A lot of people in the market are using this news of "economic uncertainty," to get real rich off of short-trading. Just gaming the system for now. AATW doesn't have a clue about how the market operates.

However, I am not too sure why you are concerned and appear to care about the success of America, considering that your own country is failing significantly

Your narrative of small surcharges on Canadian and Mexican goods causing this is a terrible take.
Now try responding to what I actually said, not what you're imagining I did.

Here is NY Post to set you straight

Literally the first line of the article:
Quote
Wall Street is puking big-time, and the Sell buttons are working overtime whenever the word “tariff” passes from Donald Trump’s lips

Quote
This situation will likely correct itself
Well, maybe. But the recent drop IS caused by Trump shouting TARIFF every 5 minutes and the fact that no-one knows what he's going to do next, least of all him.
The markets do not like uncertainty.

And did you see how much it gained in the previous two years prior to that?
And who was president when that was going on?

Sure, the recent stock surges was all thanks to demented Joe Biden, and the recent innovations and unprecedented market capitalization by the American companies had nothing to do with it.  ::)

Quote from: AATW
And what a coincidence that it happened just as Trump started flailing around shouting “TARIF” at everyone.
The markets actually went up when he first became president. Then everyone realised he has no idea what he’s doing. No strategy. No one knows what he’s going to do next, least of all Trump. The markets hate uncertainty, that’s why everything is tanking.

Your narrative of small surcharges on Canadian and Mexican goods causing this is a terrible take. Many of the companies affected are in sectors which have nothing to do with that, or with the physical trade of foreign goods. There have been other significant events which have occurred recently, which discredits your coincidence theory.  Beyond overpriced stocks, it is otherwise far more likely that another factor driving the sell off is related to the massive government cuts and Wall Street's addiction to government grants.

This situation will likely correct itself and you won't have to cry and be sad about this anymore. However, I am not too sure why you are concerned and appear to care about the success of America, considering that your own country is failing significantly if we divide the US GDP by US population and compare the same to the UK GDP and UK population. By this general measure, an American is twice as valuable as a British citizen. You really should do better.

It's called a correction.

It’s almost like the economy is being run by someone who has had multiple failed businesses

Only a retart would doom about the stock market dropping a few percent.
8.5% in the last month.
When was the last monthly drop that big?

And did you see how much it gained in the previous two years prior to that? It's called a correction.

Here is a CNN Article from today:

Title: "Dow slides and S&P enters correction territory as Trump’s trade war escalates"

The last similar correction was in 2023: "The last correction to the S&P 500 occurred in 2023, when the benchmark index fell 10.3% from a closing high in July to October, according to Turnquist."

Flat Earth Theory / Re: A paradox in SR

The string won't break because SR is false nonsense used to explain the results of experiments which contradict the Round Earth Theory.
You are this meme



This is ironic, since many modern researchers have criticisms against Special Relativity. It is a theory on its deathbed. You are that guy on the internet dismissing experts.

See https://wiki.tfes.org/Criticisms_of_Relativity_Theory

Quote
Special relativity is used or accounted for in many real-world applications such as nuclear energy and GPS.

Prof Mauro Marchionni says that this is an urban legend.
