My first trip to Mexico and South America told me to watch this.. They guzzle it. I don't touch the stuff. I invested a few bucks in Coca-Cola distribution a few months ago.. Luckily turned out to be a pretty good move. Wish I would have gone all in now. I am chicken ... hahaha..

Ohhh my, time to jump in a tiny bit... My Mexico holdings are surging and have offset all my US losses.. GBOOY, FMX, WMMVY.... S&P now at a - 4%. I am buying the S&P... Too later for you guys to cash in on Mexico! But sadly my Intel stock is tanking again... ugggg. But, fun to speculate.

Chinese knock off's, you will never stop that ever!

Personally I don't think it has much to do with tariffs. The US is pulling out of world protector mode. That is an expensive job that the US does not want anymore. They want supply chains closer to home, Mexico Canada, South America. The real growth will be in Mexico and South America IMHO. Trump is just accelirating the isolation. (Pretty much saying take care of yourself from here on out. We don't care anymore). Curious to see how this plays out. You can already see what is going on in the Middle East, Russia Ukraine. That is a shi$ show. With the US pulling out it is going to be a mess. He is already double downing on the North American continent. Panama!, anything that might threaten the new global order. North America will be the safest place to be in the world. It is now. Companies will flock in.

So, just another typical day in Chiang Mai. Ok, noted... Thanks

Investors know now, and most don't panic when he opens his mouth. Too many lost big when he spoke his last term. I picked up some Walmart Mexico at 19-20/share.. Now, big investors know what is going on. This stuff is fun to read but pointless to me... Best of luck to everyone in Thailand.

Yeah, I read that also. Like others I am staying home to ponder whether to start investing. I am a poor slob but these downturns help the bottom line in the long run.

Well, it may be time to pick up a few shares. Will be watching and doing a little math... haha

The S&P was up today! Although down from the 6100 high by quite a bit. It is all over the place. ugggg. Wasn't expecting that...

Starlink is now profitable as is SpaceX, Tesla could go tit's up and he will still be going to Mars. Although a 100 billion poorer he would not miss a beat. Got to admire that guy, he has diversified to the point where if one fails it really doesn't bring him down.

Not sure I would wish a 29 style downturn on any country. But, a 20-30% correction will have me in in with you... I get goosebumps thinking about that... hahaha

Curious why you want it to happen?

I just read the Thai PM has put together a team to address this. Tariff's will be lowered for US goods to try and offset the Tariff's.

Been hearing that forever, just listen to YouTube hahaha.

I bet you won't see any or much easing even when he is gone. Biden doubled down on China and didn't reverse many of the tariffs. So, time will tell. Personally I would say this is here to stay.

Definitely a possibility, I am in South America at the moment. Hopefully they won't all start coming here. ugggggg. And I have a home in the US. I live here like I used to years ago in Thailand. Very enjoyable.

I don't think you have anything to worry about. Allot more than 36% will leave and 100% will never go. Good or bad, that is the reality now.

As a guy from the US that used to live in Thailand. The writing has been on the wall for years. Unfortunally for me it means I will never visit or spend money in Thailand again. The good old days have been over for a long time. This just basically stopped all tourism to Thailand from the US. Only thing I am grateful for is I am gone. It is going to get pretty bad for the expats living there from the US. I dodged that bullet.. hahaha

She'll be gone before the digital ink dries.

No worries, Thailand will start charging all westerners double pricing for a dish of PaTai. Up the national parks to double or triple the rate of Thais. Taxi meters will be recalibrated for farang tax. Wait a minute, they already do this..

I am so looking forward to it. Bringing my whole family to the grand opening. I'll be the one on the far left, smoking a joint, with a hooker on my left arm , holding poker chips and ready to partake in this family wholesome event.

I've said it before, doesn't have to be a bar. The local people don't like westerners anymore. Thailand's big city are just like all the city's now. No different.

Those huge tourist cities, the locals just see you as a mark. The innocent days of Thailand have been over for years. Just getting worse by the day.

Pai, best to be avoided. More like it. A few came, went back and told the truth to their citizens.

Just let him do his thing, start a rice scheme thing or telephone thing or what ever, so he can get a few billion then oust him again. You let him back in , it ain't going to end well for the Thai coffers. Or just write him a check.
