I took a mental health break from the news, aside from EU news.

What's gonna happen on April 2nd again?

u/punktualPorcupine 15d ago edited 13d ago

April 2nd is when Trumps tariffs kick in.

Trump: a tariff on all your houses!

World: We’re going to just tariff your shit dawg.

Trump: ohh yeah you can’t tariff my tariffs, I tariff you to infinity and beyond!

World: infinity plus one.

Trump: PLUS INFINITY!

u/prodigal_john4395 12d ago

Republicans need tariffs to partially offset more tax cuts for their wealthy donors. They are just having consumers pay for them up front, rather than just adding them to the dificits as they did in the past. If trump does not declare victory and fold like a cheap suit on tariffs, yes, puts will be the way. We have to make a higher low on the SPY though, 573 would be great, but for mm's to suck in more retail, gotta get some FOMO going...Tesla will revisit $100 this year. Even "Big Balls" will not be able to cook the books to make it look profitable.

More tarrifs, probably

Global.

u/BigDaddyCosta 15d ago

Then he’s going to try and find someone else to tariff. After the whole world that is.

Colonize Mars, then tariff the shit out of them.

u/flatis666 15d ago

Supposedly, global tariffs.

u/Swaayyzee 15d ago

According to Trump, the liberation of America.

According to people who have been negotiating with Trump, he’s going to enact global tariffs.

u/awildchuba 15d ago

How fucked is the US economy? :/

8

u/HelloImTheAntiChrist 15d ago

Absolutely and totally fucked. Fucked 6 ways to Sunday.

2

u/amusingvillain 15d ago

"Absolute" is very vague, i need a number on this. On a scale of 1-10, where 10 implies "ultimately and utterly fucked to oblivion", how fucked is the US economy again?

3

u/lunaeo 15d ago

You need a 🍌 for scale.

7

u/GunsouBono 15d ago

Detailed list of tariffs for each country... Probably worldwide. Up until now, it's been knee jerk reactions I guess based on Trump's mood. April 2 is supposedly firm numbers based on some sort of economic review.

I've been diligent in organising my feeds. I like reading stuff related to my hobbies like movies and photography😆 Also like I said, I still read EU news

Tariffs on the entire world, supposedly.

u/modthefame 15d ago

The absolute stunning hubris of all this is going to go down in history as a whole new kind of shitfest. The carnage Trump and Putin have successfully launched at the American people will change everyone on earth's perspective of governance and will influence all new nightmares.

u/jasoncyke 15d ago

Tariffs on you, tariffs on him, tariffs on her, tariffs on everyone!

What is happening on April 2nd?

u/Constant-Twist9233 15d ago

The Liberation of America apparently. Which just means the rich get richer and the rest of us get kicked into the gutter where we belong.

Hey fellow future gutter dweller!

u/Calculonx 15d ago

The day history gets written.

It needs a fancy name like Black Monday. Wacky Wednesday?

16

u/diqster 15d ago

I think, "the day that nothing happens". Market is sure acting like it's either not going to happen or it's a nothingburger (priced in). This might age poorly. If tariffs are not called off by close on March 28, I fully expect the reaction to be on March 31 (and down bigly). Market not going to wait until April 2.

u/1980cpz 15d ago

Like what you did there - bigly

u/HowGayCanIGo 15d ago

Too bad the fuhrer didn’t pick a different arbitrary date like April 4th. Fascist Friday would have been perfect.

I thought they'd invent better drugs by now...

Ah, who am I kidding, nothing beats a pack of glue and a brick 'o weed.

well once they get rid of the dea and its mandate - better drugs inbound to your local gun shop - you should shoot, these guns, when your really high - what a rush!

So this is going to be the dippiest of dips? We're gonna go from the dip of the dip of the dip, to the dip of the dip of the dip of the dip?

I don't know how much more dip I can take. i'm gonna need another bag of chips

u/Lumpy_Chemical9559 15d ago edited 15d ago

In my personal opinion the Volatility will get a lot worse before it gets better. Of course no one really knows but we need to start listening to the signs. Trump and his administration are literally saying “the market will feel it” and there will be an “adjustment period”. Berkshire Hathaway stockpiling cash, massive layoffs of high paying jobs, most future projected economic factors recently downgraded, Trade wars with Allies and enemy’s. And all of this coming after multiple record years of gains in the market….I know what I’m going to do with my money.

2

u/DrossChat 14d ago

Yeah fr. As always nothing is certain but there is a loooonnng way down and honestly no clear path back up. EU is already coalescing under pretense that the US can no longer be trusted. You can’t just completely undo that in 4 years with a sane administration.

Most of this shit can’t be fully undone for years. The thing about reputation is you can take a lifetime to build one and ruin it in a day.

u/MerisiCalista 15d ago

Sad but true.

u/_MichaelHawk 15d ago

Posts like these remind me that it's priced in. I gotta get rid of my puts early now :(

11

u/zkesh 15d ago

I’d say it’s not fully priced in because nobody knows if orange man is going to pull back or actually go through with further tariffs on April 2nd.

6

u/kemb0 15d ago

I also guess the global response isn't priced in yet because we don't know what exactly that'll be.

10

u/thedoommerchant 15d ago

At least we will have the switch 2 reveal to soften the blow a little bit.

9

u/Best-Expression-7582 15d ago

And since they haven’t announced the price yet they can just bake the tariffs into the launch price… weeee

8

u/ytman 15d ago

This is literally the least likely day for it to happen merely because he's said it would.

 He'll postpone it .

u/maringue 15d ago

Trump just pussied out on his deadline with NYC to end congestion pricing, so why wouldn't he cave on this too?

Unless the 30 day delay was ONLY meant to get this year's supply of fertilizer into the country so farmers wouldn't be outraged at Trump until next year.

Tariffs are gonna kick in for a few days until trumpet pulls them back and pushes for another date in the next month. Dude legit thinks he's playing a game of chess

Is it a coincidence that new tariffs are effective T+2 on quarterly option expiration.
