to avoid overvalued memes. P/Es for big tech in china are pretty reasonable.

What are some good chinese big tech?

I haven't even started researching yet, but BABA has a p/e of 15. US equivalents are double.

BABA and JD have low p/e for US tech standards.

Chinese stocks are being propped up by their government

billionaires using the government sharting absurd laws as a weapon and allowing companies to work only if they come to kiss the ring and pay a tribute

So the QRD is we now are a led by a racketocracy of greedy boomers openly acting like the mafia?

fuck america

US tech definitely isn't! no way!

The government also delists and rugpulls stocks to fuck woth foreign investors

I am European, I only read that EU and China will make buying electric cars easier

Healthiest and bestest democracy in the world, by far!

Europe is definitely going to be strengthening ties with China just because the US has proven unreliable. Not just China either, they'll be looking to make friends everywhere else to diversify away from the US.

In America, they say you crazy if you say this a fake stock

Why would you even want free legal work from a firm that was blackmailed into it?

I mean they openly flaunted this when they announced they could make company specific exemptions.

Kek

they just did it to appease trumps weirdo fetish and for them to fuck off

Bloumpf definitely learned a thing or two being mentored by Roy Cohn and the jewish & sicilian mafia back in the 80s.
We are so fucked kek

I understand why the law firms did it, but you have to be a real retard to pick a lawyer that you blackmailed and is offering to defend you for free.

Yes. The facade of free market has been scraped bare and they arent even pretending anymore. Its worse and worse and worse. Dont bet on smart competition
when the house always wins.

America is on the fast track to becoming Russia. Nation of serfs that are so utterly hopeless and cynical in the belief that things could possibly be better that they surrender all their free will and power to blatantly corrupt and inept crooks where bribery is excused and expected on even the smallest exchanges. Instead of being pushed out of windows, undesirables will be accused of "jeopardizing the federal government's mission to combat antisemitism" in a specific Louisiana court and promptly deported to be slave labor in El Salvador

It become evident the current administration of sycophants isn't thinking that far in the future. They act like vultures feasting over a dying corpse while pretending to save it.

Except it’s gonna only be for like 6 companies

I see. It's usually like 1 big company on any given day of good news that carries a rally like Nvidia, Apple, etc. Now it will be 6 companies going at once....hmmmm

Do you really think amerilards will work in factories?

Most of them won't even fit through the doors

Do you guys have any recommendations on books that cover in depth the 2008 financial crisis?

I'm not too familiar with Russian history but I'm gonna guess the Russians were at least in a place were that belief could've bloomed naturally after a century of getting fucked in the ass since the Tzars were around
Meanwhile the average American lives in the most prosperous country and times ever, reaping the results of massive amounts of soft and hard power applied on 90% of the globe over half a century, and they think they're being oppressed and taken advantage of

If you can’t handle swings, ‘you deserve the mediocre result’ - Charlie Munger

Why is reddit filled with drama queens? If they can't handle a bit of volatility, they shouldn't be trading in the stock market in the first place and stick with index funds

This is a whole nother beast now, Trump is going for the world record

Grim, but it seems you are right on this one. How long can we expect this clownshow to last?

fighting antisemitism

Of course

Redditors are literally the antithesis of everything the stock market and investing stands for. Why they even bother is beyond me. The fact that they are deathly afraid of volatility, rather than utilizing it to maximize gains, tells me they have no business being involved in the market.

thanks for the input, dude.
Anyone else?

Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace

There's a huge difference between volatility from market conditions vs volatility from economic policy changing every hour via tweet.

This is why /smg/ is filled with highly intellectual autistic beings. Volatility means sell options and collect premiums as one strategy to capitalise on vol.

all fun and games till you get exercised lmao

should've hedged

I havent read many to compare but I read crisis economics and liked its 2008 sections

Day trading is retarded and the redditor is right if what you need at the time is stability.

Is that the book by Roubini? If so I’ll give it a read, thanks

How long before we become Argentina/Zimbabwe?

The only saving grace for America compared to Russia is the state system, crucially that elections are managed by states instead of the federal government. If federal Republican politicians fail to reel in insanity as they have been, your next hope are Democratic governors going scorched earth on the fed as the fed is beginning to go against them. If the fed withdraws enough funding and services from blue states in particular they will come to the conclusion there's no point in paying federal taxes.

Literally never, infinite bull run ahead, position yourself accordingly. I recommend max leverage

cope

Your glorious cheeto is losing. China is winning. Simple as.

Trump hikes China tariffs to 30% and then 84%

China reciprocates

Trump hikes tariffs to 145%

China reciprocates

Trump announces that he wants Xi to call him

China does nothing

Trump announces he would be ready to "make a deal"

China does nothing

Trump rolls back tariffs

Xi is not brain dead and not does not dementia
He made an entire country his bitch and leader for life, only something Trump wishes he could do

Difference is in the US we have judges who LOVE their power they have to check everything

MIGA really quiet today.

ART OF THE DEAL

China should invade Taiwan at this point, they know Trump is all talk and no action

It's why I bought bearish stocks when the eventual rug pool happens, I learned my lesson by being bullish.

There's a lot of trump ass kissers here, I am here for a strictly profit reason.

ART OF THE DEAL

That's the clearest conclusion from this all. China can invade and just tank the bonds market and Trump will whimper like a beaten dog and back off.

They're exempt from the 145% tariffs, same as pharma, but not exempt from tariffs altogether. They are part of specific tariffs, that was announced on the so-called "Liberation Day", for which the rates are yet to be unveiled.
But hey, the market running on copium will rally on those headlines anyway.

The difference between the market and warfare is that trump cant relift a a-bomb after he gave the order 8 hours later

If he has the will to order retaliation in the first place.

Sure but i think after this week we can strike through the "trump surely is not retarded enough to do this" from our vocubalry in any matter

the U.S is under the politcal theory of "madman"
Trump would absolutely be crazy enough to fart out a nuke off the coast of china on the ocean as a visual "warning"

anyone holding TSM

Fuck yes

Well he doesnt have a deal soon that is for sure. However imo this makes people more hopefull that current tariffs will go away and the next ones will be more "sensible".
He put himself in a timelimit and is gonna back out slowly to save some face before it runs out.
His dream or navarro dream is dead, this is what should have happen from the begging.
Anyway is crabbing until the deal or the 90 days are up. He needs to adress the small business next. I wonder if he has a new advisor.

The rumor is Bessent took control and kicked Navarro out. Worst case scenario is this goes the way of Ukraine where Trump says he will get deals done quickly and it just drags on forever.

But bessent is also a retard

he is but hes also a retard who wants to yield to go back down really and that shit is not under control right now

this time is different

that redditor is ngmi

Dude its all so some jews that are in the know can play the market, trump tells them when hes gonna tweet some dumb shit, he did this in 2018, look at who he pardoned, (not rappers)

my soxl puts and mstz calls are fucked on monday aren't they

yeah
it's fine though just buy some calls

Yes, shouldve expected donald cuck to fold. They might still rug tho. The entire presidency is going to be 24/7 insider trading. I have nothing against Donny though Im glad he won the election

Expensive lesson, anon

holy shit why am i so tired this afternoon

What will the top 10 largest companies in 2030 look like?
The only one I am confident will be there is NVDA

that shit is not under control right now

Bondmarket is mostly institutions and they fucking hate the risk that this uncertainty brings
The Cheeto-in-Chief will have to be a good boy and swear to never do it again

He is the flavor of retard that wall street likes

It's incredible how quickly he keeps folding. Couldn't last 1 day after implementing tariffs and couldn't even make it to Sunday before caving even further. We're going to be paying China tribute for the privilege of importing their cheap plastic garbage before the end of the month.

embarrassing
I'm TMD team now
TOTAL MIGGERS DEATH

I jokingly said we aren't far off from Vance having to actually physically kowtow to Xi and the Chinese people as a form of apology for his comments and it might actually happen at this rate

Import price inflation is getting thrown around a lot, but I think the sophistication that reporting misses the mark that broad based inflation (from devaluing currency) immediately affects price of goods and assets and bond yields. But inflation due to tariffs is purely on goods, with only knock-on minor benefits to certain sectors but unlikely or unable to really shore up domestic production and probably a drag on most assets and yields. Meanwhile, because it's not the kind of inflation that the fed can or really should be doing something about (it's not fear-based broad demand destruction, it's a real new economic equilibrium) I think we're going to see some moderate to high inflation expectations but fewer rate cuts than one would expect. Of course if it becomes systemic and a liquidity problem that's different.

What doesn’t make sense is the all-or-nothing mindset in that post. If you’ve already built a solid foundation of long-term assets, there’s no reason you can’t use some of your liquid for riskier moves. Just don't mess with your core portfolio. You can
take both approaches at the same time. It’s just risk management, that's literally all it is.

The only one I am confident will be there is NVDA

Other companies will catch up and do it better, look at INTC and TSMC
MSFT is a pretty safe top 10 mainstays

make stupid decision everyone warned you not to do

things get worse

reverse stupid decision

things better

''OMG SHART OF THE DEAL 4D CHESS''
It's all so tiresome.

If quantity of imports goes down as a result of tariffs, then the quantity of dollars 'trapped' in the US economy increases, which itself would also be inflationary (because our entire economy relies on dollars constantly leaving the US and going into foreign reserves so that we can afford to slowly print infinite money) on top of direct price inflation on tariffed goods. I honestly wouldnt be surprised if we got rate HIKES, not cuts

mstz calls

anon you should've gotten out of that shit monday night, of course BTC is gonna blow up when bonds start tanking what were you thinking

My favorite is "now that Trump is making deals with all these countries they will unite with us vs China"

As always its the complete opposite of reality, everyone is moving away from the US because trump is retarded and unreliable

Shit, I didn't even think of this. We literally export inflation.

First sound of a rate hike and Powell is gone, that's when bond markets will really ignite

What if we dumped our stable reserve into the casino

Imagine the gains

Stable genius I kneel

so do i buy on monday or no

sold my stocks at the start of april when everything went down

Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon all have monopolies and will stay.
JP Morgan will always be powerful, not necessarily top 10.
Nvidia will probably stay. AMD could get added if they get their act together.
Berkshire could make it's way up there if tech stock valuations become more reasonable.
Meta and Tesla are on their way out.

Whatever shill, numbers are a college kids cope.

True but from my limited understanding is that China wants to do it without firing a bullet. Does china have some sort of strategy to win over Taiwan this way? Like some sort of economic deal or something like that? I literally have no idea but it's fun to speculate.

Prior to Trump announcing exemptions for tech companies on china tariffs, MGT bought stocks in apple, microsoft, nvidia, and other tech stocks.

I’m debating going all in on SOXL Monday.
I’m pissed I missed my 7.50 but might as well still hold it till NVIDIA recovers.

Trade between China and Taiwan grows every year. Relations only got worse because Xi got impatient.

Should you?

30%?
So, would you own SOXL?

are we buying soxl?

I may or may not go completely apeshit on slightly out of the money SOXL calls monday morning

fucking retarded, I bet they do it

More like 25% and ATH was at peak hype when the economy was still roaring. We're still likely headed for a recession or at least a slow down.

You only hate him because fag nation theater kids told you to.

follow the boomer hype like with nvda last year, its gonna go up and then sell it

What do you think will be the next tariff to be unilaterally dropped?

They're praying for him. Sad. Real leaders don't need divine intervention.

eurobros, trump-sama is making us look like his little bitches.

whenever his masters say

cave and allow tech to be exempt

So what your telling me is you just want all the farmers and shoe makers to die
Thanks trump you lost

The EU should raise their tariffs and they'll start winning concessions like Xi has. Trump is a very poor negotiator.

I believe him it's all true, I was the one who called and said all these things

stop shilling for intel, you missed amd, get over it

All true, but that 70% revenue growth and 80% profit growth is what makes me say this time it’s different. Ugg I don’t know.
LOL, pottery.
I’m really debating going all in, ugggg.

ATH was also pre-deepseek though. Deepseek is going to cut into their profit margins because AI datacenters can do more with less. I'm still bullish on NVDA long term, but I also feel like it has more room to drop in the short term. There's also more competing opportunities right now because everything is cheaper.

i am then selling it :)
follow the boomer hype

not if you DCA'd right at the bottom and it looks like it's gonna shoot up fast. If it just crabs, yeah, the decay sucks. but if you really think you nailed the low, holding isn't the worst. I've made bank holding for a few months when it jumped to 50+.

Perfect, I’m looking to buy 1.2m Monday. We will make the switch.
Yea, the data center growth is definitely the Achilles heel in all this. Especially if Europe goes for their biggest customers.

anyone else find it funny with the tech exemptions now the tariffs won't bring any revenue in, probably less than 50 billion per year instead of the estimated 300-600 billion? It's like trump wasted everything and everyone's time while making them mad for nothing.

Those estimates were optimistic in the first place. The tariffs depress demand, so you're looking at a larger slice of a smaller pie.

one of the reasons for it was to help pay for the trumps tax break, now that won't happen

and the deficit has only gone up under blormpf

Psssst, hey kid, could I interest you in GDXU?

COME INTO MY DREAM
LET ME SHOW YOU WHERE I'VE BEEN
IT'S YOU AND ME I'VE SEEN
LET ME TELL YOU WHAT I MEAN

youtu.be/GL9Qwu06Yqk

Time to slurp up some AAPL, SOXL, NVDA, TSM, and AVGO bruhs.

drumpf is gonna dump the gold reserve into BTC

ey lmao

Fuck the EU they wont let me buy etfs like yinn or tslz, disgusting cancer commie union

everything with a "chip" in it, or just "chips"?
also, what's a chip?
doesn't it really feel like they are going to scrap this shit altogether in a few days, somehow?

Blooormphtttt

I
LOVE
TRUMP

going all in on apple seems to be the play, but you probably needed to make the move before the announcement

How does stock market even work?
A company invents imaginary "shares" of itself and then sells it to you? What does that even mean?

biggest pump and dump of the century incoming

Fuck off tourist.

im going to explain it really simple like
a company wants to expand and do more things to make more money
so they create a pool of shares of value, some smart? people decide the shares value based on many factors like future earnings and open it to others to buy.
when interest increases because they believe they will be more valuable in the future people buy shares (usually banks and stuff) and then retail investors come in (usually) after.
now the company has a pool of assets to draw from that it got from the stock to buy equipment and materials, and this also makes it easier to get loans since you have collateral. The company can also bribe its board members and people running the company exclusive shares, and bonuses, which keeps them on their best behavior.
You are now held to the stock holders whims somewhat though, so you are in a cycle of needing to beat expecations as much as possible to keep it going.

Isn't selling ownership of the company for a one-time cash injection a massive imbalance? Why would any company ever do that unless they were facing bankruptcy?
Has a company ever managed to sell itself and then buy all the shares back? It must be very rare considering how many companies are listed for sale on the stock market.
Also every company is obsessed with increasing "shareholder value" by increasing the stock price, but this literally means it's even more difficult to ever regain ownership of itself.
When a company does this aren't they basically becoming a mini-bank, giving out a bunch of I.O.Us in exchange for cash? What if everyone all came at the same time and wanted to exchange all the shares for the cash? Do they even have it?

the thing is they are selling an idea, so it isn't really bankruptcy, but an idea given physical value that will result in money for everyone that wants to invest.
A negative look at it would say yes "i don't have enough money to expand, give me money and ill pay you a percentage back eventually"

"i have this project i want to do but i don't have enough money, so i'll sell shares and lose autonomy forever" just seems like an insanely bad deal.

Apple is breaking out of a corrective base with bullish momentum and a macro catalyst (tariff exemption). Price is reclaiming key anchored VWAP and volume pockets, potentially launching into Wave 3. It was going to happen anyway. Now it's rock hard and ready to shoot a glob to 220+. Gonna do a swing here. Hate that I missed Friday insider action.

that is the exact reason why you see companies like Steam (games) who remain a closed company. Most companies decide if they want to expand beyond their city, to the states, and further, each stage needs huge capital.

yeah i guess i'm probably underestimating how hyper-competitive the business world is and i guess the sell-out moment has to come for almost everyone eventually

it just seems like a permanent solution to a temporary problem i'm trying to say

holy shit, trump really is turning the entire economy into a shitcoin, rugpulls and insider bullshit and everything

Mars, Inc. has stayed private, which has done wonders to protect the quality of their candy.

trump has become a circus clown

youtube.com/watch?v=aa6-rEO4ghY

now it will shoot up like massive because he cripped his own tariffs
too bad for farmers though, they are fucked

basado

The funniest thing China can do is raise tariffs again

China raising tariffs and then saying they're only for states that voted for Trump would be one of the greatest moments in trolling ever recorded.

they said they will not raise them further in a statement, so that means they will do other things instead, like selling treasuries, or being aggressive i think.

I mean can you like, even REALLY own land man?

we will give an exception on our tariffs for computer parts that are made in America

Texas Instruments about to set a whole new generation of TI-88 users

Yea tarrifs are dead. Worlds got America by the balls through bonds. That’s not being talked about enough. Bullish!

so instead of hedge funds and banks with their dark pools, Trump along with the MAGAs control the narrative. all you have to do is listen to him and execute

The art of the Squeal

He's still doing it lol

President Trump: 'China is a bad, bad country, and they've been ripping us off, it's gotta stop. It won't happen anymore. The United States will become extremely rich due to the tariffs we imposed'

Any day now people

Just a few years ago people would have called Trump a "CAVEMAN", due to his rough, overly manly, chauvinistic behaviour.

Now the word has a different meaning on him AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHA

kek

baked:

Worlds got America by the balls through bonds

Kek, because all their international trade is done through the USD, while the Fed can inflate the debt away or do what Trump does and crash the economy to refinance treasury debt at lower interest rates.
