Its dropped 5% now, but what % did it rise when he won?

Since he took office it is down 5%.

Mostly since he implemented his tariff/tax policy that he didn’t detail before taking office.

Ad which seems to change daily.

Everyone is poorer, even the billionaires. The number one lost service is legal due process. There are also many agencies also disabled by Musk and his cyber-vandals.

Stock rise and fall, any one that's an investor knows this, its part of the game. If they're smart they will buy now.

I bet any money it won't be reported when the markets rise

They do not normally rise and fall this quickly. What the market wants is stability. With an unstable criminal in the White House, there is no market stability. Investors will move offshore, just like Ford.

It's not the stocks that are so worrying. It's the bonds:

 

Treasuries Suddenly Trade Like Risky Assets in Warning to Trump

April 11, 2025 at 2:50 AM UTC
Updated on April 12, 2025 at 12:55 AM UTC

Billed on Wall Street as so rock-solid safe they’re risk-free, US Treasury bonds have long served as first port of call for investors during times of panic. They rallied during the global financial crisis, on 9/11 and even when America’s own credit rating was cut.
But now, as President Donald Trump unleashes an all-out assault on global trade, their status as the world’s safe haven is increasingly coming into question.

In the event that there was a snap US election tomorrow in the possible event he was no longer the Ooompa Loompa in  chief who would you vote for?

 

D.T, the first and only Commander in chief of US military who  waged the war of Nonsense against the western allies.

Really deserves the firing squad instead of the presidency.

Unsure about Penguins' level intelligence and emotional stability.

But at least, they don't harm others by own stupid decisions, unlike someone else in the oval office.

if tariffs are so bad, then why does every country have them on the usa?  and why is it... all these countries have trade surpluses with the usa?

Obviously, some have been afflicted  with the President Trump disease where their every thought is revolved around hating the President.  It seems they are now advocating voting for a penguin. Very sad indeed and I hope they get help.

First of all, you might as well ask why does the USA have them on virtually every country even before Trump ever took office? The sensible question to ask is how high are tariffs other countries imposed and how did they compare to US tariff before Trump took office,

Yes putting a Penguin on the ballot is silly, but apparently the Dems have approached Zelensky and Taksin Shinawatra as potential runners..but this is only a rumour..Of course that would leave the Penguin out in the cold.

Which is where a penguin would prefer to be. Flamingos are better built for the heat. And I just learned from my spellchecker that the plural form for the word isn't flamingoes.

Give it a couple of months days before the next U-turn, rinse and repeat.

How can any business do any forward planning with this guaranteed uncertainty?

If they're selling $1.4 million of electronics to the USA (2022), they're sure smarter than the average penguin.

Trump was claiming credit. It didn’t last long and is down 5% since he took office.

 

Give it a couple of months, the tariff taxes have only just been applied.

And removed yet again!!
