If you guys are going to have heated car audio debates, can you please do it in the actual car audio forums?

No, being liberal makes you do that.

Being liberal makes me make manufacturers make false and inaccurate claims about their product, or provide false or inaccurate data on their product?
Who knew I had so much power?!

Wow.... What actually happened was a weak 20Y bond auction that sent US treasury yields soaring. Where do you get that stuff from????

Get WHAT stuff? Stock market news and activity analysis?

Have you ever traded a single share or bought/sold a single commodity or commodity option?
Serious question.

NO! Inappropriate place for this nonsense!

No it wasn't. You took what he said and twisted into your comment. The fact that you can't either see or acknowledge it says a lot.

STILL waiting for either of you to tell me what he "really" meant with that sentence, and the two subjects therein.

Since you both want to shout I read it wrong, please give me the "right" explanation of what it means.
Remember, the two subjects in the sentence are money lost in the market drop, and stupidly-high import tariffs announced by Trump on the day the markets tanked.

"Do you know how fast that can be made back if everyone we are dealing with regarding tariffs plays FAIR?" - Thxone.

"that" refers to the point of discussion, which was money lost when the market tanked after Trump announced his stupid tariff idea.
"can be made back" refers to recouping the losses from the market tanking after Trump announced his stupid plan.
"tariffs" refers to the import tariffs us Americans will have to pay on the imported goods we buy.

So, how do we make "that" back by paying more for goods because of "tariffs"?

So close, so close.... Maybe try quoting Thx verbatim rather than adding your bias into his statement.

That's not what caused the dip but somehow you got information claiming Trump is attached to it.

Have you ever traded a single share or bought/sold a single commodity or commodity option?
Serious question.

None of your business. You go on thinking you know better than everyone else.

"So the global market is worth $109T, the United States Market is worth $46.2T of that. I keep reading a loss of between $4T and $6.6T. Seriously... people are freaking out?? Do you know how fast that can be made back if everyone we are dealing with regarding tariffs plays FAIR?" - ThxOne

This is the post. what is "that"? That is in the sentence directly before. "That" is a loss of between $4T and $6.6T. Have we cleared up what "that" is Rob?

If all the countries we do business with all have fair tariffs on the US and we have similarly fair tariffs on them, we can do some serious trading and making profits... quickly recovering the previous losses and then some.

Does that clear it up at all Rob?

Hang on a second here. So you've traded commodities and/or done option trading, yet you refuse to acknowledge the excessive PE ratio of stocks prior to the April crash? WTF????

Makes you wonder if he pays attention to the VIX either.

Ironically, all we had to do was wait a month and the money was back in our accounts - of course Team Blue gave Trump full credit for the quick recovery. Unfortunately, people with "expert" money managers panicked and had them lock in those loses.

It does make one wonder. Maybe it's just pure coincidence that the VIX was at it 3rd highest point, the other only times it was higher was just prior to the mortgage meltdown and the covid pandemic.n I'm too lazy to pull up the S&P 500 PE ratio chart, but IIRC it pretty much mirrors the VIX. But it doesn't matter that we had all sorts of things pointing to a correction, the only one that matters is the one we can blame on the Evil Orange Guy.

If you only pay attention to half the facts, you're bound to draw half-a$$ed conclusions.

Crypto mirrored the drop but it recovered very quickly.

Seriously? Show me what part of that quote was altered. Show me where I substituted words, rearranged the location of words, even misspelled words.

Here is the quote: "Do you know how fast that can be made back if everyone we are dealing with regarding tariffs plays FAIR?" - Thxone
Here is a screenshot of the post it came from:

Point out where my quote is not verbatim:
