Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I deleted my Fidelity app when Trump took office. I wasn’t doing anything with my blue chip stock and I’d rather not see what I’m losing in real time.
The nice thing is over time historically the stock market or at least index funds always have gain. So either you will recover or... We all have bigger problems.

The analysis that was based on excluded the effect of markets going out of existence. If those events are taken into account, there's little to no long-term gain at all.
Hence the we have bigger problems. At least for the next ten years the stock markets won't say, hey its time to try helping out the poor. If the stockmarkets completely implodes, yeah we got some other problems goingonn.
Cool. But adding 5, 10, 20 extra years to get to the same valuation in your retirement plan isn’t “nice”.
Groovy. You are right, I was just using it as a transition to my comment. Who doesn't love waiting an extra 15 years for retirement?
Hahaha oh shits gonna go from really bad to worse
My 401k is factored into the divorce and that's a lot of money I'm about to not have to negotiate with
Trump targeted Hoover instead of FDR
The market has factored in these tariffs. They haven't factored in the retaliation tariffs, since they haven't been announced yet.
I feel like there should be a name for a tariff terrorist. A tarrifist? A terofist?
no the market was betting it was mostly a bluff. look at the futures market to see what tomorrow looks like. (dow jones down 1000 points, etc.)
Man that absolutely does not flow off the tounge.
Tarriforist?
Ugh that's worse
Tariffnator
I like how you removed your own upvote lol
It rubs me the wrong way, like laughing at my own jokes.
I’ve never invested or traded stocks and I probably never will…or be able to at this point. Happy recession day!
