Trump Attacks Iran and Inflation has a love experience!

[SweetTea]

I said it was a good year for me. Pay attention.

That is possible, just not the norm.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

That is possible, just not the norm.

The markets (and I) are doing well the first half of this year, as well.

The S&P is up for the year. It will continue to increase and the economy will flourish. The downturn was a freak out about tariffs which was a big nothing burger. We will be better for it in the long run. Yes, Trump could have prevented the freak out by continuing down the same path, but that was a recipe for disaster. Sometimes you have to bite the bullet.

2022 was dismal the entire year and yes it could have been lessoned. Biden's big money print didn't help inflation. The S&P fell significantly more than EU markets in 2022.

AI Overview

Between February and May of this year, US stock markets lost approximately $11 trillion. This significant loss was largely attributed to concerns about new tariffs imposed by the US government. The downturn was particularly severe in the early part of April, with a $3.25 trillion loss on April 4 alone, according to the Digital Watch Observatory.

Oil surged after the US struck Iran's three main nuclear sites and threatened further attacks, exacerbating a crisis in the Middle East and stoking concerns that energy supplies from the region could be disrupted. Global benchmark Brent rallied as much as 5.7% to $81.40 a barrel, extending three weeks of gains.

Oil Soars as Trump's Attack on Iran Boosts Risks to Supplies

JPMorgan analysts warned earlier this month that a full-blown military conflict and a closure of the strait could hike prices as high as $130 per barrel. That would probably push prices at the pump in the U.S. up by more than $1 from where they are now.

Every action has a reaction and the bliss that the Right is experiencing right now because Trump bombed Iran has consequences, which in this case, are likely to be felt in the pocketbook of all Americans.

Didn't Trump promise to lower inflation with "drill baby, drill"? Well, the fact is that he just drilled his own promise into the ground.

That was the day Trump criminally manipulated the markets for profit with his announcements several times that day.

Cherry picking I see, for the year the stocks are up at modest gains. With the news being negative on Trump, I’m surprised there are gains but investors usually don’t get emotional of investing, they tend to ignore the hype around the news.

 

[AntonToo]

You did not understand what I said. It was Japan that bombed the U.S. and we retaliated. In this case, it was Trump that bombed Iran and as such, we can expect retaliation from them, meaning Trump STARTED this war.

Let's keep it real.

Unlike US, Iran today has no means. They got completely dominated and whatever is left of their leadership only lives so long as Israel allows it to live.

No means? You mean their cells in the U.S. have been destroyed as well? That this, cannot happen again?

??? Ignore the hype? This year every single analyst (including myself) is uncertain and confused with what is to happen. This market swings crazily based on what Trump says! that is the exact opposite of "ignoring"

Yes, they have no means.

They can inflict some damage somewhere in United States, but to what end?

If the Iranian regime is tied to such an attack it will be force-swapped within a few weeks.

No, there already was active conflict between Israel and Iran. TRUMP! just joined it, and by appearances so far, pretty much brought it to a stand-still.

If you were smart enough not to sell, you didn't lose anything. If you listened to the Democrat, anti-Trump "experts", then you lost your butt. I'm up for the year, but then again I don't listen to the same people as many of you.

From Trump's OWN Intelligence group. Are they lying too?

Early US intelligence report suggests US strikes only set back Iran’s nuclear program by months​

WASHINGTON (AP) — A U.S. intelligence report suggests that Iran’s nuclear program has been set back only a few months after U.S. strikes and was not “completely and fully obliterated” as President Donald Trump has said, according to two people familiar with the early assessment.

The report issued by the Defense Intelligence Agency on Monday contradicts statements from Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the status of Iran’s nuclear facilities. According to the people, the report found that while the Sunday strikes at the Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear sites did significant damage, the facilities were not totally destroyed. The people were not authorized to address the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

You don't seem to understand that I am a stock market analyst and have been one for 48 years, I don't listen to others, they listen to me! I have shown publicly and officially success every year for the past 18 years that I have had my subscription service. I charge $30 per month and 5 of the original subscribers to my service are still with me for all 18 years. I must be doing something right, no?

I am the one that reads and interprets the economic info, not the other way around, like you do by listening to Trump and repeating his lies.

Every Analyst including you, hahahahahahahahaha! Is that YOU MACAFLOOZEEEEEEEEEEE, hehehehehehehe!

You are an incompetent boob, have gotten next to NOTHING correct, and if you are an ANALYST, (hehehehehehehe) you need to warn your clients how you are O'FER all your predictions on here-) All of your threads have aged BADLY; so badly that we do not trust you to tell us what 4 plus 4 equals.

Giving AID and COMFORT to our enemies through your rhetoric, proves you are as close to a TRAITOR as you can get.........which also shows that you spewing Trump is a totalitarian king, is just propaganda made up by you, and your friends.

How do we know this?

Because if you ACTUALLY BELIEVED YOUR PROPAGANDA, you would be hiding, not spewing your bullsh*. They would hunt and find you, if what you and your friends said was true. You are obviously not in fear of THE NAZI REGIME you claim runs the country. But trust me-------------->if they were to arrest you for any reason, a bunch of us are going to try and bribe them, to come in and plant our foot directly on your TRAITEROUS a* before they release you-) You da** phony!

And I have some swampland in Florida I will sell you.

Just so I/we understand, your profits and losses are generated per 100 shares. 100 shares of what?

P.S. You are Da MACAFLOOZZZZZZZEEEEEEEEE in El Disguisy, aren't you-)

P.S.S. How is the inflation rate and the price of oil working towards what YOU PREDICTED? Everything that I have seen you predict, has been BASSACKWARDS. You can get pi**sed (and your friends also) all you want, but the facts on this board show you ARE O'FER, or very close to it! PROVE ME WRONG! Want me to start listing links to your GENIUS threads-)

I don't use Trump for economic insight. I have done quite well for myself by reading a variety of sources and using common sense. 12-13% annualized growth on my largest account is pretty good. Analysts are not immune to being influenced by outside sources, particularly when it comes to Trump and his policies. IMO, the markets and the economy will flourish under Trump. Deregulation across the board, more even tariffs and making the tax cuts permanent will benefit the economy greatly. Deportations will not have a significant negative effect. Now that Trump is in office, it doesn't help the "experts" cause when they cry wolf every week, about another doom and gloom event that never comes to pass. WW3 is the latest example. Inflation is yet another. Remember, the "experts" said the Biden inflation was transient. I stated many times on this board that it was not. Many experts can't see the forest for the trees.

Lets wait it out and see how it all pans out. So far so good as far as I am concerned.
