Who here follows the financial media?
Energy and metals are just not my thing. i use real estate to store my value. I cash out every few years and add a small rental house to my holdings. I have a retirement account like most people but for my active accounts i like to keep them sized right so i am never caught out. I would hate sitting there with everything i earned in my life in play and being forced to sell in a down turn. I also use collectibles to store value. But I am not so sure this is not just for my own amusement more than anything. Am I really going to trade a watch for bullets if the zombie apocalypse comes? I fell this way about physical gold as well. The old man on TV saying he is safe with his gold coins, is he really going to be able to do anything with them if it gets real? Not so convinced. -

Economy Thailand May Be Spared from US Tariff List
title --> Thailand May Be Spared from US Tariff List Question: what in this article supports this might happen? 1. Strong Economic Ties Analysis: canada and mexico also have strong if not stronger ties... 2. Proactive Engagement: Thai officials are actively engaging in discussions with American firms, such as Seagate Technology, and are preparing proposals aimed at strengthening trade relationships. This proactive approach demonstrates Thailand's commitment to maintaining and enhancing its trade relations with the U.S. Analysis: engaging in discussions doesnt count for much on the scale of things 3. Export Performance: Thailand's export scene to the U.S. showcases impressive agricultural prowess, with significant exports in dog and cat food, rice, flavored tuna, and juices. The strong performance in these sectors may contribute to favorable considerations in trade negotiations. Analysis: Thailand's substantial trade surplus with the United States—approximately $45.6 billion in 2024 —has placed it under scrutiny in the context of U.S. tariff considerations. President Trump's "reciprocal tariff" policy aims to address such imbalances by imposing tariffs on countries with significant surpluses . the solution is clear, but none of this is mentioned here: while Thailand's export performance underscores its economic capabilities, addressing the trade imbalance through increased U.S. imports, tariff adjustments, and strengthened bilateral ties is central to its strategy to avoid potential U.S. tariffs. what is this guy Commerce Minister Pichai Naripthaphan smoking? Must be real good stuff. He should have mentioned that he can export some of this weed to the americans. Might gloss things over and after all, wee is a cash crop now in thailand Oh BTW... what is flavored tuna? some kind of popsicle? I think I'll pass on that one. -

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker Calls for Mobilization Against "Madman" Trump's Authoritarianism
The top of the ticket this time logically will be a white guy. they need to find one that is likeable in their party if there is one. Trump won't be running so this schtick isn't going to play. I can't think of anybody with a more unappealing disposition than this guy. AOC? Not sure from what i have seen she will be just as fat as this guy in a couple of years. Get somebody that is good natured, has some humor and isn't absolutely horrible to look at. This guy is way too ugly to win. -
