  • It is a little bit like five dimensional chess, I quite agree.   America is dictating everyone at the moment. just look what is happening.    

  • Yeah pretty sad all this is happening in the US right now.   By the way, how is intel doing after Trump got his share?

  • Well, you'd do it now, as the dollar seems to be falling, of course in the future, you wait and see what happens, if the dollar goes up then you don't short it obviously.

You just need to learn to trade Forex. Then you can short the Dollar at will.

 

With a 20, 100, 1000, 5000, or 20000 or  100000 USD account.

Afterall, china do control their own opinions and people and are capable to pull in one direction no matter how it impacts their economy temporarily

Which other countries are queueing up, other than making empty promises to satisfy Trump, as they know tariffs, and maybe even Trump, are a thing of the past soon

Im not going to predict the future, but Donald have a hell of a job to to so he do not lose the allies. If the Americans continue on the same path after Don leaving, Im pretty sure Europe, Africa, South America and Asia looking to China in the future and will make sustainable equal deals with them

Keep dreaming, countries are already committing the money to invest in new factories in the US.

 

Meanwhile in China:

 

China has unveiled new measures to encourage overseas investors to reinvest their profits within the country, its latest efforts to reverse a decline in foreign direct investment.

 

Foreign direct investment in China totalled 358.2 billion yuan ($50 billion) from January to May, down 13.2% from the same period last year, data issued by the commerce ministry showed.

How much was invested by foreign companies, Apple and Eli lilly are not foreign companies, and I don't mean promises, but money invested

You do realise that China is an EXPORT nation, with a domestic market that has a tiny purchasing power?

 

Whereas the US is a mature domestic market with a gigantic purchasing power?

 

You have three guesses as to who will be more affected by a lack of foreign investment.

And this is only for the American marked, and imagine how this will impact the American usd, and salaries if ment for domestic and export sales. What is the plan ?

Well, undoubtedly the building of new factories and the influx of foreign capital will strrengthen the US Dollar.

 

Salaries will go up.

 

Yes, the plan is to decrease the US Dollar in value, but there are ways to get that done.

But you just said that foreign were queueing up, then you next post was full of could be, looking at, considering, maybe's.

 

Like I said, all empty promises to make Trump feel good and reduce the tariffs, but knowing very well most of this will never happen.

Apple claims 600 billion investment, although they don't even make that kind of money over 5 years.

 

As for your request for a guess, I see 1 country going down already, and you can make 3 guesses as to which one i'm talking about

Just now, CallumWK said:

They are, they are, but actually in the first quarters of 2025 even in the US foreign investment has tailed off somewhat.

China of course. Poor China. Rising unemployment, foreign investment way down, real estate values plummeting. Growth forecasts paired back.

 

China is really on the ropes now.

Imagine playing chess with 5 major opponents at the same time at a giga board, pluss 191 others who wants their pieces to, and America going to dictate everyone at the same time? 

 

How do you think this will enroll?

 

not to forget all the world multibillioneers and companies owned by major shareholders.
