What happens on Monday

The market open down big today, rallied a bit, then continues to deteriorate further today (Friday). Today is worse than yesterday so far and we have another hour and a half. What do you guys think will happen at Monday's open, down or up? People will have time to hear more (bad) news over the weekend. And think about it. Wonder if it will tank more.

I really haven't read any good news from all this tariff action.

(Disclosure: I am long a silver stock I have been holding long-term and short Tesla via TSLQ. Gotta decide if I will stay in TSLQ into Monday.)

After China retaliated I doubt he’s going to lift any at all. He was slapped in the face on the national stage and his ego is to fragil to let that go.

I would love to be a fly on the wall listening in on the backroom discussions happening... Has a hamburger been thrown against the wall yet? Maybe multiple?

I doubt he owns any stocks other than his own.

Nothing like electing a president that has been bankrupt multiple times to only crush our own government.

Technically Trump has never been bankrupt

u/TheOctoBox 2d ago

Six of his businesses have declared for bankruptcy. But I guess technically not him. But you get my point

He slimed his way out. That’s his MO. He only bankrupts investors and now it’s America’s turn.

He had to have known that severe tariffs would tank the market.

Those in the know, his friends and maybe other countries, likely made bank on shorting the market. If and when he gives up on this fool’s errand those same people will benefit from the upturn.

He will be paid back, probably indirectly rather than directly but rest assured he will make money off this episode.

Say all the negative things you want about him and I’ll likely agree with it all, but one think you can’t say is that at this point in his life he hasn’t figured out how to monetize the presidency.

Are you really trying to compare Trump to Buffet?

The guy who bankrupted a casino??

I like how he said China ‘panicked’, like they were just gonna sit around and take a ramming from his fat orange ass.

Also it just proved he has no idea what a tariff actually is. The fact he’s targeting the places we buy from the most is especially big brain super smart move. Smh my head

Well first China said they were going to jointly respond with Korea and Japan.

Instead they responded alone very quickly while other countries are still talking to the Trump admin.

Hard to know what’s really going on either way. It’s not like we can take anything Trump says at face value.

Deflect and point to a new agreement with Chad.

u/SouthLakeWA 2d ago

Or Madagascar. In exchange for eliminating our new tariffs on vanilla beans and cloves, they will remove their import duties on Teslas and semiconductors. A real win-win.

u/Western_Assignment98 2d ago

u/sammyp99 2d ago

Propaganda

u/AnyFaithlessness7991 2d ago

Well he could lift all others except China "to show them to not mess with him"

u/Dr-McLuvin 2d ago

That’s what I’m hoping for something crazy like that.

"Let's negotiate Xi, it will be tremendous!"

u/Slowjams 2d ago

Exactly.

Thats what’s so scary about this to me. Trump operates almost entirely on ego. He will let the people’s livelihood disappear and their retirement evaporate before he admits he’s wrong about something.

This time around he’s also made sure to surround himself with the most sycophantic dick sucks possible. Nobody else is going to tell him he’s wrong either.
