People fixate on the Hilux...it feels like this is one of those things going around. There are ~10 types of cars they just don't sell in the US for various reasons. Emission standards or whichever was the big SUV, the Sequoia but nicer that was meant to compete with the Escalade. I think they may have brought that back, but in the first year they offered that, they sold less than 2,000 of them...which means they lost their ass. It's not quite the same as not being able to buy any of the Toyota vehicles. The Toyota Vehicles always have an equal...or similar version in 3 different brands. The Chinese EVs are like 15K striped down EVs with good enough batteries, but there's a big difference in the quality between them and Tesla.

No, cheaper...not nearly as nice. I would think we'd want them in the US...that was why Musk was going to bring the Model Y to market so cheap(whichever one is cheap).

Ok...so Trump's on DOJ lied, the cases against Dominion...everything that came out there. J6 is propaganda. Yeah, you can't look at the left and say, "are they really this bad," with that type of nonsense. We SAW them storm the capital and that was bad, but what was worse was the ENTIRE plan behind it. The plan to have an unconstitutional slate of electors who had no authority in the attempt to stop the peaceful transfer of power. Someone's not thinking critically when they're still spouting the big lie talking points and downplaying Jan6.

Dead Cat bounce is basically just a couple days after a huge loss a stock will have a false rebound and then continue on it's way. NVDA...for example. It was at 153 recently, it's...going to have more net revenue than anyone else this year. It's price target was 220-225 in a bull case, 160 in a bear case(this is a BIG bear though). So it hits 87 and they have 50B approved for stock buybacks. It's why AAPL has remained the most valuable company despite some shaky earnings. They don't dillute their shares. Now...when earnings come out, they've eliminated...10M shares, so your EPS is that much higher due to that many fewer shares outstanding. But if it's a short lived rally. I don't see tax cuts having any appreciable difference. This is too big. You start with Japan(I believe we own the most of their debt). Then South Korea...Vietnam, Cambodia have already made concessions. But you HAVE to isolate China. You...cannot create allies for them. If one of those is announced OR...better yet, he announced a delay to the tariffs, that'd give the market some room to breath. It'd also give companies some time going into earnings season to be able to guide for Q2....

Yeah...I said that on Friday. The worst case MAY be the markets Green on Monday and Tuesday...but....I hope I'm wrong. I have to sell NVDA(and AVGO) though. I bought 5000 at 87 and it's at 105 and I don't...see anything that's changed and I was already long in it.

Oh...I know. I've...seen the Japanese, Chinese and South Korean alliance. I don't think people realize how catastrophic that could be. Just remove our influence in that entire region. We need to be working with Japan and South Korea as top priorities. I know people think it should be Canada, but...you're giving China the game otherwise. And this could play directly into the plans to the dollar being replaced. It's a bit of a mixed feeling though. Green Markets give Trump more resolve...and will lead to more severe consequences. But more Red...and more instability.

Yeah...I'm more concerned with the Nasdaq and the Semi stocks at that and...I don't know what the hell is going on. I thought I picked up more NVDA, AVGO and TSM at good long term prices yesterday, but they're turning around and...really regaining a lot of the value they lost quickly. I hope it stays green. The Russell was up 2% last I checked...I hope everyone has a good day....except options traders. I hope this is a nice short squeeze.

Yes...as in I don't care that he does it so often...but it does show his hypocrisy. There's really a theme with you and Jimmy. You really need every bit of context spoon fed to you.

That's...about what I thought Jimmy. It just gives me the option and I don't get the alerts when you...reply twice in a row and say...nothing. You wanted evidence of polling I thought(or at least wished) to be dubious)...and you're back to whining about how I put you on ignore so I determine when I have to deal with you(again).

He's not getting into the Chinese Market now...(at least as of now, he was). And the EU wants to find him...a lot and they're not banning lawsuits against FSD malfunctioning. I don't see China or the US giving in here...which...again, is why it was just SO STUPID to go after Japan, South Korea and other powers in the region(who hated each other). This should have been the US going after China with the BACKING of the EU, Mexico, Canada and our Asian Partners. Now China is just digging in.

When the Republican State Senator introducing Vance and Trump said it. https://truthout.org/articles/republican-at-vance-rally-says-civil-war-may-be-needed-if-trump-loses-election/ Maybe this will jog your memory.

I'm not following?

Also...explain why you would think they WOULDN'T care in 2020? Whoever the "they" is, you're clearly making the...moronic argument that people ONLY care that their we saw record drops under Trump. You DO realize Trump was in office in 2020, right? So...yeah, explain this..."point" you're making?

I really just don't understand what the point of these comments are. Elections were rigged in 2020(and 2016 in the primaries Trump didn't win and in the general where he didn't win the popular vote) and then they were also going to be rigged in 2024, but he didn't. WTF am I supposed to answer for a directionless movement from 2011? How does THAT mean that tanking the Global Economy is a good thing? And to be clear, it wasn't just Democrats pissed about golden parachutes for Bankers, but is this Jimmy's burner? Should I KEEP posting about how Trump said anytime there's a 1000 point drop in the DOW over 2 days the President should be impeached when the DOW dropped ~5000 points in a little over 2 days? Your point makes no sense. Did "they" care. WTF is "they" do you?

Yeah...I guess. I liked NVDA at 155, but I thought I was done buying(I don't think it got quite that high, probably ~153) but picked up 5000 shares at 87). Then some AVGO, TSM and BRK.B because again, that's effectively a safe growth fund at this point. I'm a little nervous though...since I said this past weekend, a bounce on Monday and Tuesday could actually be bearish for them. I don't think Trump has the timeline you do though. -He's facing an inherently difficult battle to keep either house being the incumbent -The longer the market is in turmoil, the worse the hard numbers will get...and it's going to take a while to get those back up. So I'd say he has...maybe 90 days to reach deals(he's said he's not willing and willing in the same interview). And with the EU tariffs starting May1 and the Russian Tariffs starting and Trump threatening to double ours, it's going to be down to pull up if the economy/market is weaker early 2026 than it was when Biden left.

Cheaper than California...but it's 10% tariff. Business shouldn't cost as much as it does in California or as little as it does in Texas. 50 layers of regulation or "screw it, do what feels right," and the grid goes out if it goes under 40...it's a good reason why neither side you'll usually see on Twitter is...well, right. Automobiles make up a big chunk of the effective tariff rates I've shared. Mexico is 20%, but that's because our Corn industry decimated theirs and....well, that's what Trump negotiated with the USMCA. The MAIN reason though...after the Chicken Wars of the 1960s, Biden made it clear for...a long time that they'd be putting a 100% tariff on Chinese EVs. Again, why I like TARGETED so much. It made sense for both sides, but Musk had worked out deals with China to license their FSD and he was hoping to beat BYD, NIO or...LI Auto. It was...ironically protection for primarily TSLA(but other American EVs as well).

Now...to clarify, those are...events that happened or polls that were taken that would paint Republicans in an ...absolutely horrific light, right? So Jimmy didn't like when I said I had more confidence in Republicans, I believe these are extremists and they don't actually represent those who I know or see(for the most part). That I didn't actually believe those polls that Trump does, 82% of people who said or that % of people who believe a Civil War would happen if Harris had won... So...some of those are just things that happened. The polling though...I don't answer polls and I don't believe most people do. I think people like Jimmy are the ones who do those polls and will probably dismiss those polls(despite...again, me expressing disbelief). I actually think I have the perfect encapsulation of Jimmy. That tongue hanging out, Head is a little too big...but he's just a little guy and...ineffectual. He's the guy who has no bite. If he's on your leg, you give him a little kick, he runs away yapping and that's it. He thinks he's a big dog...but, LOL...he's a harmless "special" little dog!

Two? ONE Registered Republican took a shot at him. The 2nd "attempt was a guy with a gun who never shot a gun and was caught running. So...that's two people. -You want to talk about Obama?

I actually feel...a little bad for you. I do think you lack the mental capacity to even argue your side, I don't think you understand Nuance. You're just the guy on Twitter posting memes and blindly repeating what Trump says...when even the conservatives on here know it's absolutely ridiculous. "Record inflation" under Biden?

Another Clever one Jimmy. "Anyone who knows History." (Yeah, I know, you won't watch, but aside from mocking something I put on here that I shouldn't about my Mom going into Hospice, do you have an original thought? Anyway?).

Jimmy, the Grown ups are talking here. It's cute that you're putting your money from the tooth fairy into "stocks," which I'm sure is what your parents are telling you. That said...no, I wouldn't BEGIN to tell someone when to buy. First of all, buy what? TSMC, INTC, TM, BRK.B, NVDA, or are we talking NIKE, AAPL, BABA? Only a fool would pretend to try and time the market...Jimmy. I have no doubt that you are that person who would try to however.

To be fair...he said it didn't seem legit. C'mon. 1-We know what old people's skin is like. It simply tears easier. 2-Anyone who Wrestled...I'd hope they wouldn't dispute this. I had my ear ripped about a quarter inch(doesn't sound like much, but when the top half is folded over and I need to stich it back to my head, it feels like it. You can't tell. Also, we know how little knicks like this bleed. The man dead behind him didn't fake it.

Oh, also, Musk broke with Trump and said he'd like to see no tariffs...(at least in the EU). Probably going to REALLY hurt "our" attempt to beat BYD to the autonomous market or in EV sales.

No. It makes no sense. This is the other half of the equation that people don't realize(though...I suspect you do). When you have reciprocal tariffs that are SO out of whack like that, you NEED to export from other Countries or you're being punished for being an American both when buying the materials to buy the car, then when you sell the car. And how can they compete with BYD when it has ALL those markets with low tariffs(just as we DID prior to Trump's latest nonsense). So I'd imagine you're going to have some factories shut down and leave the US and some open back up. Right now, there are Ford and GM plants that are just empty, their workers told to go home last week as they have no idea what the future looks like. THAT is a LOT less money coming back into America. Taht is a LOWER tax base, that is less money, THAT is an increasing debt...

Well, it was @Bigbrogwho made a comment about talking disrespectfully to people saying something about not being able to make their point without name calling...and you give that the big brain like, remember? That seems like that's you agreeing with him and that perspective? In any event, I don't actually care much. My feelings certainly weren't hurt. It's pretty normal banter...not quite the same as after saying my Mother was going into Hospice, Jimmy mocking that....which also didn't "hurt" my feelings so much as help inform me of who I was dealing with. Libtard in a stupid debate...it's stupid, but ultimately meaningless. The other? That's...pretty tacky. Still...thought I'd make the point as it seems like many of us Non-Trump supporters are the ones who are thought of as the emotional and insulting and I find the truth to be...at the very least...closer to the middle(I'd say it swings father further the other way, but lets jut say the middle).

I seem to remember you clutching your pearls and feigning outrage when I called Jimmy and idiot or a moron...but "libtard," liberal-***I am an idiot and can't use a better adjective***...? It's always been so lazy to me. It's like MAGATS or calling the Vikings the Viqueens. Just the lowest common denominator. That said... even for you, it has to feel hard calling "Libtards" stupid at a point when our President decided self immolation was a GREAT idea for the United States Economy... Republicans LOVE this guy though. Why don't we listen to him? (You can also skip to 3 minutes in if you don't want to hear how stupid he thinks Trump's plan is, how it's merely bad if he has a plan to get out of this and JUST talk about trade deficits).
