Forgetting the thread about the market dropping, saw this today.. i
thought the markets were closed on weekends? How does this work?

 

"Dow futures fall 1,500 points Sunday as Trump tariff market rout
escalates" ( and others dropped as well according to that story )


I always wondered that, too. My best guess is that even though trades are executing, people are still entering or changing orders, so what they're tracking is the bid and ask movement. Same way markets can gap at the open.

Yes, after hours trading is a thing.

Is it right? No. it cuts out the little guy, and how many manipulate the market  in secret, in the process of getting rich(er).

Regardless of my personal feelings about tariffs, or being a bully, this will make him appear weak to the world. "push back hard, he will back down" is the message being sent here.

 

"President Donald Trump signaled Tuesday evening from the Oval Office that the U.S. will ease tariffs on China, saying they’ll “come down substantially” but won’t be eliminated entirely."

Mr. Trump knows how to negotiate, particularly with people from other cultures (like Asia for example). Unless we hit another Great Depression I'm going to trust that he knows what he's doing.

THe whole point of the tariffs is that others are tariffing the US and it's time to stop let the abuse flow in only one direction. The objective is to bring the tariffs down (preferably to zero) bilaterally.

Will it work? I'm not an economist. I'm not even as insightful on economics as LoanShark. But the objective seems pretty clear to me. It's got to be better than just giving away the farm the way others have.

He only knows how to be a bully.  I hope it blows up in his face. And yes i understand the consequences.

It's funny how the pendulum of politics *increases* its swing as it moves.
Every administration is a bigger and bigger response to the previous one.

Now there's one I disagree with. There should be a 1000000000000000000% excise tax on anything coming out of Hollywood. Make it stop, please.

I'm hoping this is just another example of Trump's cabinet members talking out of their asses. I don't know why Trump puts up with that.

We need to restore the balance of trade by blowing up the Three Gorges Dam.
