I can't believe that the market wasn't reassured by "we've killed all their leaders and nobody knows who to talk to but we're talking the right people and they want to make a deal". I mean with that kind of Presidential clarity surely they are now just deciding which font to use for the final agreement, right?

This dumb president has cost me so much of a loss in my investment portfolio. This moron has no clue about finances. He’s bankrupted so many of his startups and now he’s doing it to the American economy. Fricken Loser!!

I mean, he literally has gone from "multiple time felon varyingly nearing insolvency and prison at several points in the last decade" to something like $6bn up and no real risk of any consequences, ever.

He has way more than 6bn sadly, he is really good at grifting. Just his crypto schemes are probably insane value. And you know those Venezuela oil money is not going to us.

Honest question.. why can a sitting president have such a lucrative source of income and not disclose where it's coming from and how much he's making?

He's not supposed to but until we the people hold him accountable beyond forum posting about it, he won't care.

And to think all he had to do was play golf and take credit for Biden's economy for 4 years. Republicans would've jerked him off posthumously for 40 years like they did with Reagan's demented ass

1

alabasterskim Mar 28, 2026 +1

If all he did in both terms of note was his big wealthy and corporate tax giveaways, yep. But that's the fun thing about Trump; you can't expect him to be controlled. The ones here in the US expecting to control him are possibly seeing that now, but his foreign handlers knew that and have been hoping for as much. An erratic US president has done wonders for tanking our international credibility and soft power.

The only saving grace with my portfolio.. I've entirely divested myself from American businesses. It has taken a dive from this shit.. but only about a third as much as something like VOO since this bullshit war garbage has started. (and outperforming VOO by around 38% since I moved everything over about a year ago)

Beantown-Jack Mar 28, 2026 +32

This week, the stock market lost $1.5 trillion in market cap solely because Trump is an evil imbecile. Pretending that any of this is normal or inevitable is not a smart look.

Reduntu Mar 28, 2026 -18

Nobody is saying Trump isn't an evil imbecile. But in terms of the magnitude of market movements, it is completely normal so far at least. Corrections of around 10% happen all the time.

mustbeusererror Mar 28, 2026 +1

Market drops because of discrete events aren't corrections. Market corrections are when people realize conditions aren't what they thought. The tariff stuff and Iran are events that actually changed market conditions.

Not with this level of insider trading resulting in a cohort either a.) deliberately crashing markets to sweep up the pieces and increasing their personal wealth or b.) merely weaponizing insider knowledge. The timing and nature of this is distinct such that an annualized approach to this is … disingenuous? Obtuse? Errant at least.

I've seen people describe the stock market as astrology for rich people. Given how often the entire global economy seems to make wild swings based off functionally zero real information, I feel like that might actually be unfair to astrology.

Golden-Owl Mar 28, 2026 +1

Because a lot of them love playing stocks. They like high rolling, buying and selling, etc. To do that, you need a lot of fluctuation, giving you an opportunity to buy and sell at different prices. Trump is very good at causing said instability. For those of us who recommend more balanced, safe, long term investments (e.g retirement planning, dividend paying funds, managing fixed deposits, etc), Trump just creates a mess. However, this section of financial investing is often not acknowledged online because it’s boring and practical. It often entails a lot of meticulous document reading, excel calculations, and planning The crazy stock fluctuation is flashy, exciting, easy to do (anyone can buy stocks) and sells the dream of getting rich quick. Slow planning isn’t, so we’ve no reason to talk about it outside of work

Trump has got to be the most ignorant president we've ever had, so when he says he didn't think Iran would respond like this I have to believe him. I mean he really is that uniformed, arrogant, and stupid.

In New Zealand, gasoline has gone from NZ$2.60 a litre to NZ$3.60 in a few weeks. That's USD **$9.36 a gallon.** Our government has sat on it's hands and done nothing to secure diesel supplies, so now our economy will be destroyed. I guess that serves us right for helping you out in Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, etc. Never, ever again. Have you ever had a friend you would do absolutely anything for, but that friend treats you like you don't exist and then throws you under the bus for nothing? That's the United States for New Zealand and the rest of your allies.

I'm reminded of the start of the pandemic where the markets would falter, then he'd say some stupid shit to try to calm them which would have the opposite effect and would tank harder because everyone with eyes and ears could see he was incapable of managing anything. Rinse and repeat every day for several weeks.

altsuperego Mar 28, 2026 +8

Still c****, I won't be satisfied till $150

Intel-Source Mar 28, 2026 +8

$200.

Chemical-Fault-7331 Mar 28, 2026 +1

This is the magic number. Once it hits 200, no one can really ignore the shocks it will cause to the economy. Everything will be ridiculously more expensive. And hopefully the GOP gets fucked 7 ways from Sunday.

1

altsuperego Mar 28, 2026 +1

Eh no one noticed the tariffs, this won't even be that bad except at the pump

1

goddamn_leeteracola Mar 28, 2026 +1

If it goes to $200, everything will be so much more expensive. The logistics to move everything around in the global markets depends on oil. At $200 a barrel logistics increases could add 30-50% on EVERYTHING WE BUY.

1

altsuperego Mar 28, 2026 +1

For domestic trucking, gas is 5% or less of the cargo value, I imagine similar for shipping. The bigger issue is things just don't get shipped. Still the MAGAs will riot if it hits $6.

1

goddamn_leeteracola Mar 28, 2026 +1

I’m in Hawaii, so everything is shipped in. Ocean freight can be 10-30% of the product cost. Freight carriers have already raised the fuel surcharge by 8% with another 10% on deck. If oil goes to $200, the ocean freight would go up another 20-30%. Any imported products from China/Taiwan would be dramatically affected. That includes imported products into the US.

1

altsuperego Mar 28, 2026 +1

Sure. I think the entire Oceania is and will get screwed. But the import costs in the 48 states will be minimal compared to gas. Maybe 20% versus $6 and people don't even complain about Amazon or Groceries anymore. But they freak out if gas goes up $1 for some reason.

tricksterloki Mar 28, 2026 +1

The markets, for the most part, ignore Trump and have been for months. That's not to say there aren't fluctuations in response to something Trump says, but they are ultimately small and fleeting. Having said that, the markets do respond to Trump's actual actions and the meaningful effects those have. The problem is that Trump's actions are erratic, but that also plays a role in why the markets ignore what Trump says. The word of the US president used to mean something. Now, it's pointless and impotent drivel.
