Who would have predicted that random tariffs would crash the value of the indexes?
Relax. Trade war is easy to win. Wall Street will rebound like a miracle, to a new high that nobody has ever seen before. Trump is fixing economy just like a beautiful border wall has been along the southern border in 24 hours, on his first day in the white house, after Trump made a couple phone calls and wrote a couple love letters. Have faith, because Trump can fix everything and anything.
The word you're looking for is unrealized loss. It is only a loss if you sell. Hold for the long- term and wait for the storm to pass.
Well, unless you were planning on retiring. Looks like you’ll need to hang on another few more years to make up for losses. Hopefully you still have a job in a few months. Current job market probably isn’t too kind on 60 somethings looking to retire. Oh, well, who could’ve predicted this mess?
Trump ran on lower prices. Tariffs will increase prices. If manufacturing does come back to USA, the cost of labor is 70 times more here than in Mexico or China. How does this ever lower prices. I voted to cancel WOKE and to close the border. Instead I got the gulf of America and this? wtf?

Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me.
Trump works in mysterious ways. For example, after mass government layoffs, trade wars, and reductions in government spendings, the demand will go down as we hit a 30 percent unemployment rate. In a fair market when demand goes down, the commodity prices will go down. Be patient, and you will persevere during this trial.

Baby boomers feel like they’re entitled to 20% a year every year. Easily the worst generation ever.

Bad take on your part. He wasn't complaining about not getting 20% a year increases. He's complaining about the value of his retirement account getting slashed by a man with a poor understanding of global economics who is grifting off the US taxpayers.
The current 5 year return of the S&P TODAY 04/04/2025 is 106%
5 years ago today the poop was hitting the fan as the supply chain impacts of the pandemic were just getting started so the market was tanking then while Trump was at the helm. So yeah the market is improved off the last low, but it’s lost a tone of value since Inauguration Day losing so much of the returns on the Biden Economy.
A stated desire to have a trade surplus with every nation is a fundamentally inefficient way to run a national economy and impossible to implement. The tariffs being implemented are not reciprocal but rather a representation of the trade imbalance. Lesotho (50 percent tariff) exports denim and diamonds to the US, and 50 percent of their population are subsistence farmers. A purchasing power of a few dollars a day per capita isn’t going to create any demand for US goods to target for a profit. It just makes denim and other textiles more expensive but less expensive than it could be produced domestically.
