The Steross Market and Investing Thread

Yes, insider trading. No, not straight from the executive branch.

While you say you aren't MAGA, TBH, the thing that you do that is most MAGA to me is try to relate things Trump does to history that is vaguely similar but fundamentally different. Like him or not, we should all agree he isn't just following the playbook that has been done in the past.
MAGA or not. You guys act like you're 1 bad Trump day from becoming Frank Gallagher.

I just choose to be happy, no matter who is POTUS.

How should you approach the day if you work w international families here on student visas and their elementary school children come into your office everyday because they are being told at school they are going to be sent to prison in other countries and won’t ever see their parents again?

How very privileged of you to get to be happy w how this admin is behaving.

I was equally as unhappy with how Biden was running his clown show.

or you work for a Global Company that has People from 100+ different countries working in offices all over America and they have to suspend their Work travel and miss important international Meetings because they aren't sure if they leave the country on a Valid Work Visa if they will be Allowed Back with the Same Valid Work Visa they had once come here on.

Or multiple different departments having to write contingency plans based on what will be the order of succession for positions if some of those positions are held by LEGAL Immigrants but this admin decides to Deport them anyway on Whim and how do you keep work flow unimpacted when (IT ALREADY HAS) happens

OR you import some goods to the US and then export those goods to Canada and Mexico or South America. Now you are hit with Multiple Tariffs and increased your costs by a Factor of 10 OR HIGHER, because the logistics system you have set up and utilize your company relied on the promises set up in the NAFTA and USMCA for Trade policy.

Now the USMCA that Trump himself signed (he now calls horrible) and has scrapped in favor of insane Tariffs has made your Logistics plan an Exuberant Expense and cost for the company that will need to be passed on to Customers via MUCH higher prices.

Just all Sunshine and Rainbows out here in Trump's America
 
Oh yeah. I'm saying I hope they didn't intentionally tank the market so they could massively profit off it a few days later. No question people knew the tarrifs were gonna get lifted beforehand.
Pretty sure they tanked it for exactly that reason. I was saying that about his Mexico and Canada tariff game in March, and now it looks like was just a practice run for this one.

Question is who is on the Signal group chat about the timing of announcements.

This attitude of privilege is the thing that makes this most difficult for me.

Sure it’s easy to chose to be happy if you get to spend all day every day w your head buried in your @$$.

People like you are actually living this chaos every day. Dealing w logistics and economics is difficult in and of itself but dealing w people making difficult decisions and being forced into difficult decisions is heart breaking. It’s happening to a lot of people and families.

I can be happy and not be pleased with how a President is conducting himself. You should give it a try.
Choosing to be happy is a good thing and doesn’t require you to be ignorant. However, allowing someone, even someone powerful like the President, to negatively affect your attitude and/or feelings does seem like a poor decision.
 
I'm saying your weak go-to is to accuse everyone who doesn't see things your way of being a nazi. Is that clear enough for you?
Didn’t say you were a nazi Francis. Also I don’t recall saying anyone was a nazi.

And that’s what I counted on your response being. It’s your MO.

Another BS ad hominem attack.

Political conversation on a political board....how dare we?

I'm very happy, no matter who is POTUS, and I can be happy while still understanding and calling out wrongdoing by a POTUS.

They aren't mutually exclusive in any manner.

Doesn't appear you've reached that point of "not caring who's mad, what they're mad about, who they're recruiting to be mad with them".

If you had, you wouldn't be here actually arguing with the folks that are mad about how they shouldn't be mad.

Maybe at this point you should just stay out of it and enjoy the peace instead of wasting your time and effort convincing others.

Since you claim to not care and all.
