Well, our Poor

So far the 3 people who have responded haven't lost anything.

How much have you lost?

Girlfriend - Where were these tears during the Summer of 2022?....When the markets took a far bigger hit before Biden was forced to turn on the magical printer and spray inflation for years to come on those who don't have the financial means to participate in the market?

You do understand you didn't "lose" anything. You're an affluent white female who chose to participate in the regulated casino that is the US Stock Market. You never realize your gains or losses until you sell.

Tomorrow is Liberation Day. You know what you should do? You get yourself back in that beautiful "Tax The Rich" white dress and you show them what you're made of....You got this!

None. I'm up almost 2% for the year.

Your tutoring lessons better be free when you got this first lesson wrong.

Tariffs are paid by the importer. The importer is the one who buys the product from another country and brings it into the United States.

Sometimes the producers in other countries have to eat it. BMW already said it was going to cover them for a while at least. We heard the same argument last time and prices didn't increase.

And can we get an update on the price of eggs? All you heard from the liberal media for several weeks is how they suddenly discovered eggs were expensive now that Trump is in office. How's that looking now?

Haha. Of course you are.

 

[cocks rule]

Haha. Of course you are.

Liberals will definitely lose money under the Trump administration since 99% of their profits come from money laundering and fraud. They create NOTHING and steal everything.

Defund the left. It’s not hard.

 

[GoCocksFight2021]

Haha. Of course you are.

Well, +1.57%. I round up. That's YTD

 

[uscwatson21]

Sometimes the producers in other countries have to eat it. BMW already said it was going to cover them for a while at least. We heard the same argument last time and prices didn't increase.

"However, if the tariff situation remains as it currently is, we may need to reassess after that time," a spokesperson told the Wall Street Journal. A BMW spokesperson has since confirmed the report to Car and Driver.

So these Trump tariffs are going to be temporary?

And can we get an update on the price of eggs? All you heard from the liberal media for several weeks is how they suddenly discovered eggs were expensive now that Trump is in office. How's that looking now?

You keep posting this, intentionally ignoring that Demand is almost down by a third, and ignoring that the prices were always going to eventually drop. You guys were the ones parroting the price of eggs in the election, the Democrats were just mocking you because it was the obvious one that Trump couldn't lower the prices on day one like he claimed.

Doesn't seem like any of your pro-Trump arguments these days are in good faith.

It would be better off to admit some loss than to claim you're beating everyone in the market.

Yeah, amazing that it is somehow unbelievable that someone eke out a small gain in this market but it's completely believable that their Queen Pelosi and ALWAYS beat the market and just about every hedge fund out there. Consistently.

You love calling people liars. You called me a liar about having a degree from USC. You called me a liar about owning a Tesla. Now you are calling me a liar when I say I am up 1.62% in the 401k YTD.

When you are ready to put something (legally, of course) behind that big f'ing mouth of yours, let me know.

 

[uscwatson21]

Wanna find a legal way to put your 401k against mine that I'm not lying? Just checked it a few minutes ago. My 401k is up 1.62% YTD as of April 1st.

If there is a legal way to do this, I'm game. Are you?

Who is your 401k done through?

Betting probably wouldn't be legal and not hold up in court. But if there is a way to legally put some money behind your mouth, I'll gladly put some behind mine. Has to be legal and enforcable.

As of 4/1/25, my 401k provider states that I am up approximately 1.62% in my 401k YTD. Not sure how they round, up or down, when you get out to that my decimals.

As of 4/1/25, I am a Tesla owner.

As of 4/1/25, I have a degree from the University of South Carolina

Let me know. Under the right circumstances, I can and will prove any of the 3 things stated above. Must be legal and enforcable.

It's a shame you really don't grasp the big picture here.

If your 401k is up 1.62% that means you're heavily invested in bonds. That means you missed out on the gains the market made over the years.

If you own a Tesla, that means you were just parroting republican anti-EV talking points and you didn't really believe what you were posting.

If you're being honest about the above, that's not a good thing. You're better off if you're just lying.

Tariffs don’t work instantly. Give it time. If a country’s tariffs on our goods are 20% and in turn, our tariffs are 4% on their goods, you know they ain’t right. Reaction to the immediate market needs patience.

There is no real evidence they work long-term either- and Trump and Biden have used them.

The problem with this analysis as it's too simplified. I certainly don't understand all the details either.

But I've heard people who do understand them and they talk about all the subsidies the US government uses to prop up those industries which is really never mentioned by politiicans talking about "unfair" tariffs.

For example, the US government is well known to subsidize many of the industries producing these products that allow those industries to export their product to countries like Canada at a greatly reduced cost compared to what Canadian companies can make the same product. So Canada reciprocates by tacking on tariffs to other products coming to the United States.

and back and forth they go.

So it's not as simple as saying "well, they have a 15% tariff on us so we are going to tack on a 15% tariff on them"

But I understand that SOUNDS right to a group fo Americans who aren't going to dive deep into the details.

It's why even people like Rand Paul hate the tariffs and has said so- as well as people like Trump 1st term economic advisor Stephen Moore.

I'm down 4.58% since January 1st as of yesterday 4/1. I'm only speaking about retirement funds, not my non-retirement portfolio.

I do have 2 funds that are up since then. One is an age based fund and it's up 1.15%. I have an international fund and it's up 8.35%. But I have less than $200k in those accounts so it doesn't have much impact on my overall retirement funds.

You aren't a Tesla owner any more so than anyone on here owns the Dallas Cowboys. LOL

If your 401k is up 1.62% that means you're heavily invested in bonds. That means you missed out on the gains the market made over the years.

It could be due to an age based retirement fund. I just looked. A lot of those are up in the 1.00% to 1.85% range right now. (Which sucks by the way). The other option would be some international funds.

Of course, most funds are underwater. But it someone has a heavy portfolio in an international fund (would be very unlikely), they could be up a bit too.

But the other funds that someone is invested in will drag the international return downward.

If you own a Tesla, that means you were just parroting republican anti-EV talking points and you didn't really believe what you were posting.

If you're being honest about the above, that's not a good thing. You're better off if you're just lying.

He doesn't have a Tesla.

No one brags to another EV owner about how they only have to fill up their tank if they own an EV.

Charge em all with treason. We’ll Use a real judge of course. We have to start meeting them head to head using the judiciary. The thing is we could legitimately arrest most officials in the government who have broken real laws, let’s fire it up and get it done. We can’t just sit around while they abuse the judicial system let’s start locking them up with real crimes and real time.

So the goal of these tariffs was more free trade?
