Speculators drive market down. Big speculators wait. When down enough big speculators buy up. Market goes up again. Big speculators get bigger.

How?? If you're fully invested, how can you 'buy the dips and the lows'?

I think you're correct he does not know how the stock market works, but I think you can go one step further and say he does not know how the economy works, and on a more important level he knows nothing anything about globalization and all the intricacies involved in manufacturing internationally.

 

There's a reason why that's taking place, there's a reason why manufacturing has shifted overseas. It didn't happen in a vacuum and that manufacturing will not return to the US, not during our lifetime. It is just a slogan and a concept that he used to very craftily deceive millions of people into voting for him. 

 

I think at this point in time it's becoming increasingly more obvious that he (and more importantly the dark stains who control him) are deliberately trying to crash the US and the world economy. And they're doing a pretty good job, just give him another year or two, most of his supporters could be out of work. 

 

It was the notion of taxing foreign nations that caught Mark Cuban's eye and he shared the quote to X, formerly Twitter, with his own addition asking: "Can someone explain to me how we would tax a foreign nation?"

 

He continued in a thread, "A tariff is a tax imposed on foreign-made goods, paid by the IMPORTING BUSINESS (Walmart would be an example) to its home country's government. (USA) As an example , Walmart imports billions and billions of goods. If there is a 10 pct [percent] tariff, Walmart pays the US government 10pct on those billions, and guess who they pass that cost on to?"

Some great buying opportunities ahead as Mr Market readjusts.

Yeah, I bought into the George W Bush "Great Recession" on the way down.

That's because I was expecting it and was mostly cash.  Bad idea, I know.

But you can't buy on the way down unless you have cash.

If you're fully invested all the time, you have no cash.

FYI, the 2008 crash lasted 8 months.

By October 2009, my investment had increased to the same it was a year before.

But I made a mistake in 2016 and went mostly cash and lost out on a lot of the Trump market gain.

 

Lesson learned. 

 

Always stay 100% invested at all times, except for a 6 months emergency cash fund of course.

 

But that means I can't scoop up stocks for pennies on the dollar during a Trump Stupid Depression 2.0.

 

Where am I going to get the cash from?

 

Especially if I lose my job due to Trump's chaotic economic policies.

 

And the social security payments stop.

 

What then, America?

 

What's your smart*$$ KGB Russian talking points about how we need pain and suffering to make America great again? 😲

Never said I was fully invested buddy.

 

I meant never cash out your investments in a panic and go 100% to cash.

 

Have some dry powder (cash) to buy the dips/lows.

[Harrisfan]

bear market is typically defined as a decline of at least 20% from the market's high point to its low during a selloff.5 Since 1929, the average length of a bear market has been around 9.6 months.14 The average decline during a bear market for the S&P 500 since 1929 stands at 33.5%.1 Bear markets occur, on average, every 4.8 years.

Trump said Biden's economic policies would lead to a Recession or even a Depression.

 

Trump never lies, right?

 

Weird how Joe Biden's 2025 Recession started after he left office and Trump came in and fixed everything on Day One.

 

Hmmm.  Oh well.

 

I'm sure we live in the best of all possible worlds, Pangloss.

 

Soon Americans will get to relive the Great Depression and starve together with their families.

 

God Bless you, Donald Trump. 🙏

 

The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 made the Great Depression worse rather than helping the economy.

 

Here’s how it backfired:

 

1. Higher Prices for Consumers

 

The tariffs raised taxes on over 20,000 imported goods, making foreign products more expensive for Americans. This meant that U.S. consumers had to either pay more or switch to lower-quality domestic alternatives.

 

2. Retaliation from Other Countries

 

Other nations didn’t just sit back—they retaliated by imposing their own tariffs on American exports. This hurt U.S. farmers and manufacturers who relied on selling goods abroad, leading to a huge drop in international trade.

 

3. Economic Contraction

 

Instead of boosting the economy, global trade plummeted by about 65% from 1929 to 1934. Businesses that depended on exports—especially in agriculture and manufacturing—collapsed, leading to mass layoffs.

 

4. Unemployment Skyrocketed

 

Before the act was signed, the unemployment rate was around 8%. After the tariffs and the deepening of the Great Depression, unemployment soared to 25% by 1933.

 

5. Stock Market Decline

 

The stock market had already crashed in 1929, but Smoot-Hawley added more uncertainty. Investors feared lower profits due to shrinking markets, causing further declines.

 

6. No Real Economic Boost

 

The idea was to protect American jobs and businesses, but since other countries retaliated, U.S. industries that relied on trade suffered more than they benefited.

 

Lesson Learned?

 

Economists now widely agree that protectionist tariffs like Smoot-Hawley tend to do more harm than good.

 

But but but Donald Trump is smarter than the economists and he's got that there real smart feller to help himself to our taxpayer money. 🤑

 

GO MAGA!  MARS NOW! 💕

‘I hate to predict things’: Trump doesn’t rule out US recession amid trade tariffs

US president downplays recent stock market volatility that followed his ducking and weaving over tariff policy

 

He hates to predict things.

 

Unless it's total 🐴💩 about a Democratic political rival. 😭

 

1. July 2022: At a rally in Prescott Valley, Arizona, Trump warned that Biden's fiscal policies could lead the country into an economic depression akin to the Great Depression. 

 

2. October 2020: During a speech to the Economic Club of New York, Trump claimed that a Democratic win would lead to sharply higher taxes and "destroy our country," resulting in a depression. 

 

3. March 2023: In a statement, Trump asserted that under Biden, the U.S. was "on the verge of a devastating... it's called stagflation," suggesting that the economy could enter a depression akin to the Great Depression. 

 

4. August 2023: At a rally in Alabama, Trump stated that Biden's economic policies were leading the country toward a "massive recession the likes of which we've never seen before."

 

5. September 2023: In an interview with Fox News, Trump predicted that Biden's handling of the economy would result in a "full-scale depression."

 

6. October 2023: During a campaign event in Pennsylvania, Trump warned supporters that Biden's tax policies would "crash the economy" and lead to a recession.

 

7. November 2023: At a press conference, Trump claimed that the stock market would "implode" under Biden, causing a severe economic downturn.

 

8. January 2024: In a social media post, Trump asserted that Biden's energy policies would "cripple the economy" and lead to a recession.

 

9. February 2024: During a televised interview, Trump stated that Biden's approach to foreign trade would result in "economic disaster" and a prolonged recession.

 

10. March 2024: At a rally in Florida, Trump warned that the country was "heading straight for a depression" due to Biden's fiscal policies.

 

Projection, much?

 

It's almost like Trump is looking into a mirror and predicting the future.

 

Just substitute Trump for Biden. ✅

Unfortunately MAGA is a cult where its followers worship its leader the Messiah and every word he utters is gospel even though 99% of it's bs.

 

No MAGA cultist devotee or disciple is ever going to admit that they just might posssibly have been wrong.

 

Meanwhile the glorious leader is basking in all his glory of being the most beautiful most intelligent the best President America ever has had or ever will have impervious to the truth that most of the word see him as an idiotic deranged clown and Putins puppet.

Actually the Trump brand was started  in 1927.

Donald Trump joined the organization in 1968, began leading it in 1971, renamed it around 1973.

Nope.

 

1885.

 

Trump's Great Grandfather was a cowardly German draft dodger who opened a whorehouse in Yukon.

 

Friedrich Trump, Donald Trump's great-grandfather. Friedrich Trump was a German immigrant who moved to the United States in 1885, reportedly to avoid mandatory military service in Bavaria.

During the Klondike Gold Rush, he went to Canada and operated hotels and restaurants, some of which allegedly included brothels, in the Yukon. 

 

That's when the Trump brand really began.

 

Trump: "Draft Dodging Whoremonger",  since 1885.

 

Any questions, Cubby?

Friedrich Trump was actually Donald’s grandfather and lost his German citizenship over his draft- dodging.

Seems like a lack of a moral compass is baked into the Trump brand.

And let’s not forget— a 1927 New York Times article listed a 'Fred Trump' possibly Trump Snr among those arrested at a Ku Klux Klan riot in Queens — Donald, of course, denies it
