Helluva year

These seem like they will rise a little if the Trump noise dies down come summer, but if we hit recession stage later this year, watch the flip out. Because this is a hideous start.

You regularly make things up here, as we saw yesterday with your Elon news.

No doubt you regularly make up and exaggerate your market moves too.

Nope took the figure right off the AI post on the Internet !

I have led a varied and interesting life, that some would doubt because of their hum drum lives.

Here's another; Met NYAG Letitia James at a crime symposium at Orange County Community College, Newburgh, NY !
She was quite large and had only one Driver/Security a retired Law Enforcement. She was polite !

You’re as good at making up excuses as your made up stories.

You could easily just say you were wrong and confusingly posted a news story from 6 months ago (that also just happened to occur on the 24th of a month). Double down instead.

Trump has two weeks to save America from empty shelves

As imports from China dwindle, US retailers face a difficult choice: pay the tariffs or suffer shortages

www.telegraph.co.uk

Seems like it is going to hit the fan in about a month. At the rate trade deals are being done, the stores shelves may look like they did during the early covid days. Ah, the memories.

R.I.F.
The "forecast" of empty shelves is from retailers who are scaling back their own orders. Why? It's because they're afraid consumers won't buy price-sensitive goods (as in cheap stuff) at higher prices or they might just wait out the tariffs until they're reduced... leaving retailers stuck with higher cost inventory. Things people actually need will be there to puchase.

Just more TDS 2.0. (PPU).

I checked my Roth Account from 01/25/2025, which is back 3 months.

Entered 31 option trades, Calls and Puts. Average % gain or Loss = 64 % UP. aggregate.

We got daily Rasmussen reports updates for awhile, but they’ve suddenly stopped. Weird.

Could just be noise… LOL

 

[flight 33]

It’s sad that this even needs to be said

 

[ILisBest]

As of yesterday, there are 18 written offers on for tariff reductions !

He's going to pull it off !

He needs closed deals, badly.

I think you are correct. We will be in a better international trade place when these are done.

Trump's meme coin, which had fizzled in value, surges after offer of dinner with the president

President Trump's meme coin had lost 88% of its value. But an offer of dinner with the president helped boost its price on Wednesday.

What's most funny about this is that the entire MAGA train hangs by a single thread. The belief that this "great businessman" knows a lot about the economy and will generally enhance prosperity. I think we could elect JP Morgan and this wouldn't ensure enhanced prosperity, but people put a lot on the President when it comes to economics.

If the economy comes up short in 2025/early 2026, it's going to get real ugly from a political perspective. We are talking about double digit Dem wins in the 2026 House vote ugly.

I'm pretty sure you remember me complaining about it.

Biden was a corrupt old hack, and his son is somehow worse.

Trump is at least more inventive in his corruption lol.

Honest mistake letting him in. What would give a clue that he was a gang member?

Odd that you don't give a crap about 20 M illegals being shipped into the country and China owning YOUR president. You do however give a crap about the 20M illegals being deported.

What truly bothers you is publicly marketed Trump branded merchandise? Your wife must hate what you have become. Who cares that he sells stuff that people want.

I don't care that you can buy Bill & Hillary stuff online or that Bill Clinton presidential massage parlor in Little Rock. That's America! Hey DJ, how many original Hunter paintings do you own?

Trump is allowing people to buy access. You don't believe that someone who buys a large amount of worthless crypto wants nothing from Trump.

It is not surprising that MAGA can't imagine the possibilities when it comes to Trump.

Must protect your fearless leader who can do no wrong. It's one thing to sell hats and other junk. It is a whole different ballgame to sell worthless crypto and make a few billion. Trump is giving access to people who bought the most. It doesn't take much imagination to see this is a way to buy imfluence with Trump.

How much did you buy? Get any Hawk Tuah coins?

Every serious person in the Crypto industry considers meme coins a complete scam. It seems bad that one is being pumped via a "meet the President" angle.

Since you say he is giving access, prove it. Please let me know who is buying his crypto for access.

You have completely lost it. We know the Democrats loved lawfare against Trump - so surely it was investigated. Draino loves lawfare - more billable hours and the real winners are lawyers!

TJ asked me why I'm still here today.

Shiz ... the last month of the Trump Show has been deeply satisfying. Horrendously thought out plans resulting in real carnage and obvious voter concerns. Classic stuff.

Here's what's interesting. I really didn't like Trump, didn't vote for him in 2016. But within 6 months, it seemed clear he was running a relatively standard GOP Admin and it was the Dems who were completely off the reservation.

Can anyone say that today? Which side looks crazy? Trump with the restraint of the GOPe had some upside politically, what we are seeing in Term 2, even though I'm not against all the policies, is almost all politically negative.

It's so frigging moronic to say things like "the west wanted war in Ukraine" it actually makes you seem like the court jester. Kind of a sad funny.

The West wanted that war so bad they ignored Putin taking Crimea and meddling in the Donbas for 8 years, under three Admins - one being Trump 1. Putin's "rebel" incursion petered out without the gains he wanted, so he went for the real war, which has also largely failed.

Congrats to him for the million or so casualties of his own countrymen he's managed in that morass. Still bogged down 50-60 miles off his own border. Truly pathetic.

With all the talk of EV's, apparently Bezos is part of an effort to bring a new EV truck to market. Sounds like it has a long way to go to become reality but they are saying 2026. (It also sounds improbable but hey rich guys can throw money around however they want)

I think it is interesting that Bezos has jumped into space and EV's. Bit of a rivalry with Musk?

One outlet has called it the "anti-Tesla," referring to its simple, minimalist stature.

ps. charging stations. Tesla had a proprietary network that is pretty good. The 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law had a bunch of money in it for charging stations and apparently Tesla was enticed to open up their network to other manufacturers. (Also, Consumer Reports says they make money off of other companies using their chargers.) Most manufacturers are having to redesign some things to use the Tesla network but it is coming.

History is your friend. Not all of our motives our pure, it makes you look ignorant. John McCain was all over Kiev in his final years. NATO wouldn't offer a hard NO to Ukraine.

No better place to test weaponry than in someone else's backyard in an actual war. Even better to test it in a war without US deaths.

And you finish off your ignorant post by blaming Trump! Crimea - taken under Obama. Trump 1: Nothing taken. Defensive weaponry given/sold to Ukraine. US energy production way up. Sanctions on Russia pipelines. Biden: Trump sanctions removed. Full scale invasion 13 months into the administration. But, yeah, it is Trump's fault. Truly pathetic.
