  1. Quantitative easing will cause inflation. Which is exactly what trump ran on and was supposed to stop day 1. You know, help the working class. So that result is a loss for them in a big way. Do you believe that was the planned ending for the tariffs? I don't. Neither did Bill Ackman: The whipsaw-like nature of Wednesday could be seen in the social media posts of Bill Ackman, a hedge fund billionaire and Trump supporter. “Our stock market is down,” Ackman posted on X. “Bond yields are up and the dollar is declining. These are not the markers of successful policy.” Ackman repeated his call for a 90-day pause in the post. So trump finally blinked and pretended he had played the markets and won. maybe he did thru insider trading but he sure didn't help the working class. You seemed to have done a 180 on tariffs, now targeting US companies. Better late than never. But what stops those companies from leaving the US all together. In retrospect, things relatively wonderful before the tariffs. So do you believe the 90 day "pause" should be permanent? Should we continue the trade war with China? My answers are yes and no. But at least we seem to agree that this whole thing was/is a massive SNAFU...
  2. yeah, the first one seems a peach. but I'll need to verify. Look at a typical crowd pic from a trump rally. You'll see lots of overripe and overgrown peaches. She's dumb but smart enough to be on the right side. But you're correct. Some people ain't gonna win regardless off anything...sadly, some will lose regardless. Life ain't always fair. but usually...
  3. yup. we are a country composed of 1/2 morons. not a recipe for success. The chinese have a definite advantage. They don't let morons have a say.
  4. yeah, we don't want you back. Some of my compatriots might disagree. You know what I most admired about last weekends protests? Civility..Class. Candor. The 3 C's. and cleanliness was a fourth. No one smelled and there was no littering. oh, and college educated women can be very attractive. there was this comeoniwanna laya party at Skidmore...maybe they still do it. Most of the males at Skidmore were gay so it was a nice party for straight guys.
  5. uh huh. Strategic tariffs. Not 10% around the globe, 25% on cars. 100+ % and growing on China. You're an idiot. I'd much rather her doing the dealing than your moronic, obese, mentally ill (narcissistic personality disorder) cult leader. He's not winning. He showed today that he's losing. If you can't see that, good luck winning personally. No man. He's just a liar. He's good enough at it that idiots on this board believe and defend him.
  6. She's so much smarter than these rubes. Prophets are rarely appreciated or recognized. It's in the bible. Perhaps one of the maga fanatics here can quote chapter and verse.
  7. nah, I'll listen to the banker in my bookclub. And what about China? Ya think if pushed hard enough, the Japanese or any country buying US debt won't retaliate? They'll use every weapon available as will trump. He and you both need to read the "Art of War". Much better than the other bs art book.
  8. it's 4.72 right now dude. pull the trigger. you are so full of shite. it hit 5 overnight before trump balked. https://ycharts.com/indicators/30_year_treasury_rate here's a helpful site for you to invest https://www.treasurydirect.gov/marketable-securities/treasury-bonds/ bill vs bond. educate me "captain" https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/033115/what-are-differences-between-treasury-bond-and-treasury-note-and-treasury-bill-tbill.asp
  9. He lost. The good ole boys (D edition) were talking tonight. Bond market caused the fold by trump. t bill's yield went up due to Japan and Euro dollars leaving T bills. They can do it again. China didn't even participate. We don't hold the best hand. This sucks...nobody had a good answer as to what to invest in. It's unknowable with this asshat in control.
  10. that's easy to say in retrospect. NC and catturd were posting pics of trumps leaking ear and pronouncing he'd never surrender...churchill like. except churchill was amazing. trump is a buffoon.
  11. How many ways can you saty "stark". Even in 1997. but you do you. other strange people also seemed to like it. The Boatman's Call received almost unanimous critical acclaim upon release with many reviewers citing it as Cave's most poignant album. Writing in NME, James Oldham concluded that the album is "a stark look at all that he's been through, recounted with withering bleakness and arid humour", noting "Cave's magnificent lyrics, riddled with comic misanthropy and New Gospel humanity", and "their starkly beautiful accompaniments".[6] The magazine rated it as the 23rd best album of 1997
  12. if they're paying $1/hour for labor in China (likely much less), you need a tariff of somewhere near 1000%. for manufactured goods. This isn't rocket surgery...
  13. I doubt the maga's will read this far on the fox reporter piece e but holy shite. This is some of what he said. the rest is as bed. If you have a mass sale of bonds, that means people are losing confidence in the US economy, on the ability to do deals with us; and from what I understand, this is what forced the hand of this 90-day reprieve. Now, is it a good thing? Are people coming to the table? Yeah, but if, you know, if you read between the lines and not even what what Scott Bessent said, we have no deals, right? There’s nobody that is really there saying, “This is what we’re gonna do,” and they paused it anyway. So, my thing is, well, I’ll give you this: there is some “Art of the Deal” here. And, by the way, brilliant move by putting China in the corner, but that’s a whole separate thing because remember, that’s a very difficult negotiation. Everybody else is a lot easier. They do want to deal with us — whether they want to be, you know, forced into really bad trade deals on their end is a whole other negotiating story
  14. I suspect we had near calamity in the bond market. He was told. He finally listened. And he tried to save face and the US economy by capitulating. This could have been worse than too big to fail 2008 near disaster (which also added trillions to the debt).
  15. paywalled but this was definitely the straw that broke the camels back. Hope the risk has returned somewhat to normal but I doubt it. No one trusts us. And for good reason.
  16. When was the last time a 30 year T bill promised 5%? Make a case as to why it's nonsense. You're clearly interested. Can't make that excuse. Gasparino is Fox senior business reporter. Not exactly a liberal. https://www.mediaite.com/news/foxs-gasparino-argues-trump-didnt-outsmart-the-world-and-tariff-drop-was-forced-by-bond-selloff-those-markets-were-imploding-last-night/
  17. A 79 yo adolescent narcissist is trying to run the global economy. The real masters of the universe are looking for a hitman.
  18. some of these conservative comments are priceless https://www.mediaite.com/trump/this-is-all-so-stupid-conservatives-exhale-then-fume-about-trumps-mercurial-tariff-pause/ I would have taken retiring on time over being this right about everything. Markets obviously happy about this, but the problem is not solved until Congress takes away the old man's car keys. 11:05 AM · Apr 9, 2025
