1. Stockbrokers are NOT policy makers. They SURVIVE on COMMISSIONS, even the renowned Mr Warren Buffet of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. They will react with ANY news to either sell or buy, often NOT based upon far vision analytical analysis, which is legal but only based upon trust & naivety of others, but something that even SCAMMERS learnt to do, more so even mainstream media in an unaccountability so called freedom of press rights BUT beholden to others, even the editor or owner of the biz press enterprise, whom are against change or with axe to grind to those in power.


2. Thus, with just a mere simple call to the naive & mostly those whom are hardworking in other fields of work, from scientists to the toilet cleaner, they simply TRUST their advice & follow accordingly, often to see the end of their hard earned life savings on mere wild guesses, while the stock broker grows fat on commissions either way, owning landed properties, driving luxury cars & living life to the fullest....



3. For an intelligent investor, the FACTS remain:-

a) USA IS the largest consumerist society on Earth.

Do not make the mistake that just population size alone would determine a consumerist society. China has a large population, so too EU & even fertile valley ASEAN nations combined. HOWEVER, how much do they earn to even dream of buying a cheap Iphone costing $2000, at mere avg salary of $400/mth, let alone a other utilities such as healthcare, education, etc, or even a legal home of their own?

Worse still, those fellow Human workers are working under sweatshops 9-9-6 conditions with NO consideration on Human Rights on FAIR principles to work to live but ONLY live to work for their exploitive so called 'entrepreneurs' whom live in luxury at the expense of every aspect of Humankind, even USA taxpayers, in those foreign countries?


b) USA is a Democratic Nation, Rule of Law based, with many legal migrants from Worldwide which means they DO contribute to the growth, prosperity & evolution of their Nation, as proven for decades since 17th Century even to Humankind, which even took Humanity to the Moon & even far far beyond....They are a nation of talents, & had proven successful to even helping build other nations, but sadly greatly TAKEN ADVANTAGE of in trade & reciprocity in EVERY aspect of Civilization progress.

Equally, it is RESOURCE RICH Nation, not just proven innovative talents that abounds. It has NO need of any resource from any other nations on Earth to prosper, not even oil or so called rare earth minerals that exists in their own HUGE landmass..


c) With such, thru tariffs, the only way is up for Human progression, prosperity & evolution, at least in USA under PrezTrump, in society, jobs, stocks, Treasury notes, etc. The market has now only entered a correction mode.

It is an opportunity for the World to invest in USA, not just in stocks or treasury notes, but into biz enterprises - manufacturing, industries, supply chains, services, etc, to create HONEST jobs NOT just for Americans, but prosper together Worldwide as individual investors than to rely on National political leaders from foreign Nations whom may have agendas far different from citizens & Americans


d) Globalization & so called FREE TRADE are great ideals at first glance, just like how Karl Marx envisioned Communism to be, & such had been tried, but the results were a horror as many other foreign leaders are not stupid but only to make use of others' goodwill, such as taking advantage of USA to grow & prosper their own countries, at the expense of of Americans.

Enough is enough....


e) As for foreign stocks & investors that had placed their hard earned living savings upon, that relied HEAVILY upon taking advantage of American taxpayers, the moment of reality & reckoning has come....

As mentioned before, there are forces that will attempt to play the supposed Free Market for their own selfish gains, but in the end, REALITIES will stand on its own pedestal. Grab a bag of chips, seat back & watch. Money DOES NOT disappear into thin air, Investors & savers will have to find proven & for those whom are savvy enough - safe havens to park their hard earned life savings & funds....
 
Trump started this tariff war with almost the whole world. Once we start to see few key countries capitulate, the stock market will move on and the stocks will spike.
 
There is a difference between stagflation & inflation in relation to when Tariffs set in. One is a situation & the other a choice.

Inflation is a choice for the American People. While imported goods cost will become higher, as such tariffs or taxes are passed on to the consumers, the American do have a choice - to not buy expensive foreign goods & stick to locally produced goods.

For example - a foreign made BMW 3 series costs $47K in USA. With tariffs it will cost close to $60k.
A locally USA made Chevrolet Malibu of the SAME engine type just as good costs only $26k, with NO tariffs.

Furthermore, with higher prices of imported goods, it WILL encourage more American entrepreneurs to set up shops, supply chains, factories, etc to meet its own nation's demands, thus creating jobs & revenue for its economy.


Stagflation is a situation, not choice, because when a nation depends heavily on cheap imported goods without tariffs, they will not be creating goods or jobs, & thus if they continue on in such manner, they will eventually be no longer be able to buy any goods, as they have no jobs - nor will there be any impetus to create local manufacturing as such locally produced goods are not even competitive or worth the effort.

As mentioned, USA is a land of talents & resources, needs no one or goods from other countries. Their consumerist market size is good enough for everyone in USA to prosper, & PrezTrump is attempting to reverse the rot of being taken advantage of, to grow its economy & create jobs for Americans & legal migrants living on its shores.
 
losol bro. What's your main point in the 1st post? Too much text.

There is a difference between stagflation & inflation in relation to when Tariffs set in. One is a situation & the other a choice.

Inflation is a choice for the American People. While imported goods cost will become higher, as such tariffs or taxes are passed on to the consumers, the American do have a choice - to not buy expensive foreign goods & stick to locally produced goods.

not necessarily. It's not as simple as a 3 series or a Malibu. If I were to change the example to an X3 or a Equinox, both would have similar amounts of American made content and both are built by American labour. Both will be subjected to tariffs if applied now because both source parts from Canada and Mexico. Nobody buys cars in the US anymore the equivalents are compact SUVs. Both are volume leaders for their brand and in the same size category.

Furthermore, with higher prices of imported goods, it WILL encourage more American entrepreneurs to set up shops, supply chains, factories, etc to meet its own nation's demands, thus creating jobs & revenue for its economy.
It will FORCE Americans to setup not encourage. Do you think Americans wanted foreign suppliers in the 1st place? They went overseas in the 1st place because local suppliers sucked. You go and deal with American autoworkers then you know.

Stagflation is a situation, not choice, because when a nation depends heavily on cheap imported goods without tariffs, they will not be creating goods or jobs, & thus if they continue on in such manner, they will eventually be no longer be able to buy any goods, as they have no jobs - nor will there be any impetus to create local manufacturing as such locally produced goods are not even competitive or worth the effort.
The US economy has been doing fine so far. The stupid tariffs will create stagflation. It is a choice to impose the tariffs no? Hence stagflation is a situation brought about by a choice.
As mentioned, USA is a land of talents & resources, needs no one or goods from other countries. Their consumerist market size is good enough for everyone in USA to prosper, & PrezTrump is attempting to reverse the rot of being taken advantage of, to grow its economy & create jobs for Americans & legal migrants living on its shores.
omg. really economics teaching in singapore must really suck shit. everything in this last statement you made is conflicting with itself. if you're really interested to know how it really works, reply and I will walk you through the incorrectness of your last statement step by step. If you rather believe it to be true, just feel free to ignore.
 
Can Sinkie effectively lure factories from ASEAN countries with high tariffs to relocate to our shores, which offer significantly lower tariffs and greater access to the US market?
 
Tanking now. Friday trades drawing to closing
Bells

Rare to see 3 digits drop at STI.

1. It is only common savvy investor behavior & reaction when the market is in turmoil. it's their life & corporate savings afterall.

2. They are still flushed with cash, for those whom bought low & sold high, & for those who bought high & saw low, are only cutting losses, TO assess carefully over time on WHICH are the markets to place their savings in, especially those that would not be hit by tariffs, including even USA stocks as some are merely assembly manufacturing that still rely on costly now foreign supply chains.

3. Now that the markets are reaching lows, it would be an opportunity to buy worthy stocks. Sit back, chill & keep calm. The show is still running.....
 
The only way to reduce the interest rate from about 5% to 0% which FED is reluctantly to reduce any. It is reminiscent of the economic conditions that led to the 1929 Great Depression, which was exacerbated by the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930.
