1/31/2025 Tariffs announced Market Tanks

Fawk. I definitely didn't believe this threat. Even after Oni guaranteed it. I'm not sure what I would have done differently , I'm not going to stop investing no matter what.

Don't look at your 401k today, it's a crime scene. Blood everywhere.

Maybe a good time to short american auto makers with plants in Mexico and or Canada.? Or let's see if its transitory like the Colombia tariffs.

This is going to be fascinating to watch if they stay in place. Let's see the Canada and Mexico response.

I'm gonna take a bath on some manufacturing equipment coming in a few months, but still beats the 4 year domestic lead time for comparable. When it all adds up it was still way cheaper, in 4 years who the hell knows if I'll even need it. Would have loved to stay domestic but was forced to with this one.. But I voted for it and so be it, will make it work.

If the market took a dive I didn’t even feel it. Nasdaq barely a ripple.

Need Tesla to get hammered like it deserves. A 38% earnings miss is not supposed to produce an 8% bump. Elon should be arrested for stock market pumping

Lol, I have all the "wrong" stocks today. Something is up with Tesla. You are right, it SHOULD be getting hammered. I still say there is something we don't know that the institutional investor do know.

79% of Mexico’s exports come to the US

77% of Canada’s

This is not a war they can win, we will bankrupt them.

Wow, I guess I shouldn't be surprised, drug and people smugglers focus 24/7 on finding vulnerabilities and always seem a step ahead. I remember when Colombia to Florida was the route. Then that got shut down and it became Colombia to Mexico to the US. Mexico is harder to shut down because of the endemic corruption. It's essentially a narco state.

The cartels operate with protection from the government, the military and the police. tough nut to crack.

Most people don’t realize, most of that northerner border is uninhabitable. No fencing.

In areas of low population, like Minot, ND into Manitoba, border stations are no bigger than the vegetable stops going into Arizona.

Neil Peart mused about his on his ghost rider tour where he rode his bike from

Montreal to Alaska or so. Crossed the border many times and was amused how sometimes he got the 3rd degree and others he drove across without anyone there inspecting or caring
