Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

[brymoore]

Let me just say how fascinated I am by Kevin Hassett. Sure, when I listen to him I typically want to throw my computer at the TV, but he sure can spin. So much I think he actually believes it, but maybe that is the core of my fascination. Is he lying or just bullshitting? The guy could find a positive in anything the boss does. I guess I get why he was rehired for the second run.

I vote for idiot after his tariff comments.

So is it finally time to buy in more? Or are we going to correct more before it's finally over?

Still on the higher end of valuation but getting oversold. I'm finding it harder to find things to short. There may be more risk to the upside, but this requires a change in the Admin's view on tariffs. Not sure I want to bet on that. Recession seems all but guaranteed on this path.

Soooo much winning.

Talked to a prominent investor after Lutnick made similar comments last week. They yelled "WTF does that even mean?". It is all nonsense. They just hope supporters continue to follow.

And I guess pro-business policies mean making them pay for tariffs and telling them to STFU.

I know I've kinda been waiting for one. that was some of the best NR hunting opportunities.

Trump dropped a nuclear bomb on the economy and everyone is finally waking up and seeing it.
What a great job!

Yeah but I just lost a Gila landowner tag (or three) in the past few hours, I’m sure I’m far from the only one.

That’s the one positive from the Great Recession. No problem in getting tags back then lol
Looks like we’re heading there again…

I hope the Dow keeps dropping this last hour and closes down 1,000+ today and tomorrow. The more the better. There needs to be a jolt and wake up call to Washington to stop this tariff stupidity. Might not make a difference but I'd prefer a mini blowup now versus a much bigger one later this year.

I'm old enough to remember when immigration, inflation, and the economy were key election issues in 2024. Ironically, I think more Americans have been fired since Jan. 20 than illegal immigrants. How are the other two looking?

Yea but not a positive if you can't go until you retire and now wonder if you will be able to retire when you want!

He did say we would get tired of winning, at some point.

I'm not tired to the point of exhaustion, but could use a breather from the endless chaos.

Agree--I think it needs to get real bad to change the administrations course, and if that happens soon enough I think we might see a decent recovery or at least back to not panic territory for some.

I try to always look for a silver lining. This thread is presentling one at the moment.

There is a stark absence of anyone posting in favor of Trump's economic tariff policy.

One of my good friends from horseback pointing dog field trials, is a Canadian. We talk on the phone, every week or so. I am reasonably certain that most Americans have no idea how badly we have pissed off Canada. There will be a scar on our two countries relationship for a long long time. Of all of the disruption, it is the dissing of our friends and the cozying up to Putin, that most disheartens me.
