Not once have you pointed out anything wrong in my post, which would have been difficult, as you claimed you did not read it. In fact, I even beat those dastardly socialist lefties at the Wall Street Journal, who used "blink" instead of my "caved" to note how badly Harry Frazee POTUS has done his "dealmaking". And I did not just make $30 million. But I'd hate to make you feel more inadequate than you already do. Was I lucky? Maybe. The money spends just as well. You advised hedge funds? Traders trade; those who cannot trade "advise". I bet Paul Jones and George Soros held their breath waiting for your wisdom. (I know both of them through work, and I'll go out on a limb and say they did not seek out your thoughts.) I used to have a few favorite analysts. Whenever I was unsure of a trade, I would call them into the office and listen to what they had to say, and then fade them, as they were incredibly consistent in their lack of prescience. I should have paid them a commission, so consistently bad were they.

Starting in with your Nazi drivel again, eh? Not very transparent. Not my place to say, but didn't you get suspended a few days for tossing out your Nazi meme?

Obviously folks should be asking the guy who made a whole 5000 baht in a single day trading, and was so proud he boasted about it on this Forum....albeit under one of his many earlier iterations. That level of trading prowess is an inspiration to us all. That being said, I stand by my view, which is NOT a 25 year bear market, but rather 25 years before the major indices see new highs. The bear market will probably end in 2027, maybe somewhere around S&P 3100. At that point Dems will control the House and the Senate, POTUS---if he's still alive, as he is old, senile and woefully out of shape---will have been neutered and will spend his days schlepping meme coins and golden sneakers, and of course cheating at golf incessantly on the Taxpayers' dime. Japan peaked at 38,915.87 on 28 Dec 1989. Its bear market hit a subsequent low of around 7000 Nikkei. That ended the bear market, though it was still a decade and a half from making new highs, which finally occurred 35 years from the day of it's previous high. If you actually had any money after emptying the "manly" pockets of your elephant pants or cargo shorts for your 30 baht street food repast, I'd challenge you to back up the truck and load up on equities.

That is some pretzel logic! The world is ignoring the petulant child in the Oval Office. Even Gavin Newsome has done more negotiating with China about a China-California trade deal. Fed Chief Powell ignored him. Heck, even Harry Frazee is a better dealmaker than POTUS.

It is known that North Korea runs most of its government off crypto its highly skilled hackers have stolen from across the crypto spectrum. How funny would it be, if when the "200 largest investors" in POTUS meme coin, half the crowd is made up of North Koreans, and that in a place POTUS is known to mishandle highly classified information. Even The Onion couldn't make up a more absurd scenario than POTUS' latest self-dealing corruption.

Yo, MAGA fanboys...does this qualify as corruption? POTUS says the top 200 "investors" in his crypto meme coin will be invited to dinner at Mar-a-Lago and be given a special tour of the White House. To paraphrase Bill Clinton, "I guess it depends on what the meaning of emoluments clause is" Hey, their messiah is impoverishing the cult with tariffs and a tumbling economy, but finally he got his, and isn't that what "public service" all about?

Here's the official Chicom govt response to POTUS latest lie: “China and the U.S. have not engaged in any consultations or negotiations regarding tariffs, let alone reached an agreement.” What a world where the leader of a Communist nation has infinite more credibility than someone who occupies a once-respected position and office. The whole world is laughing. In my post, I used the term "cave", as that is all POTUS has been doing of late. That bastion of socialist liberal ideology (/sarc) known as The Wall Street Journal, titled an article "He blinked, and blinked again". Wasn't Blinky one of the Seven Dwarfs? Another bastion of socialist liberal ideology (more sarc) known as Fox News, conducted a poll and found only 38% of Americans say they approve of POTUS' handling of the economy. The poll also showed that since taking office, people fear their financial future more than at any time since 2001. 24 years. Smells like a generational high. LOL

One gold filling does not make you rich. A nice smile, perhaps, but not upper crust.

Goodness, you should get out more. Inflation was worldwide, not only the US. It peaked at 9.6%, but by the time Biden left office, it was down to 2.5%, faster than any other G7 country. You really should visit places far from your trailer park, because it's a big world and there's much to know that has clearly escaped you.

I may be wrong, but as I am fortunate enough to be a baht billionaire (sadly, not a dollar billionaire) I know I'm richer than you or any of the MAGAs on this site. Maybe I was lucky, but I got enough right enough times to be sitting prettier than any of you can even begin to imagine. The only person who topped me in net worth left the site, and he was definitely anti POTUS47. He was worth half a billion US$. That tops me. Hats off to him, wherever he is now.

It's filled with facts, something anathema to MAGAs. If it can't be said in a four word slogan and put on a Chinese-made hat, it's beyond the scope of the intellect an impish and economical Universe granted you. Sorry.

Ah, you joined that idiot bandwagon, too? Or perhaps it's you Neo Nazis who erroneously think you've found a fellow traveler? You haven't. Knock yourself silly, Incel boy.

I don't write them for you, as I'm well aware you lack the intellect to even begin to understand, nor is reality a realm with which you have any familiarity. I mean a guy who boasted about making a whole 5000 baht in one day isn't exactly George Soros or Jim Simons.

Apparently you missed the best economy since the late 1990s, and growth 3 times that of the average G7. Biden oversaw 41 straight months of below 4% UE, the longest streak in 64 years. And that was after inheriting 6.8% UE from POTUS45, along with a Recession. I understand MAGAs missed the greatest chance of building wealth in the 21st Century, but some of us took advantage and are set for life. Sorry you couldn't see the reality staring you in the face, but that is the curse of being a MAGA. What's even worse for you MAGAs, is that your messiah is losing you wealth each and every day. Maybe there's a strawberry-picking job if he boots out enough migrant workers, so you have that to look forward to.

Using his own speaking style, POTUS should be saying this: “Nobody knows less about dealmaking than me. Many people are saying I’m the worst dealmaker ever. Nobody has ever seen anything like it.” Call him the <derogatory nickname edited out>, because all he does is cave, cave, cave. He first revealed his tariff plan---actually more a concept of a plan---with his specially prepared big board, listing countries and the rates they would be charged. He looked so proud of himself, like a potty-trained child showing mommy what he just dropped in the toilet. The stock market tanked. He caved, announcing a 90 day moratorium. The markets continued to tank, as everybody---except POTUS---knew the various effects tariffs would have. Initially there was fear in the auto world, as so many parts are sourced internationally. He caved, saying auto parts would not be tariffed. The markets continued to tank, especially tech, as everyone knew---except POTUS---that the US sources chips, switches, commo equipment, circuit boards, etc., internationally, and these go into everything from medical equipment to robotics to defense weapons to aircraft....things the US still manufactures. He caved, removing a host of high tech products from the tariffs. At this point about all that was left under the threat of tariffs were sneakers, t-shirts and Christmas ornaments, and those will never be manufactured in the US, so POTUS would eventually either pull those tariffs, too, or else be the cause of inflation on everything Walmart offers to the common folk of MAGAstan. Despite brief dead cat bounces, the markets continued to tank, with bonds and the dollar added to equities. The US, under POTUS, was being viewed as unreliable and even irrational. POTUS had a new bad idea, as he is the quintessential fount of bad ideas. He decided the US needs lower interest rates, despite the inflation the falling dollar and his across the board 10% tariffs were going to cause. He began to rail against the Fed Chief, even sending a message on social media calling Jerome Powell a “total loser”, which is one of four primary epithets he throws at folks who criticize him or stand in his way, along with “low IQ”, “deranged”, and “crooked”. The markets tanked again. POTUS, informed by the precious few members of his Administration who might be competent, as well as CEOs in banking and finance that threatening the Fed’s independence would be bad both domestically and internationally, caved. He announced he had no plan to fire Jerome Powell, despite his “total loser” status. Though the markets stabilized a little the tariff threat still spooked them. China was seen as holding all the cards for a number of reasons. One is that they provide so many products needed all across the US economy, both at the wholesale level and in what manufacturing the US still does. China can also hurt US farmers by sourcing elsewhere. China also is the key supplier to many nations, and it can exert influence over those nations to the detriment of the US. Finally, China holds trillions of dollars in US Treasuries, and has the power to do great damage to the US economy by effecting interest rates. Clearly the Fed would not cover for POTUS’ stupidity by printing money, should Chinese sales of US assets drive rates higher, because that would lead to even greater inflation and loss of confidence in the world’s reserve currency. Perhaps POTUS was apprised of the reality of China holding the better hand, so he went spelunking yet again, announcing his China tariffs of 145% were “temporary”. Now the market is beginning to expect that soon POTUS will announce “Never mind” on all that tariff talk, and he’ll have to come up with new ways to MAGA. I suspect his next idea will be starting a war, such as with Iran, in the hope it will make him look strong and make up for the weakness and idiocy he has demonstrated so clearly with his economic policy concept. Then again, he might see how dependent the US is on Chinese rare earth elements and announce an invasion of Greenland. (We’ll know of any attack plans well before they occur, as his SecDef will boast about it on his private phone via a hackable commercially-available app.) In the meantime, POTUS will lie about all the countries coming to “kiss his ass” and negotiate deals, but rational non-MAGAs and non-members of the cult know full well he is negotiating from a position of weakness. The 184 countries under his original tariff threat will play him like a fiddle, likely coming away, at most, having made empty promises, which they will subsequently ignore. He lost. Bigly. Sadly, the damage has been done. The US has lost allies, respect and influence. The US can no longer be a trusted partner in anything, from economic policy to standing up against aggression, such as what Russia has done in the Ukraine which the US is now abandoning. The entire world now knows POTUS is both weak and an idiot, besides not believing in freedom and democracy. As for the markets, it’s a good idea to sell into these relief rallies, because the economic fundamentals have changed, equities are still overvalued, and more stupidity is undoubtedly on the horizon, as the same clown remains at the helm. Better for all if the spelunker finds the deepest cave possible and goes to hide until 2028. His ongoing presence only results in carnage.
