Or they are relieved that less of their money is now risked on the whims of a fool

So the fake-leak
was 100% true... or just tested the water

Meh.... A lot of people traded on that rumour. Wouldn't quite draw that conclution unless there's something I'm not seeing here.
Nvm, I read it completely wrong. Yeah, that looks fishy as fuck.

Nasdaq down 7%. I guess it was all for nothing.

Anyway another new all time high for gold.The unpredicable nature of Trump is highly bullish for gold, gold miners really been doing well considering the turmoil of the past week or so.

I think many people just assume that once the supply of solar powered dashboard hula dancer sees a 120% increase in prices, DJT will back down from Tariffs and claim it was all a missunderstanding.

Probably the talk of a run on new iphones in the us in anticipating of said tariffs.
Sure it doesn't make sense long term but the stock market is based on feelings not facts.

People who gambled on shorting apple (and others) over the weekend will get their pants blown off tomorrow.

Things are going to bounce up on Monday, but then after who knows. So much of the stock market is feelings rather than math these days. And we also don't know what 5 opposing decisions and statements Trump is going to make/do by Wednesday. Unless you MGT and can invest before he says it, I'd suggest waiting it out.

Nutlick forgot to buy calls so tariffs are back on

This is why I've been trading on vibes not "data" or "analytics" for the past month 😎

I guess that with Trump at the helm if you're not an inner circle insider US stock market is akin to playing slot machines.

I just bowed out, but if I was still "playing" I would go with using my sense of smell.

The only way you can play this game is to either pull all of your cash out and just wait like Warren Buffet or just play the game off pure vibes because the tariffs in general are just plain pants on head stupid. There's no logic in anything beyond the government trying to rug pull every retail investor until there are no retail investors anymore.
Like you know the exemptions on electronics and shit that Trump announced? No one knows what the fuck is going on anymore but apparently those exceptions are only on the finished goods. This is legitimately the dumbest idea in the world and is only good for businesses that manufacture everything overseas like Apple.
This literally kills domestic manufacturing and design who use overseas materials and prototyping to move up the value chain. These tariff exemptions are so brain dead that they practically end up subsidizing overseas manufacturing while kicking guys who actually do higher value manufacturing and design in the United States down the totem pole.
There's no way to time anything when the administration responds so emotionally, is just this incompetent, and is so amazingly cowardly in many ways. Like you said, there's no way to win unless you're able to buy a dinner with the Trump Administration and convince them to carve out an exemptions with a large enough "gift offering". Jensen Huang and Tim Cook are showing us the blueprint, this administration is corrupt enough to accept "gifts". If you know about these dinners, then you're also the guy buying Apple stock a day before they get their exemptions.

Its not looking like a great time for long term investing.

We aren't even near the level of GFC, that's really when anyone made the big bucks or missed out trying to time the market. Forget all the big headers in the news, plenty of companies are shifting production or shifting heavy investment in the US. The US needs to fix up its overreliance on the consumer market and not the manufacturing. And China having/had both manufacturing and smaller but large consumer is what US needs to become

Every thing I read, and everyone I know at different companies in Canada and in the US is holding off on any investments or changes. You can't forecast out this week let alone 6 months - 5 years. The closest thing I can think of is some people are carrying more inventory just so that they can price out future projects. But those are the kind of investments that "protect" you but don't have any future gains associated with them.

nVidia and Apple are the most notable businesses playing the old "$X billions to be invested over the next decade, in the meantime please give our products exemptions". Apple's played this song ever since their resurgence, Tim Cook has and will always be a supply chain guy.
The US isn't China, you can see the logic in China (as a nation) putting their investments in specific things that helps keep them maintain a stranglehold on supply chains and manufacturing as a whole.
Like the whole finished product exemptions. OK so you want to bring back manufacturing back the country, awesome. Then why are you punishing domestic manufacturers who use high end ALPS potentiometers or Japanese capacitors because that's the market expectation for quality? But also give foreign manufacturers exemptions to send a completely manufactured and assembled electronic product that undercuts said domestic manufacturer?
The answer is that most of these domestic manufacturers can't be Jensen Huang and gift Trump tribute money in the form of "dinners". The whole tariff policy is pure incompetence but the exemptions are the type of cowardly and corrupt behavior done by an administration that doesn't even believe their own mission. Some businesses might move (or in Apple's case, pretend to move) production back to the United States in a way to curry favour with the current administration but can you say that the current administration is really doing anything to fix current and self imposed failings in US supply chains?
