Heard & Mcdonald Island will impose a 10% tariff on all imports from the US starting April 10, according to the official Shitpost News Agency.

A lot of puts in the money, max pain far away from current price and slim chances to bounce back, hedge funds will have to sell the underlying in order to remain delta neutral and limit losses, meaning the sell off might continue on Monday. Any opinions?

The market is in panic. The tariffs caused lots of uncertainty. So people feared inflation would come back. But through my research, average Americans only spend couple of hundred dollars on Chinese goods. So Trump’s aggressive tariff on China may not cause inflation a lot. Had the market overreacted? Maybe. I would appreciate if anyone living in the us could share their firsthand experience here. This could help us understand the real impact.

Well, let’s say you had a few billion bucks kicking around. Billions. But, it’s not enough. It’s never enough.

And let’s say you were in a position to manipulate world events such that you could force massive shocks to the economy. Shocks that history, and a couple dozen Nobel prize winning economists, all made clear would tank the market.

So let’s say you quietly liquidated a significant amount of assets to take a cash position. If the market tanked, your cash is solid but at the bottom of the market you can get back in and buy at massive discounts. But of course, how would you know where bottom is?

One possibility would be if you had the power to reverse the actions that caused all the market turmoil so things stabilize. For example, if you could end a trade war initiated by tariffs based on a “formula” that was just false.

So you start a trade war that tanks the market, just like everyone said it would. You watch it go it way down, and then when it’s really bad and you’re ready to jump back in to take advantage of it, you suddenly “make deals” with other countries to resolve the alleged “unfairness”, and then you lift the tariffs

The market stabilizes, you declare victory, and jump back in at bottom to buy at discounts and make billions more.

Not that it could happen in real life. Really just a stones throw from a completely unhinged conspiracy theory. It could never happen in real life…..

I'm also suspicious of these green ones.

Just like Mr. Krabs I like Money. With each USA president change I have to figure out what to short, what to invest in. Green energy or Gas and Oil. This seems to be more like a political site. I don’t see a focus on making money here.

This is what I am doing to make money: When the Tariffs started I started shorting. I have always had Crypto. I was an early investor in Crypto. I am heavy into USA crypto now.
I feel that we will have a response of lower interest rates in the next 6-12 months so it’s a good time to start getting down payments in place and getting pre approved for another investment property.

What is your current focus on making money?

Where do we think the bottom is?
