Wow the foundations of modernity were built on the flawed assumptions of dead old men! The mistake of the present is always thinking everything is figured out and set in stone.

Speaking as a bull, it's tough to be optimistic for an upswing in the near future. Considering this downtrend is completely manufactured by Trump's party, and he can always just... make shit even worse, if that's his design goals.

GFC honestly was just a big bank run, could be solved through traditional financial methods eg money printing , QE , etc
This is a huge structural change to the supply side of the economy. Gutting imports will create huge shortages of goods which we cannot manufacture for 3-5 years and even if we did, it would be at much lower efficiency.
Honestly wouldn’t be surprised if this is worse than the GFC if 🥭doesn’t back down

Went over to this chick house a bit ago who’s married to another chick but she’s bi and the marriage is open and it was uh interesting. We engaged in intercourse and overall it was very nice. Idk what the fuck i expected out of it tbh, I get home and she says we have very different values and “she’s a lot more radicalized than I am” and she would like to be my “good friend” after fucking my brains out. WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT EVEN MEAN GUYS.

u/Barlored Balder the Dude the Harder I Would 10m ago
Going to explain to ya'll when tariff, and why dumb:
You use them to protect certain industries. You have dairy farmers, but big milk from where ever land keeps undercutting their milk. So you apply tariffs. Now your farmers can still make a profit, but your citizens pay more for milk.
Smarter move: bring in milk from where ever land, because it's cheaper, and export something they dont have. It's a win-win.
If I make $10/day of profit selling milk, vs. $1000/day selling chip designs, I make chip designs.
You may need milk for national security, so you apply a super high tariff on it so you make sure you have dairy farmers incase your trade partner stops trading with you (cause war or whatever). Here's the big think for you: blanket tariffs, apply to fucking everything. We don't need EVERYTHING to be made here. The problem, EVERYTHING will be more expensive. We made the system less efficent at zero added benefit. It's a net less. Bad. Not good. Fucking stupid.

This will be remembered as the week that China emerged as the preeminent economic and geopolitical power of the 21st Century.
China has pursued a neo-mercantilist strategy of securing access to critical minerals and supplies. As part of their retaliation to Trump's tariffs, they restricted access to several rare earth minerals that are in short supply and critical for many high-tech devices. And as Trump aims to sever our links to the global economy, China will expand into the void.

I can picture JPOW sitting on his porch drinking his coffee, looking forward to a soon to be retirement, knowing he's been working as hard as he can to stabilize the American economy.
Then comes along Trump, placing tariffs on the whole world, and now JPOW knows he can not retire until he helps clean up this new mess, which will take another ten years.
JPOW quietly thinks to himself..."God Damnit."

How does option IV work over the weekend? Does it decrease because there is no effective movement in the underlying stock?
Eg. I may have bought some SPY 500P that expire Monday. Premiums were crap at close on Friday because of IV - $7 for an option $5 OTM.
When market opens on Monday, will the options open at a drastically lower price?
I get that theta will eat a bit over the weekend, that's the trade you make for holding. I'm more wondering about the IV effect.

"Trump trained his anger on China during his first term, leading many manufacturers like Nike, Gap, Levi’s, and Dell to begin shifting operations to Vietnam, in order to save costs and set up shop in friendlier territories. But now Trump is hitting Vietnam with a 46% tariff, leaving many executives exasperated – and planning to raise prices rather than relocate yet again."
"In the words of another executive: “We’re just going to have to make fewer shirts and sell them for more money.”
The whole "factories will relocate to America and hire workers to make shoes and shirts" thing is going swell.

If Trump really wants clothes and shoes be made in Amercia he would need 1000% tariff.

u/Hairy_Yam5354 12m ago
Here's the thing Trump doesn't seem to realize. 1) We couldn't really turn a profit on shirts when we could pay Americans $8/hour to make them; now that we have to pay them $22/hour, you're gonna be looking at an expensive shirt; 2) and more importantly, no one, absolutely no one in America really wants to work making shirts or any other fucking manufacturing jobs. We sent those jobs to China in the first place because Americans don't want them. When's the last time you heard an American say, "you know, I wanna work in a fucking sweat shop when I grow up"?

You can't just put it in a box i don't think. At least the tag reading "made in the USA" needs to be machine stitched on here. Which will help create a single part time job for a vietnamese guy we import who's already familiar with the operation and can do "tag machine repair."
