reaction to Trumps "order"

[Mike473]

Maybe US companies should consider other options because China is a Communist country known for human rights violations, terrible working conditions and disastrous environmental policies. Not to mention, their one sided trade policies.

Again, from your own link:
The tariffs on Chinese goods are projected to have a "cost impact" on Home Depot's U.S. sales of about 2%, or $2 billion.

That sounds good to you?

Read the fucking link. Home Depot’s suppliers are moving out of China to avoid this cost impact. This is reducing the impact of those sales numbers. These tariffs have been in place for a while and yet we still see the performance of HD stock increasing with higher highs and lower lows and new support each time it rebounds from its correction. That’s not how a company hurting from tariffs performs.

In America, estimates say that Chinese suppliers make up 70-80 percent of Walmart’s merchandise, leaving less than 20 percent for American-made products.

Walmart makes $34,985 in profit every minute, meaning that Walmart makes $10 million in profit approximately every five hours.

HD customers go to Walmart.

Look at their stock chart too. Higher highs, lower lows and new support each rebound from correction. Again, not the performance of a company that’s hurting from Chinese tariffs. The market knows more than you, me, or a journalist.

Walmart Inc. (WMT) Earnings Surprise

Surprise lol. Let’s revist this discussion in a couple weeks after the market has had a chance to process the newest reports about the tariffs because clearly the only thing that drives your economic opinion is single news articles that prove next to nothing macroeconomically.

Trump could crap in your Corn Flakes and you would thank him.

until recently I've given Trump credit for NOT fucking up the market and economy.

Trump gave soybean farmers $16 BILLION DOLLARS paid for by American Taxpayers to offset the loss from his tariff - his tariff wont even pay for the interest on that 16 billion.

took a course in economics at Trump University didnt you Sparky -

Looks like no good news for us. From you link:

• The tariffs on Chinese goods are projected to have a "cost impact" on Home Depot's U.S. sales of about 2%, or $2 billion.
• The company's suppliers are moving some manufacturing to other countries, including Taiwan and Vietnam.

Does this look like the performance of a company that’s hurting from tariffs? You people wouldn’t know an economic signal if it stabbed you in your ass.

Right cause the stock is the best indicator of how they are doing. Funny. You notice the dow has been stagnant for about a year? MAGA!

Doesn't sound good to me:
Home Depot had also lowered its sales outlook for the year to be up about 2.3% and same-store sales to increase by about 4%. Previously it had called for total sales growth of 3.3% and same-store sales growth of 5%. Fadem said that the company mentioned the forecast was conservative because of uncertainty over how the tariffs will impact consumers.

If you look at the 1 year chart of the Dow versus the year to date, we can see that while the 12 month performance is running about even, the year to date is up 4000 points. By this time last year it had started to drop because of fear of how the steel tariffs were going to affect the economy. The market found that bottom and has been increasing since then because of the fact that the steel tariffs ARENT having the negative effect we were told they would have. And the last 6 months have been very positive and that’s what we see in the stock performance of Walmart and Home Depot- higher highs, lower lows, and new support. The markets are our best indicator of future economic activity because the smartest money has access to the best information before the average person.

And the dow is about where it was a year ago. That's not good.

Now the President is deciding where private businesses can operate?

No, you're watching the gleeful reorganization of the word "ordering." To President Trump, "ordering" may mean like ordering a pizza, ordering the doorman to let you in so you can get up to your hotel room, etc. The way the president is using this word is in the businesslike determination, not in a fascist way. Even so, it would probably be best for all concerned. And if the businessmen love America, they'll let China do business with somebody else than Americans.

This is how stupid you people are..

You think increased income taxes on business, that can and do get passed on to consumers, are amazing but somehow tariffs aren’t.. because the media tells you they aren’t. The real truth of the matter is you don’t have any fucking idea how good or bad they are. You need to rely on an actor to tell you what you know about tariffs. You people are the stupidest people on the planet. You’ve probably never uttered the phrase “yield curve” in your entire life until this past week. Like I said, we can revisit this discussion down the road when all this economic activity going on right now has had a chance to sink in and we’ll see where things are at. But right now the markets are saying you’re wrong. The steel tariffs have been in effect for a year now and the market didn’t crash, it regained its losses from the dip a year ago and broke a new resistance level in the process which is a bullish signal. But hey go ahead and think what you want. The market knows more than you do though, and it’s foolish to think otherwise.

Hate to tell you this bro, but I'm pretty well schooled in economics actually. And that's why I know nobody wins a trade war. If you knew any economics you would agree. Instead you just babble stupidly. When did I say taxes on business are great?

The steel tariffs are working?

Just a few days ago, U.S. Steel illustrated the industry’s problems when it idled a plant in Michigan, laying off about 200 workers. This follows the company’s announcement in July that it would also idle a plant in Gary, Indiana. The two moves will cut U.S Steel production by about 200,000 tons.


The industry is mothballing plants, laying off workers, eliminating jobs, dropping prices and taking a beating in the stock market. Since Trump imposed tariffs of 10-25 percent on steel and aluminum 16 months ago, steel has become a textbook example of the costs of protectionism.
