Truly remarkable that Jeff "laughs" at this article detailing the losses suffered by the middle class thanks to the elite shipping jobs overseas. He also laughs at 100,000 teens and young adults dying of fentanyl each year.

I guess as a childless dog-man, he is content moving to Florida, paying cash for his new casa, and living out his years in luxury with nary a concern for the future of America.

Disgusting to laugh at this really thoughtful article.

It is a populist isolationist MAGA diatribe bashing the elites. I am well aware of the author. He worked at the Chicago Tribune for years. Was never impressed. Glad you enjoyed it!

Wall Street Panicans and Democrat Fearmongers: What Do We Owe America’s Children? - John Kass

By John Kass April 9, 2025 Betty and I have an old car that is pushing 200,000 miles. It still runs fine but I was thinking of getting a new one, something fancy, something that speaks to status, to luxury. Something posh. Something with a quiet ride. Something cushy. I look at pictures of fine...

Trump is hardly doing a reset. He raised Chinese tariffs to 125 percent from 104 percent. China is #2 behind Mexico on the list of countries from which we bring in goods. He is quickly approaching a pseudo-ban on Chinese goods.

Again, to SPELL it out, the countries which are cooperating have been rewarded. The countries that are not cooperating are being punished.

You ASSumed Trump would not make any alterations. Negotiations are fluid by nature.

As I said, you would have capitulated totally and likely eliminated tariffs on Chinese goods entirely because they were upset.

It is amazing that you are so invested in Trump that you cannot see reality. Trump is perfect!

1. Dems dox him on social media. He starts a company that gets him Billions !
2. Ownes golf courses around the World for free golf !
3. States AG and Sec of their States don't want him on ballot. He shakes them ALL off !
4. AG convicts him of BS crimes. His popularity goes UP.
5. Has his own 757, bought it used on the cheap.
6. Upgrades to AF 1 and Boeing wants to give him a new plane !
7. Gets Tiger as a potential golf partner.
8. Wins a Pro-Am WITHOUT Tiger !
9. Buys second rate land and buildings in NYC, rehabs them for Billions of net worth.
10. Convinces Melania to sign a pre-nup, that's survived/dated over 20 years old !

Last one; Gives sane people TDS 1.0 AND TDS 2.0 !

The markets are up because Trump is doing a reset. The markets would be continuing to find a bottom if there was not a reset. When that discussion was taking place, the assumption was that Trump would stay the course and not start over.

Hell, you even called out @Buschon for saying the markets would be up in the next 2 weeks. A pretty good call on his part.

The BIGGEST financial news today (Wed) is the 3 % (+/-) drop in Oil !

Oil has the LARGEST impact on inflation !
Not just for transportation costs, but it's use in so many other industries and products , WORLDWIDE.

ALSO;

Which 2 Countries are MOST economic defendant on oil prices to fund their aggressions ?

Trump made this move because he was feeling pressure and had no wins coming in the next few days. It was the right thing to do given the whole tariff rollout was completely botched.

If you want to think he is a genius for fixing a mistake, go right ahead!

You always make excuses - whether it is for dementia Joe, your vote ("I didn't know"), and Trump successes. You are broken. And your panic over the last week was non-stop. Hell, you even called out @Buschon for saying the markets would be up in the next 2 weeks. A pretty good call on his part.

Frankly, when the markets rallied on Monday you were given a chance to see the future based on the Fake News of 90 days. Instead non-stop doom and gloom - precisely the type of people that successful people don't want anywhere near their organization.

Thus far, shock and awe has brought many friends who have taken advantage of us to the table. China stands firm. And now you have exactly what Jeff wanted - tariffs on China and friends, no tariffs on the others.

As I said, Dtrain just doesn't like Trump's style. But, he gets results and with the US political calendar, you don't have time to lose.

Great news! 90 day pause on tariffs!
Time to sort it all out.

Trump announces 90-day pause on tariffs for non-retaliating countries

His stock is UP 20 % TODAY !

Someone will be buying the boat free beers or wine on the 4:30 PM from Wall Street Pier to NJ dock !

75 % of the passengers on that boat are stockbrokers !

OVER 70 + COUNTRIES ARE READY TO DO WHAT TRUMP WANTS !

I was really looking for Best's quote for Jeff to remain calm. Instead, I am highlighting this one.

As noted yesterday, the countries which come to the table will be rewarded. The stubborn Chinese and foolish, politically driven Canadians will suffer.

The number of great side deals will amaze - an easy one to call is Asian funding of LNG and associated infrastructure in Alaska for export to SE Asia.

Today's announcement will also accelerate companies drives to move production to the US, India, Vietnam, SK or anyplace not named China.

Almost as fun as the masterclass that Trump is giving (it will be studied for hundreds of years) is the childish reaction of the Panicans over the last week. A lot of material for psych majors.

DOW UP 2,000 + points as of NOW !

Like I've said don't try to time the market !

The trade I made this AM was up 51 % this AM.

It's now UP 250 % , but like I say don't be a piggy !

Leave some profits for the other guy !

China imports about twenty percent of the amount that they export total to the US. When trade stops, who suffers? China.

A prolonged trade war will accelerate company timetables for moving manufacturing away from China (see Apple). Trump is fundamentally reordering the world. If Japan, SK, India, and Vietnam make quick deals - they win.

I don’t doubt China’s will, but China has systemic issues. Communism lacks the dynamism of a capitalist economy. Trump has the people on his side since most people don’t have large stakes in the market. Inflation way down, oil down, eggs down, taxes down - this will more than make up for a smalll bit of Chinese inflation. Enjoy the negotiation - the master will be studied for centuries to come. The US is in real trouble if this necessary reset fails.

Great news! 90 day pause on tariffs!
Time to sort it all out.

Our AG and FBI Director are at Port Everglades today ( Wed) to announce drug seizure of 45,000 POUNDS of cocaine, valued at $ 500,000,000 Million by the USCG.

I am not sure if this is ANOTHER seizure or one I posted on previously !

BUT since February, JUST the USCG alone has seized 59 metric TONS of illegal narcotics ! (I have no idea of what a metric ton weighs, But ass/u/me it's a lot !)

We should note the DEI head of the USCG was fired !
