JS,

US v China Tariff War: You’ve got to look at the big picture. Yes, last month my IRA took a hit over 8 grand. I’m not upset. Other nations have been screwing the US literally to death. By that I mean we are so far in debt over all this trade crap, primarily started in the 90’s, that we may never see daylight again. Something needs to be done to make international trade fair. Reciprocal tariffs are the answer. I believe Rand Paul made the dumbass statement that tariffs are taxation without representation as a reason we should not use tariffs. Then why isn’t he whining about all the tariffs against us? Back to the IRA’s. Markets go up, markets go down. I’m not one of those panicky jerks that call my financial adviser everytime the IRA drops a nickel. I know some day losses will be recouped. And with Trump’s plan I see huge growth in the long term. We just have to wait it out and stop the pants wetting, pearl clutching and hand wringing.
