We cannot cut. We cannot cut. Inflation has gripped the markets and supply chains. Waller and Barkin and Bowman stood firm there… five months ago… The deficit swells at the Treasury's gate. The specter of stagflation haunts us. We cannot cut. The end looms… data, data in the reports. It is rising.
so what the fuck does the UK buy from us
beans and bacon
warren buffet
uh.... are See's Candies actually that good?
Bear bros
The box of See's Candies is boomer's gacha. Most of them are alright, a few terrible, but a select few are fantastic.
WSJ article suggests that their taxes on US autos and tech could be removed, while we could lift the extra 25% tariff on steel, aluminum, and autos for them. I'll have to watch some Top Gear to see what they think of American cars. Anyone know what kind of taxes/regulation they have on tech?

what a fall from grace
Don't forget jade lizards/twisted sisters, which are basically 3 legged iron condors. But personally I love the simplicity of cash secured puts on an etf, provided you're close to historic bottoms on it (SOXL is here right now).
From all what you said, it sounds like a terrible time to pick anything biotech related. This is financial advice.
It was the best covid stock to own honestly.
Trade deal with the UK
Time to splurge Anons if you have a negative trade balance with the US trade deal is coming tomorrow
The problem I have with biotech is either it's great and everyone gets rich or it goes to 0. There is no in-between. If you want to get into the biotech space, you'd probably just be better buying pfizer which has dropped to 2012 price levels.
biotech is very boom and bust in my experience working in the industry. expect layoffs every 2-3 years
Ok now that we pumped on an annoucement of the announcement tomorrow we can pump on the announcement and then we have another pump when it actually happens.
Breaking News: President Trump has announced the US has reached a trade deal with the UK!
This revolutionary new deal on blood pudding will reduce the overall tariffs on the UK by 2%, only 148% left to go!
The UK is currently seeking parliamentary approval of the new deal
In finance, the S&P500 has rallied 15% on news of this deal

Let's make that ezy money bros
If we pump tomorrow on a trade deal with a literal (unironically) American colony, I will unironically quit trading for the next decade.
I could live with GME
I could live with QE pumping
I could live with the AI scam
But I will not suffer this.
in other news: stagflation risks remain modest
still not jobless truckers are not forming gangs to the pillage the countryside yet
consumer confidence remains strong, people remain optimistic and buy everything they can while they still can, including gold, bitcoin, refrigerators, TVs, gaming consoles and antiques
Yes ignore that the UK has a negative trade balance

You know, Powell did his best to pump the markets. Outright trying to exclude trade out of GDP while brushing off that investment also is up because of the policies.
We can then also pump on him saying it was the biggest and best deal ever made
Who in the actual fuck is buying right now
It is indeed sleepyjoe levels of cope to see this as a win.
If there is one quantum of realness or straightness left in the market, we dump on this transparent attempt to hide the fact they have nothing coming anytime soon. Even retail should know better.

Chinese Embassy in the US says China will not compromise its principles in trade talks
It was obvious. The talks will not advance until Trump lowers tariffs first. But let's not act like the market cares.
Only chance Tariffs lower is both sides doing mutually
China still wants Trump to start since Trump also started, even though China raised last (iirc)
I checked r*ddit and they are all utterly elated making calls and throwing all of their money in the game. The top is in my nigga. This is the exit.
Cambridge literally faggots and trannies are the worst
the 10% tariffs stay on with the UK deal
Yeah we're going to fucking dump. If even deals with a very close ally like the UK leave 10% on then deals with Japan and South Korea are never fucking happening because they aren't going to play ball with a 10% tariff.

Last time I was bearish I got puts in before US credit rating downgrade and 2 banks failing (2023) and still somehow managed to lose money over the course of that year. I went long and sold the top. Now I’ve been bearish since February and somehow went from being up 30% yoy, making like $4k from puts before liberation day, to blowing up my account entirely off retardedly high earnings the last 2-3 weeks.
Being a Bear fucking sucks dude I hate it.
I bought Google at ze dip
Why did it dump yesterday
Wait a fuckin minute
WSJ - Trump is expected to announce a framework of a trade deal with the U.K.

Fell for it again award
doesn't matter markets want to go up
Basically I'm just not gonna lower the interest rates

It's just that I'm not gonna lower them (the interest rates) is all
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
I fucking hate this faggotry market with stupid pumping of nothingburger I don't even dare to buy. if it's a genius great news, then I buy. but then it's shit news, not even significant. I am afraid to buy into shit and it dump. fuck this piece fo shit market.
Just pick a stock/fund and DCA over 5 years wagmi much easier than being a gay bear trying to time the market and being right 5x a year

Bennet is running the rug pull of the decade
Wasn't someone in the previous thread equating it to pyramid scheme and that it is tied with MSTR?
leave 10% on uk
Wont the uk citizens hate rheir current goverment if they so that?
Trumps insiders bought the giga dip on April 9. Its only up from here with some Iiquidity grabs left and right. Trump won.
Ah nvm
if you do not believe in the fact that a psycopathic system exists to simply line go up by ANY means necessary to government, law, criminal act ect
line will go up because monied interests want it so. too many boomers are alive for line to go down. i repeatedly have to say this to you people over and over and not one bear has stopped repeatedly buying puts (weeklies, because you faggot bears are dumb as well as poor) and learned his lesson not to just do 30dte calls which 99% of the time will fuck you far less than your puts. At this point I'm convinced its just one guy or a group of brain damaged retards with aspergers who got the bad kind where you just repeatedly do the same shit over and over or flip out
absolutely lovely crash out, the top is so fucking in
I don't buy puts, I short in other way, but now I'm buying puts.
This is why you sell puts so that you get to buy things at a discount when line goes down.
But what if it drops way below my strike
Then hold niggers. I held PLTR from 25 down to 6 and sold back at 70. I more than doubled my money in like 4 years. How many people double their money in 4 years? Hell, it would have been an even shorter period of time if it wasn't for the covid crash. There are etfs like SOXL that, right fucking now, are trading near all time lows. Bears need to start slurping the dip instead of expecting line to go down forever.
Yes that was me arguing against the shills that don’t understand you can literally throw 100k in MSTY and retire off the monthly distributions paying for your mortgage and all bills. DCA over time and a cost basis $20/share average is ideal but BTC is pumping right now so might not get back below there for a bit. DYOR but it is a solid alternative to generate income. Last distribution was 98% ROC so is almost all tax free
Lots of salty bears here tonight.
Just get with the program:
Line always goes up.
i will fite you right now
in anticipate of HUGEST trade deal maybe ever. It will disappoint and the market will flatten. Mark it. Stamp it. Screencap it.
April 8th was THE generational dip. All eyes on chip export restrictions getting rolled back and hopefully the country specific ones don’t make $ rotate out of semis again. NVDA going back to ATH means SPY 6000. Might not get there until a few more quarters if they can’t sell to China
Redpill me on MSTY what are the risks and returns. I don't follow MSTR or bitcoin really (other than knowing that bitcoin is basically the new gold as far as investors are concerned).
This is Bennett's 1 for 1 from the Politico article he's trying to calm the market to get them to accept this shit while proping up the treasuries via muh trade memorandum
I've gotten into yieldmax during the dip and it's been paying dividends (lol). It's definitely high risk, and I can't say for sure if the yieldmax model is sustainable; but I have invested a sizable chunk into it for now.
The redpill is it pays monthly and costs $24. If you throw in 10k hypothetically @ $25 that nets you 400 shares. It pays anywhere from $2-4 per share monthly in distributions depending on options performance (covered calls and synthetics that mimic the underlying price movement). BTC going up = MSTR goes up, but more leveraged and MSTR also utilizes debt and stock offerings to buy more BTC. MSTR currently owns over 550k BTC @ 50B valuation and has plans to buy up to 21B more BTC. On the other end MSTY sells weekly covered calls OTM and if it stays below the sold calls price they collect premium, and make money when it goes up by selling synthetic calls that appreciate as MSTR price rises
Generally speaking distribution rate for MSTY price point
$20 - $1/share
$30 - $3/share
$40 - $4/share
it was in the 40s the last BTC bull run to ATH near the election in November into inauguration and paid out $4 a few times. The higher the payout the closer you are to playing with house money - IE you reach a point where you receive more back in distributions than your initial investment
Outdated pic but you get the idea.
Will you make more holding MSTR? Yes it if goes up but then you have to worry about short term capital gains. These funds can count distributions as ROC so you aren’t taxed on the entire amount some months but is better to purchase these in an IRA/non taxable
Kek faggots that paperhanded. Golden bull run can now commence.
paperhanded

bad news from india will wipe out this cute lil run
India is inconsequential
supposed to be new factory and new apple supplier for North America
No chance this doesn't crash Apple
I am long NVDY sadly more so than MSTY but have also pulled out 50k in distributions since starting in March of last year. I do wish I just went long NVDA instead. I only have about 4k in MSTY in an IRA but it nets a decent amount monthly
See’s peanut brittle is god tier
trumpy giveth and trumpy taketh away nigga. you're gonna put this much faith in a market that pumps this hard on an announcement of a framework of a plan for a single lame country???
India gives me the runs, it's about time it does some of the wiping.
No chance this doesn't crash Apple
Tim Apple should have sucked up to Mango more.
Thanks, for the info, I'm now diving down the rabbit hole on how safe an investment MSTY is. Dumping 80k into it and getting like 8K a month in dividends seems suspiciously too good to be true.
Less scam everywhere is bullish
If I don't wanna think about it, is there any particular harm or benefit to just DCAing into an automated investing account?
I'm mid 20s and have an income where unless I decide to be particularly stupid and buy shit I don't need I try and throw at least $500 into a high yield savings account each month if not 1k
My current investing account has 5k and I got a little spooked when it dropped but it's back up now so
Your investments will go down. You will see -50%. Don't fucking worry about it, if you don't know what you're doing (which it seems like you maybe don't) just DCA into SPY and hold it for 20 years.
Yeah I generally don't know what's up because I'm a lazy ass and most of my stock knowledge is either secondhand or googled case by case
But bet that sounds pretty reasonable
im old and a failure which is why you should buy and hold for 50 years, if i had done that i wouldnt have lost so much money. here is an example of some guy with credentials that failed and was clearly way smarter than you could ever hope to be. NOBODY beats the S&P i tell myself every night before going to bed so i won't shoot myself.

UK official confirms Trump expected to announce US deal outline
This follows up reports overnight saying that Trump will announce a framework of a trade deal with the UK
FRAMEWORK CONFIRMED
no, wait, outline confirmed!
framework
with a net importer of US goods
Big wins for Americans but about those other countries also currently we are at 1 framework per 30 days
Unless Trump cucks again he will tariff the entire world again Unless they sign whatever the fuck a outline means
Holy shit, the concepts of a plan return.
In all seriousness, how much does this even matter? They were already in the original bottom bracket of the "liberation day" tariffs because they import more from us than they export. People were hoping this would be with India because then we'd be able to put some pressure on China, but nope; our first fucking talks are with someone we legitimately had no reason to tariff to begin with and who has next to no influence on any of the major targets we need.
It's because the other negotiations are going badly I've read America doesn't even know what it wants and only the goodest goy of the UK is willing to suck here
It's nothing as it stands markets are fucked soon if this is the pace of agreements keep in mind India will be MIA and will be dealing with military matters before trade as for Japan Americans are demanding they import f150s and probably Sprinters
Honestly, I'm gonna guess
Trump is utterly desperate to at least seem like he's doing something
Decides to find the biggest nation in the bottom bracket and just offers them 0 for 0
They accept because why the fuck would you not want to go back to before this retardation
Trump gets to say he got a singular deal, UK gets to not have to deal with Trump's shenanigans.
When you import everything it's way too complex a system and the USA has sub 100 IQ. In addition we've tried to incentivize financially for companies to build here but they have refused which is part of the problem. Furthermore the low unemployment rate has meant that any new secondary jobs would feel the pressure of wage squeezing. That's a good thing but you can't do this all at once or you have what we got now. Floundering. We tried to focus on a industry like chips but that failed but is the right idea. Pick critical areas that we are vulnerable to supply chain and fix those issues with targeted tariffs to support industries that have home grown supply chains.
That's what you're should do but alas Trump is retarded orange gorilla Nigga
He won't do 0 for 0 Trump thinks it's a tax and he wants to use this for government revenue
They think American cars are shit, just like everyone else who lives outside of America
if he just keeps creating concepts of a plan while absolutely refusing to actually stop antagonizing other countries he will just make the quality of life of the average american go down. i don't know how true is the reverse-yeltsin empty shelves shit but the tariff autism will make people close down their businesses and lead to job losses. really looks like the republicans are 100% cucked to trump and don't mind losing the midterms against autistic democrats
VOO
VTI
SCHD
QQQ if you want more tech
All you need as a hands off DCA port
Honestly I have no fucking clue why or how Trump was convinced it would be a great idea to do this shit BEFORE incentivizing companies to build here. Literally 0 reason to move/make factories that would effectively only be able to sell within the US now.
No one convinced him to do this, It was entirely his idea and he went out of his way to fire everyone who tried to warn him
trump and navarro (and ron vara) are just fucking retarded, that's the long and short of it
What steel and aluminium? they have one oven left and it’s in chinese hanfs
whatever the fuck a outline means
An outline is an memorandum of understanding of a series of terms that are agreed upon in principle pending further negotiations.
So it's a nothing burger of just saying we agree on some things the Americans have different levels of this for every single country
correct. they're saying they kinda see eye to eye on some stuff and are talking about the stuff in further detail going forward. there may be some estimated timeline to announce but I doubt the dates will be firm if they say any at all.
