    “Living in the Midwest, I might feel the trade war soonest and most,” said Brian Jacobsen, chief economist at Annex Wealth Management, because of how much crude oil flows over the northern U.S. border to make gasoline. “Our refiners can’t easily switch away from Canadian crude.”

    I really want to buy some Trump “I did this!”.

      Make sure to NOT use Sticker Mule when purchasing these. They explicitly support Trump and are on Truth Social. Sticker Giant and Sticker Ninja seem to be two alternatives. There are many more though.

      I made this comment on another thread. These stickers should say “you did this” to maybe give the trump/non voters a moment of self reflection.

        I mean American voters, especially Republicans, aren’t exactly great on self reflection and root cause analysis. They would probably just think it’s all about blaming Obama and agree with the sticker.

    It’s been higher than Friday most of the day. Some swerve.

      NASDAQ at Friday’s closing was at 19628.782, dropped to 19,141.146 this morning, and at this moment it’s at 19,487.327.

      Dow at Friday’s closing was at 44544.66 dropped to 43,920.99 this morning, and at this moment it’s at 44509.33

      Pray tell how in the hell did you to a conclusion that it’s been mostly higher than Friday because it sure sends like your taking right out of your ass.

          You do have a point. Requirements and wording matters.

          I admit, checkmate.

        You got me. I just glanced at the graph and didn’t look close enough to see it was clearly tens of points lower. Head for the hills.

          Yeah, facts matter, if you assert that it’s been mostly higher most of the day you better back that crap up with facts. Don’t need your alternative facts here.

            Alternative facts try to spin the truth. I made an error. The intent of the original post still stands, the title is both old and the usual exaggerated, as most stock news is. The current headlines are using the word “recover”, as if to highlight that things went terribly south. It’s all a damn game.

              Can’t disagree with your last point at all. It certainly seems like a bullshit game rigged to fleece the regular people. Anyone who tried to follow what these "experts"were doing in reacting to President dementia, would be losing their money thinking they were doing the right things. Meanwhile I’m sure the market “recovered” for the rich folk who sold after hours and then bought when things crashed this morning.
