All the posts and headlines talking about how much $ these parasites lost are referring to unrealized gains. They didn’t actually lose anything, it’s just the current value of their holdings that’s dropped. I figure Trump and the oligarchs will start buying up shares at rock bottom, magically just before Trump lifts (or dramatically reduces) the tariffs, claiming victory all the while.

Sensible and observant take. You are exactly right and this is what people don’t get. It takes money to make money, and they will have money to make their money back and more, even if their brokerage says $0. They hold assets and real property that is totally separate from the numbers in their banks and stocks.

This is not a wealth transfer, this is a momentary dent in their pocket books which they will fill-in with vigor.

They’re happy to “lose” billions so they can buy more stocks at a discount once us poors have to sell or lose our house.
