Because they don't matter. (And it's 125% tariffs now.)
The reason for the pivot on tariffs was the bond market.

The reason for the pivot on tariffs was the bond market.
However, this is not a laughing matter.
Rookie mistake: Check your portfolio during this madness.
Also: Imagine short selling something today- the market is way too volatile at this moment.
Trump invited them to the Oval Office only for them to find a couple of elephant seals waiting patiently...

Trump follows the Roy Cohn playbook (his former advisor and a key part of the shameful 1954 Army-McCarthy hearings in the Commie hunting scandal):
Attack, attack, attack.
Admit nothing, deny everything.
Always claim victory.
Trump follows this exactly on any and all issues. You can't think of one where he hasn't.
During those hearings, by the way, one victim of the slanders testified:
"Have you no decency, sir. At long last have you no decency?" to Cohn and Senator Joseph McCarthy. The answer was no. And neither does Trump. That says a lot about everything.
Well, I panic bought a 15" MBA M4 that was in stock at B&H. I have wanted one for awhile and since the tariff "pause" does not include China there is still no telling where those prices are headed after existing stocks run out. Apple will have to really scramble going forward to work around this... and to simultaneously not hurt their bottom line too much. On a good note, I did not dump my investments exactly because of the possibility for this sort of instant reversal from our unstable and unpredictable dear leader. As someone mentioned above, this is exhausting and nerve wracking.... and totally unnecessary.
Most of the analysts also forget to mention that the majority of their revenue comes from outside the US, and the weakening dollar means those sales just got appreciated by 10%, and are not affected by tariffs.
Posted this morning before pausing the tariffs. Can you say "Market Manipulation". I knew that you could.
I bought during the dip the last couple of days expecting it to come back up eventually. Didn’t realize it would jump so high so soon again. This week has been a roller coaster as far as the stock market goes.
Signature states we have a ZenBook, do you like the asus computer?
I loved my zenbook ponder blue asus notebook but sold that a mint or so ago.
I would like to see how the SCOTUS deems “Market Manipulation” as an “Official Act of Office”
That’s not all all what the US needs when the annual deficit approaches $2T. Steady as she goes is the worst idea.Just what the US needs - a steady, measured, consistent hand at the wheel.
Good for you
yea a lot of people daily are entering the time of retirement, the baby boomers are at that age.
This ship sailed long ago, the problem is we don’t have the skilled labor and volume of people to do this anymore. Along with affordability of product mfg. here.
Imagine trying to invest prudently when actors with inside information are manipulating the markets like that? If I weren't hoarding cash in anticipation of the next market tsunami, I'd buy options on a leveraged VIX ETF. Volatility is virtually guaranteed. As is the decline of the dollar, which you can also buy options on.
No tariffs have been paused. They are still at 10% across the world. It is just the higher rates for some countries are not being applied.
If Trump and Musk were actively trying to empower Russia as a renewed superpower, they couldn't do better. Hmmm…do we have a Russian agent in the White House? Which one is it? Because the other one is a marionette. Why did Russia escape tariffs "because they're at war" when Ukraine was levied tariffs? I could go on but I don't want to get suspended. Again…sigh
I don't know where you read that, but hours before Trump reduced the tariffs to 10% for almost every country (including the EU), the EU approved 25% tariffs on many US goods in retaliation. https://www.reuters.com/markets/eur...fs-some-us-imports-document-shows-2025-04-07/
They will not have to pay 125% or 104%. Maybe they would pay 10%.
Apple is a special case - they will be exempt I believe

Some ECB governors see high chance of June cut
Some European Central Bank policymakers see a high chance of a further interest rate cut in June as a trade war and the associated market turmoil dent the economic outlook, four sources told Reuters.
Boomers have benefited for decades from A LOT. The system has been in their favor. I have zero sympathy for boomers.
