is that it now game over no chance of POTUS

Another bonkers, incoherent, hungover diatribe about EU Whisky (sic) import tariffs at 50%, so as a punishment he's going to hit the EU with a 200% increase on wine, alcohol and champagne. 

 

"The USA Champagne industry" will be greatly boosted he says..... Maybe he needs a map, as well as a nap

Oh no. Don't increase the cost of my Budweiser! 😂

God I'd love all this to backfire and leave the US isolated and fucked.

He'll probably shit his pants and reverse everything next week.

Of course he will. It's what he does. Evidence suggests he will not follow through with anything, other than in his y-fronts

He's currently on live.

A meeting with Mark Rutter, but questions about his policies.

Banging on about Canada, and the saying the USA doesn't need them for anything, but they need the USA. 

In an absolute extreme sense, no one country "needs" another one country, but by the fuck he's skating on thin ice.

One thing I've never understood is the markets. But this can't be good surely? 

I know it's only a one month average and it's going to take some time for his policies to come to fruition. But that looks pretty stark. 

Is it normal to lose that amount of value in 4 weeks? It's still slightly higher than the end of Biden's Presidency but I imagine that's largely down to uncertainty about who the next president was going to be. 

Can anyone explain who gets these things? 

One year average added for a bit of Boby balance 😉😁

It’s simple. Just buy in the dips and everything will be fine.

I like the Boby Balance name. I might change it to Boby Bondi though due to a change in circumstances.😉

Always a chance to make a lot of money as well losing a lot of money on the stock markets. Spread your risks and all that.

I really don’t think that Trump expected the fall though. He’ll spin it his way I guess. Just watching Robert Di Nero on The One Show. Will he?

If memory serves me right that was from before Trump was first elected. He’s a very bitter man

You probably wouldn't say the same if it was a celebrity saying fuck Biden.

Yep. Celebrities should stay out of politics. They have an unfair advantage without any more knowledge than the rest of us.

They’ve probably got a bit more class about them.

The US has 2 main indices there is also NASDAQ which is more tech heavy. The impact of this for the day to day is minimal but everyone’s Pension will be based on invested money. Mine has dropped in value by 6-7% in last 3 weeks. If people have already bought an annuity they will be ok. 
 

No way Trump anticipated this. The bizarre thing is markets went up when he was elected s the thinking is that with control of both houses it means things can get done. Last tie he had a go as President he made a lot about the strength of the stock markets. 
 

TBF to Trump the markets initial reaction to his victory was positive, he is now doing what he said he would and markets are tanking. The biggest issue is that he is just as likely to double down on the policies because backing off would be weak.

As I said above, I don’t think Trump expected that, or maybe he did.🤷‍♂️ Money to be made and lost on the markets. Here is a longer time scale of NASDAQ.

Just for balance and all that and I’m not a Trump supporter but here is the Dow Jones for the last 2 years.

Yes it really shows how Trump has reversed the market growth.

As I said, I’m not a Trump supporter but I’m not concerned about a dip. It could be reversed very quickly. Hopefully your pension fund manager is not as pessimistic as you.👍

You mean

things can change?

S&P 500 is more representative than the Dow and is usually in the middle of the Dow & the Nasdaq. 

S&P looks like a shit show on the month but it's only back where it was in July. 

Apparently some speech on Monday has markets thinking he's not for flinching this time. 

I'll keep my regular purchases the same but hold off on the (small) lump sum I'm putting in when the tax year ticks over.
