Trailside22 : he’s about 50% correct. what he fails to understand is that consumers will not go broke if they can’t buy any goods. manufacturers and exporters will go broke if they can’t sell their goods, and pay their loans. then the banks holding those loans will suffer. my bank will not suffer if I can’t buy new electronic devices or cheap clothes or toys.

追跌杀涨 : normally people treat him abnormally.

SKYWalkers : I don't think he has brought anything insightful to the table, he's also limited in seeing just tariffs, like most people, it's a shocker when he said "sell all US stocks". um. ok.
whenever anyone uses "value" and "P/E", I know they are not tuned into what's happening, still using old mindsets.
in general, nothing wrong with what he has said, which is in line with what majority of people think.
and when the market is a zero sum game..... you form your conclusions.

Sumgai : Probably go up next week also. Don’t know if there will be a pullback but I’m waiting to buy some long term puts after Powell speaks.

Dan’l : Japan was a very different country on December 7th, 1941, and most Americans are nothing like our people were back then…
I reckon enough of us still are, whenever push comes to shove.
This economic crisis was not anything that anyone needed: there were other ways, through diplomacy, to incentivize others to honor fair trade agreements.

SKYWalkers OP Dan’l : there's a Chinese saying, "富不過三代", "Wealth stops at the 3rd Generation".
if a generation is 25 years, after WW2, it's now 1945 + 80 years, US's 3rd Generation post war, ended in 2020, what a coincidence in the year, and it's now the 4th Generation, if they make it, they will reverse the curse, if not, it's a sheer decline.
I do hope there's enough Americans pulling up their straps and push forward with the same vigour as during WW2, it's a real War, even though it's now only a Cold War.
