·Of course we might have misheard, ‘feeling a bit skippy’ I believe this is Australian slang for interfering with marsupials.
Originally about tariffs and watches ... now just political rambling

··Omega Qualified WatchmakerInteresting take...as suspected the bond market was the driver for the reversal, and Japan was doing the selling...at the same time they were "negotiating"...

·Just the opposite, imo. China has few friends anywhere now who will continue to buy all the stuff they produce without question, look at all of the stuff moved out of China to Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and other locales. The Chinese economy is in a weak state and Xi will eventually have to come to the table and make a deal regarding tariffs. The USA is now putting itself in the catbird seat, negotiating directly with 70+ countries directly, leaving China out for now. Everything is in play but I don't see China as having a winning hand or position at this time. It's all up for negotiation now, and those that are at the table first will get the best deals. Whether it all works is yet to be determined.
Exiting times, I have still a naive hope that it can be solved with everyones best interest in mind. The frequent crashes of the economy hurts to many people.

·You can see the real thing on youtube. The response as been constant across the board. There is no need to make up random hypothetical.
YouTube certainly doesn’t change anything I said. Like the MSM, its feeds into certain narratives and audiences in order to sell advertising. The commenters are the worst and littered with self loathing doomers. One could find a video supporting pretty much any bias anyway.

·Oh, I don't know. Now that the stable genius has caved on most of the tariffs (for now, at least), companies and countries around the world will probably be totally confident in making financial projections and business decisions.
Good point. The cackling loser, who spend 1.5 billion on twerking rappers and celebrity endorsements, but still lost, would never have put us in this position. She wanted to tax unrealized gains, that would have fixed our problems for sure.

·Stock chaos continues after momentary reprieve. We are witnessing the worst economic decision of all time. Thoughts and prayers for people who invested in the US stock market and were hoping to retire.
On the bright side, previous watch purchases seem like a brilliant deversification strategy at this point.

In regards to the stock market I'd be very hesitant to call a 10% single day up in the major indices reprieve. It's indicative of extreme volatility, which is rarely good for anyone for more than a couple hours.
Yesterday was the single largest one day move up in the Q's since October 2008. This kind of goes back to what @Walrus was saying earlier about the best and worst days.

·I'm glad we got you so engaged in OF with this thread. Before this thread, it looks like your participation has been pretty much limited to WRUW for years. What a breath of fresh air!
Judge me, and stalk me as you will. I was responding to your attack on the current admin. I am allowed to do the same. Harris was horrible with financial decisions.

Indeed, I’m not hiding anything, there is no need.
