Tariff pause
Relaxing on the fire Powell rhetoric
Q1 earnings (especially in tech)

All have helped tremendously. If the pause had not happened, I think we'd be in a different situation. And as some have said, still down 8% from highs.

You are correct. Looking back it seems the pause was a result of ongoing negotiations.

I seem to think the point of the original imposition of tariffs was to ignite negotiations. Was and still is a gamble, however, the U.S. seems to be holding better cards than most other nations.

The announcement of $2 trillion are committed to bringing back manufacturing and another $6 trillion is under negotiations that should indicate we're heading in the right direction.

Still a gamble, but odds are turning in the favor of a more equitable international market.

The pause happened because bond yields rose precipitously. Trump even said so.

The market looks great since Trump shut up paused his idiotic ideas. The football spiking before the impacts of the tarrifs actually manifest is bizarre to me. Here's hoping the 90-day pause is permanent.

---

Yep. We will see how Q2 looks and especially later in the year. "Liberation Day" was after Q1 ended. We have not seen any results good or bad linked to tariffs.

Will the pause continue?
Will the rhetoric change again?
Did the initial tariff threats last long enough to hurt Q2 earnings?

Spiking the football now is silly. We are basically back where we were a month ago. Tariffs threatened but paused, Powell still in charge, still waiting on a tax bill. And still 8% off Jan highs.

Most posters had an issue with the actual implementation of 145% tariffs and threatening publicly to fire the Fed chair. Caused unnecessary angst in the market. And Trump saw that and reversed course. Kudos to him on that.

Hold your horses, ma man.

The indexes are still down YTD and down from Jan 20. You can gloat after they cross that and make some us some money. The above lines in bold mean nothing.

I am expecting Trump's economy to beat Biden's and it is still a work in progress.

Watching the VIX, almost back down to 4/1 levels. Not nearly as much fear in the market.

But spiking beforehand by libs is perfectly fine. Actually it's on brand.

This is truly strange, the S&P is still down year to date but people are cheering…because they gained some of their losses back?

Crap. Sell everything!

S&P 500 P/E ratio is back up to almost 28.

If your strategy is just to layer in the same amount, don't stop, but equities are relatively expensive right now based on the amount of uncertainty we have, I think.

So you had libs pissing down their legs all over this thread early on that Trump caused "the worst economic collapse in history" and now that it's almost fully recovered you're puzzled why some posters are excited? Dude, you're strange.

You do realize we haven't even seen the effects of any tariffs yet, don't you? What we saw was based on uncertainty and Trumps inability to communicate a coherent plan on what he is actually trying to do. When we start seeing companies financial reports a couple of quarters from now I am sure there will be much less cheering but even more goal tending.

A solid number of people think you should put $100 investment somewhere and it should be $1MM in 60 days. Then blame others when it's not.

The same ones who think they should step into a company as a new hire fresh out of school and start at $500,000/year.

Even a dumb east Texas redneck like me can and is making money in this market. Some people just dont get it or listen to the right advice.

You do realize we've seen at least EIGHT TRILLION in investments back into this country mainly BECAUSE of the tariffs. Actually, I'm done with you, to the ignore pile.

My portfolio is currently up 2% since I posted a thread on this board asking if we should buy the dip. Tomorrow it might be -2 because Trump might say something that makes people panic, but I definitely feel like in the long run I will see that money grow if I leave it alone.
