Well, at least you've got reasoning for your outlook or strategy, which many won't. I rate equities as broad wealth protection, only based on long-term projections that can muster real-term gains, rather than vital shorter-term wealth creation and ...
Trump: This is Biden’s Stock Market, not Trump’s
- DaJoWaBa commented Apr 30, 2025
Alot of the MAGA-suckers, the Rednecks, Coonasses, Hillbillies, Bikers probably aren't interested in Equities if they don't own any directly and don't read up about it. They probably don't realise that tariffs are a form of Consumer Tax they will ...

Bessent is trying his best to sanewash. "Uncertainty"? Definitely, and it's not good for business. "Strategic?" He's having a laugh.Trump: We're going to make fair deal with China on trade
- DaJoWaBa commented Apr 30, 2025
, great comment. I'd add that "fair" can only be judged after the event by both negotiating teams or a 3rd party looking on, not by one party. The first problem is that the chaos monkey, and his sycophantic pack, ...Trump: We're going to make fair deal with China on trade

Treasury Secretary Bessent says it’s up to China to de-escalate trade tensions
- DaJoWaBa commented Apr 28, 2025
Bessent must be wondering what he was thinking when he agreed to take on the role. Whilst he ought to be a point of reference in the cabinet, he is really only second-guessing, apologising and making a narrative fit the flip-flop decisions and ...
Bessent defends ‘strategic uncertainty’ of Trump tariffs
- DaJoWaBa commented Apr 24, 2025
Quite. However, it's difficult for a wannabe political leader in a short-cyle democracy to present a manifesto of bitter-tasting medicine if the electorate doesn't agree that the s**t has truly already hit the fan.
Trump goes after Federal Reserve’s Powell again

As already stated, beware looking for small, narrow and specific datapoints in short-time frames. Classic Scientific Methodology would ignore any data at this point as being insignificant and in need of replication and sufficient ...

- DaJoWaBa commented Apr 24, 2025
I don't doubt that figure but beware taking a one-day data point as a correlation or trend before things are 'set'. A tariff is a tax and like all taxes, it changes people's behaviour, both inside the USA and globally. A tariff applied, or ...

Probably. It'd have made sense for consumers to have brought forward any planned big-ticket items. Wait for at least the next month's data before one we can review this with any reliability.

Indeed, maybe some people are talking about recession but neither you or they can be certain of whether it is, or not, so long as the debate is about data from 3-4 months ago. As stated previously, a new economic and political regime will inevitably ...

Umm, I think "was" rather than "still" might be more appropriate wording for this final adjusted figure for the back end of 2024. What we really want to know is what is happening now, 3-4 months down the road and with a different political and ...
