Did you not understand the purpose of the thread? Presumably from the avatar you are allowed to vote also.

Believe it or not is it possible to think without left or right political tinted glasses on. Try it sometime. You'll gain more friends and be less tedious to talk to, A win win I'd posit.

If you go to the FRED web site https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/UMCSENT you'll notice there are no Biden and Trump red arrows on the graphs like you have plastered on them. The charts are based on finance studies, not some hacks political beliefs.

You must live in a rough part of the neighborhood. It happens.

No, I think it is for ME ME ME, I do not want to catch anything, or breathe in pollution, or because my Mum told me to. My point exactly, some foreigners still got to learn about respect.

It comes from respect for others, something visiting foreigners could learn from.

Everyone of your posts is conspiracy theory nonsense, so in that respect the answer would be a yes.

Fairy tale. No one short changes a Thai 900THB and gets away with it.

Thought these percentages might have been higher, like today or this week. When it happens markets will be up 5%. https://polymarket.com/event/peter-navarro-out-of-trump-administration-in-april?tid=1744188339670 https://polymarket.com/event/howard-lutnick-out-as-secretary-of-commerce-before-july?tid=1744188414383

He should be more than ashamed, he should be imprisoned.

Whenever Lutnick and Ron Vara open their gobs on cable news the markets go further south. Only Bennet offers any slight respite talking some sense, yet he has his hands tied by the boss so has to go down with the ship likewise.

How do you know its the best? Have you made comparisons? The call rates on MyTello for example are much cheaper than Yolla? Is MyTello not any good? I haven't tried either yet as still got plenty of Skype credit to use up that will be transferred to Teams until it expires, in a few years?

One of the key solutions to the op would be to elect a leader who isn't a sociopath and surrounds himself with idiots that makes the country the laughing stock of the world. That might be a start.

Possibly because he's got the mind of a gangster doing a shake down and lies through his sociopathic face whenever he addresses anyone would be my guess. How can anyone deal with a guy who says even zero percent tariffs offered in negotiations won't be enough (for Vietnam for example). He makes no sense and probably doesn't understand it himself working off jailbirds like Navarro, and is more concerned about winning a game of golf and telling reporters to note the win several times as market volatility hits highs not seen since Covid, 2008 and 1987.

From a fellow observer: "Someone asked me if I, as a Canadian, could trust America again after Trump dies. I answered: the problem is not just Trump or even MAGA. The problem is that the Republic's constitutional checks and balances were not acted on, they were ignored or allowed to be dodged or simply disregarded, one by one by " institutionalists" who knew better. The rot is deep. How can we trust you if you don't ACTUALLY respect the Constitution you ballyhoo about so loudly?"

A "just trust" one man approach, with a support cast of executive office members all running the same insulting sound bites of adoring nonsensical rhetoric, for running the largest economy on the planet is not a sound economy? Congress needs to grow a pair and sort the sh** out soon.

Why would she need money for a flight, the op literally says " at the airport’s international terminal. The woman was preparing to depart the country "?

Read up about corrections, bear markets and recessions, then report back.

Short selling is literally what you describe if the item being shorted is a stock, so as you put it the graph goes down she wins. Directional trading which is what you describe is always a 50-50 gamble where you weigh the risk versus reward expectations before entering the trade with the idea being entering with a higher reward chance than the risk.

Liberation day is an apt name for Donald Trump's policy to impose massive new tariffs across the world. His view of the United States is of a victimized colony, taken advantage of by other countries that have robbed it of jobs, industries, and money. This week, when announcing his tariff plans, he said, "Our country and its taxpayers have been ripped off for more than 50 years." Trump's acolytes, like J.D. Vance and Howard Nick, parrot this view, painting a picture of a hollowed-out country with empty factories, unemployed workers, and stagnant wages. The reality is the opposite, and it is only because it is the opposite. In other words, because of America's unrivaled economic power, Trump can even attempt his tariff policy. It is US economic heft that allows him to try to force the rest of the world to bend to his will. But Trump is using American power in such a capricious, destructive, dumb way that it will almost certainly result in a lose-lose for everyone. The real economic story of the last three decades is that the United States has surged ahead of all its major competitors. In 2008, the US economy was about the same size as the eurozone. By 2023, it was nearly twice that size. US average wages were about 20% greater than the average of the advanced industrial world in 1990. They are now around 40% higher. The average Japanese person was 50% richer than an American in 1995, in terms of GDP per capita. Today, an American is about 150% richer than a Japanese person. In fact, the poorest American state, Mississippi, has a higher per capita GDP than Britain or France or Japan. And yet, Donald Trump has been convinced that all these decades, as America has moved ahead, it is actually in steep decline. His worldview seems to have been set in the 1960s, when, in his memory, America was a great manufacturing power. Another piece of that antique worldview is an overestimation of Moscow's power, which in his mind apparently remains a towering economic player on the world stage with whom he can do many important deals. Russia, bizarrely, has been excluded from any new tariffs. The reality of America as the dominant nation in the fastest-growing and most critical spheres of the global economy today, technology and services, seems to mean nothing to him. His tariffs have been calculated using a method closer to voodoo than economics. Among many mistakes, they are based solely on US trade deficits, with countries in goods that America runs huge surpluses in services, exporting software, software, services, movies, music, lore, and banking to the world – somehow that doesn't count. More than 75% of the US economy is apparently intangible fluff. Steel is the real deal. But while America is the world's dominant power, it is not so strong that it can act this irrationally. The world economy has grown to a size and scope that it will find ways around American protectionism, which is now among the world's most egregious. Contrary to Trump's stubborn beliefs, the US was in fact already somewhat protectionist, with tariffs and non-tariff trade barriers greater than in 68 other countries. Now, with these new tariffs, American protectionism is literally off the charts, with higher rates than the Smoot-Hawley ones of 1930 that exacerbated the Great Depression. In the short run, everyone will suffer. But in the medium to long run, countries will start trading around the United States. This movement has already begun. Since Trump won in 2016, the US has abandoned virtually all efforts to expand trade, but other countries have picked up the slack. The European Union has signed eight new trade deals, and China has signed nine. As Richard Sherman notes, of the ten fastest-growing trade corridors, five have one terminus in China, only to have a terminus in the United States. Countries around the world need growth, and that means trade. China will clearly be the big winner in this new world economy, because it will position itself as the new center of trade. Add to this Trump's hostility toward America's closest allies, and you will likely see Europe, Canada, and even some of America's Asian allies find a way to work with China. Donald Trump's nostalgic worldview is rooted even further back than the 1960s. He looks fondly on the late 19th century when, as he described this week, the US had only tariffs and no income tax, and America was way stronger economically than it has ever been compared to the rest of the world. This history is nonsense. In 1900, the US was around 16% of the global economy by one measure. It is now about 26% of it. American standards of living and health are much higher today. But in acting out on his nostalgic fantasy, Donald Trump might well end up dragging America back to what it was then a poorer country dominated by oligarchs and corruption, content to swagger around in its backyard and bully its neighbors. But marginal to the great currents of global economics and politics. - Fareed Zakaria

Typical MAGA clown applying the logic on themselves: Walmart has always treated me unfairly. It never buys anything from me. Beginning tomorrow, I will put a 50 % tariff on all products I buy from Walmart.

You missed out watch investors loose several trillion dollars in 2 days after shaking down every country on the planet with fake tariffs or playing golf?

Maybe this is something related to BBL dedicated immigration account holders at CW? I use K Bank with dedicated 800k account, only transactions are the interest deposits twice a year. I have never needed a bank statement, just letter and bank book copy.

Yes, here is more buffoonery. The Trump administration inadvertently imposed a 29% tariff on Norfolk Island, an Australian territory halfway between Australia and New Zealand, due to mislabeled shipping data. The erroneous data led US authorities to believe that Norfolk Island was exporting goods to the US, when in fact, there is no known export relationship between the two countries. The mislabeled shipments included items such as aquarium systems, Timberland boots, wine, and recycling plant parts. The error has perplexed the Australian government, with the prime minister and trade minister expressing their belief that it was a mistake, yet it means a 10% tariff nevertheless. The US imported around A$1.04 million worth of goods from Norfolk Island between 2023 and 2024, primarily leather footwear from a local shoe shop. News reporters identified several bills of lading that listed Norfolk Island as the country of origin, despite the shipments originating from other countries. The US Census Bureau acknowledges that reporting errors can occur and significantly impact detailed commodity statistics. The errors in the shipping records appear to have **flowed through to US census and trade data used as the basis for calculating tariffs**.
