- Comment on China now faces 245% Trump tariff 4 weeks ago:
It does make a difference. Let’s say a thing you need about once a month to run your business was 10 dollars from China. You can get a similar product in the US, but it’s 30 dollars. At 80%, it’s still cheaper to get from China, 18 bucks. At 245%, it’s now 24.50 to buy from China. Still cheaper than buying from the US, but now way more expensive.
I know these are made up numbers, but it isn’t that unusual for US made items to be 3-10x the price of making it in ‘cheap labor’ countries.

It’s more being insecure. He might try to act all tough, but he’s really soft or he wouldn’t care. And wouldn’t get so reactionary/easily triggered.

Right, being self employed is a job. Can be any made up shit. Or someone in the area should hire whoever needs it, they just don’t get any hours.
- Comment on Seeing a lot of copium but am I fucking crazy? The market would have to do more than just recover for people to recoup their losses? 5 weeks ago:
It has “returned to the mean” as far back as we can look. It doesn’t mean a special year, but as best we can see, it will eventually return to that mean.
It actually matters less to people just starting. At that point it’s more about the number of stocks you buy than the value of them. The value matters later when you have a ton and your contributions are tiny compared to the actual swings.
- Comment on Seeing a lot of copium but am I fucking crazy? The market would have to do more than just recover for people to recoup their losses? 5 weeks ago:
They are, but what’s affecting people now is the concern.
Say you’ve been investing for the past 10 years. You put in 5k a year. 5 years ago you had 33k saved after interest. You kept contributing, and a few weeks ago you would have 105k. With the drops in the mark the last week, you suddenly have 95k. You lost 10 grand, which will take you two years to put back in. Not to mention we’re expecting a major drop today, you might lose another 10k in a few days. That is what gets people panicking and selling.
The reality is they haven’t lost anything unless they get out of the market. They still have the same number of stocks, and the value of those stocks only really matters when you sell them.
- Comment on Seeing a lot of copium but am I fucking crazy? The market would have to do more than just recover for people to recoup their losses? 5 weeks ago:
Most people are losing more than 5000. In the US, stocks and bonds are a big part of most people’s retirement. So people in the 50-60 range average 400k+ in the market. Meaning this last week they have lost roughly 40k.
- Comment on Seeing a lot of copium but am I fucking crazy? The market would have to do more than just recover for people to recoup their losses? 5 weeks ago:
Over 30 years with the ups and downs it averages 10-12% a year. So while this year will probably be bad, next year or the year after will probably be exceptionally good.

You shouldn’t be invested that heavily in stocks at that age though.

- Comment on Trump says U.S. will 'get Greenland,' military force may not be needed but not ruled out 1 month ago:
While it does take an act of congress to declare a war, the US has deployed troops, at the direction of the president, in all sorts of engagements for decades without declaring war. The last time Congress declared war was WW2. Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and so much more were directed by the president.

- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 2 months ago:
Yea, it’s super location dependant. Generally the more rural the lower the taxes. But it also varies by state. States with low or no income tax tend to have higher property tax.

Yes most people have this experience… Which is why I said on average.
- Comment on Let me tell you something, I haven't even begun to peak. 2 months ago:
I haven’t read this study, but I’ve heard most people tend to be their happiest after their kids move out, and near retirement. You have more time to do the things you want, have more ‘extra’ cash than before, and are still in decent health. Obviously this is on average and varies by person.
