Actually, the last time America was imposing tariffs...LIKE THE WORLD IS IMPOSING UPON US STILL....they were ended around 1920...7 years AFTER the Gov't decided to impose income taxes on Americans...Prior to that, TARIFFS COVERED THE GOV'TS BILLS...But I suspect you are too retarded to understand this...You're scared right to death that your welfare benefits are going away...I'm hoping & praying your welfare benefits are going away...why do you hate America so much yet, refuse to LEAVE?????????????????

I'll take it with a grain of salt, but somebody on the radio just pointed out that even with the past two days hits, the stock market is still higher than during Biden's term.

Overall, over the past 5 years, yes. More recently, like since Trump took office, not so much. Up and down like a yoyo.

I've read and heard some that feel the market has been too hot. Any chance that Trump is forcing a needed stock market correction?

I've no doubt - no expert, but this is the market reacting and not a systemic problem.


The market over reacts. Unemployment numbers come out, what does the market do . Economic number come out, what does the market do. Its people speculating with money right or wrong. Then once they realize nothings changed it calms down.

I've been analyzing my portfolio this afternoon and this is what I've found:

COVID - Jan 1st 2020 to Mar 23rd 2020, the low point of the Covid market -
DOW -35%, S&P -31%, NASDAQ -24%, my portfolio -32%
TARIFFS - Jan 1st 2025 to Apr 4th 2025, lowest point so far -
DOW -10%, S&P -14%, NASDAQ -19%, my portfolio -12%

We still have a ways to go to match the COVID numbers - another 20-25% drop.

Trump Years - Jan 20th 2017 thru Jan 20th 2021 -
DOW +57%, S&P +70%, NASDAQ +142%, my portfolio +69%
Biden Years - Jan20th 2021 thru Jan 20th 2025 -
DOW +39%, S&P +56%, NASDAQ +46%, my portfolio +32%

As you can see, even with a 32% drop during COVID, the Trump years were better overall than the Biden years - more the double for my portfolio. My god - look at the NASDAQ 142% vs 46%! So yeah, I will risk another 25% drop in the market to take advantage of the end goal Trump has in mind.

Just thought I would put the current market in perspective. Your mileage and stocks/mutual funds may vary.

Stock is going down like a Led Zepplin but I have faith it will come back strong!
You probably know this, but that’s partly how they got their name. Supposedly when Keith Moon and John Entwhistle - from The Who - heard about the new band forming, Moon said it would go over “like a lead balloon “. Entwhistle laughed and said “like a lead ZEPPELIN!”. So Page went with that.
