Stock Market is the bottom in?

[jsasker007]

They flipped it back?

That was a nice but brief moment of extreme price swings. Volatile to say the least. People are wanting into the market while things are on sale. I'm one of 'em. Selling off the stocks that are up to buy the stocks that are way down, and repeat. It'll be more in taxes but you don't pay taxes if you don't make profit so I'm ok with having to pay taxes.

I have been doing my own research and the tariffs on that board are not even close to reality. If you research, "World Trade Organization Tariffs" you can find many articles on the average tariffs that every country in the world has for imports and exports and they are much lower than the number on the chart. Simply put is is a lie to say it is a reciprocal tariff. The chart is doing a math formula which mostly includes the trade deficit with other countries. This is where the logic ends for me.......
Example.....if we buy a million dollar of bananas from Honduras and they buy nothing form us because they need nothing from us then how is putting a tariff on Honduras going to change anything. They are still buying nothing from us but the American people are then paying a tax on bananas to our government. On the other hand it could hurt Honduras if we buy less bananas, but is that the answer? The reason we have a trade deficit with every country is because we Americans can afford much more than necessities, I want a banana.

I actually thought about the price of bananas the other day. For what ever reason I don’t know but I usually eat one a day. I put 6 bananas on the scale and print out the little sticker and it’s usually $1.10 to $1.15. If I get 8 it might go up to $1.30. One thingI’m not concerned about in the tariffs situation is the price of bananas. LOL.

Pump fake. False report that the tariffs were being paused. Race to the bottom continues

Haven't heard much about egg prices lately. Always thought they were being sold too cheap before. jmo

Everyone is after the cheap NVDA shares. Maybe they are finally where they should have been the entire time?

It's getting very difficult to find correct information. This is not the end of the world. Also, any of the current agreements(tariffs) can be altered in the future. This stock market panic reminds me of every time gas prices go up. We get conditioned by the higher prices and when it drops slightly everyone is tickled about it even though the prices didn't even come close to getting back to where they were before the big hikes. Example: gas was $2 and went up to $4.50. Gas drops down to $4.00 and people are happy about it. Conditioning. jmho

I would agree normally very difficult to find correct information, but not in this case because by looking at World Trade Organization records you can go back for past years. So look at tariffs in 2021, 2022,2023,2024 for the world and this information is before politics got involved, data before Trump was elected, long before he put tariffs in place.

I got out of NVDA at $133. I'm buying back some but not going hog wild.

I always wonder just how good would a banana taste if it was allowed to ripen before being picked? I'll never know due to shipping times.

If anybody on here ever goes to Honduras, pick and eat a ripe one and let me know.

Good long term buy ! I’m not sure about others , but I buy looking out 2-10 years. Accumulate great companies .

Apple is looking like a buy again !

I'd be pretty cautious at this point ... definitely wouldn't do anything until after Wednesday (4-9) even if there is a little bounce back on Monday or Tuesday. Folks, we're in uncharted waters with the possibility of a full blown tariff war. Y'all may have bigger gonads than me and I'm pretty risk willing when things are more normal (whatever that is).
For example it's not inconceivable that a darling of 2024 - Palantir - could be trading between 50-60 per share by Thursday or Friday. If one recently bought it at 100 (at that point it was down 20% from 2025 high) as a dip'n'flip opportunity, you have lost 25% at 75 per share. If it hits 50, as some analyst believe it might, it would have to double to get you back to your original purchase price.
Earlier, I believe someone on this thread ask, "Did the matador kill the bull?" Certainly for the tech stocks! Let's hope the bull merely limped over to the side of the ring in order to come roaring back at some point in the near future (within a year).

I bought Palentir at $110

Been saying this for years. We were paying $1.50/gal in PA before hurricane Katrina wrecked the refineries. Those refineries have long been rebuilt and now we're still paying $3.50/gal.

The off shoring/departure from U.S. based hyperscalers has begun.

Unintended consequence. Many, many more to come.

Hopefully with the ending of the penny we can do away with these little germ factory cups. I never take from them but I can’t stand change in my pocket so if I get a chance I will empty all my change into these cups. Often wishing I had a camera on them to see people picking out the dimes and quarters. LOL.

Playing Red light, green light in the markets today.

Sorry man, I can’ be more specific.

As soon as I see public information, I’ll share it, but just as European governments know that they need to depend less on the United States, European business is starting to do the same

Businesses don't give a rat's a-- about American workers, or the U.S. economy. If they did, why offshoring of any kind?? Better still ..... why the global race to install AI in every possible endeavor??? The business community isn't even hiding the fact that AI will wipe out millions and millions of jobs globally. How is this current specter of tariffs and AI cause for jubilation??? The global paradigm has shifted ..... and it is not favoring working people anywhere. So the question is, how will the world economy stay afloat? The winners will be - as they always are - the very richest 1%.

Lots more pain to come ...... lots. Buy these dips?? Just remember that markets are based on speculation of the masses. The masses aren't feeling too cheery of late. Until the masses start feeling safe & hopeful again ..... look for more drops, as they yank their hard-earned $$$ out & head for calmer waters. Waiting to see a shift in trends.

Goldman Sach's Chief economist Jan Hatzius and billionaire fund manager Bill Ackman are not happy with T----'s global trade war. Jamie Dimon, CEO of J.P. Morgan Chase, recently said he underestimated the shock to global trade of T----'s tariffs. They, and many other economists are saying the "global order" has been trashed. If the big-boy, private-jet players aren't happy at all ...... how do the "little people" expect to fare well?? Most folks don't have $$$multi-millions and $$$billions to sit on, to wait out the carnage. Just sayin' ......
