Stock Market Losses Under Trump

[baddog]

Sure am glad none of y’all jumped out of windows. 2400 and rising.

[baddog]

Leveling off now. It does that.

[baddog]

Since most seem to want to deal, except China, a 90 day pause is in effect on some tariffs.

[baddog]

Right now, hovering at 2100. No words of encouragement from the haters? Typical

[baddog]

Watch what happens when the deals are hammered out with the 75 countries coming forward and our trade gets on an even keel. When China decides to equal trade, it will go through the roof. When there is nothing to cry about, the haters stay silent. So predictable.

It’s possible… it’s also just as likely he’ll do or say something tomorrow and give it all back.

Right now….2600. I’m happy for Trump and for America. Even though i no longer own stocks, a good market is good for all.

[baddog]

I say it closes at 2400.

You haters are like Jim Carrey in “Liar Liar” when his associate had her way with him and afterwards asked if he had had better and he said…….y-e-s. Couldn’t enjoy the moment…..

The Big news of the day wasn’t the Market. It was the slim passage of the budget framework—which sets up for ‘permanent’ tax reductions.

I also say again: For Trump’s big plan to bring manufacturing back to the U.S., we need an emphasis on building/training a skilled workforce. We don’t have the people anymore. Crafts, skills, & trades.

Let’s have some thought about incentives for people to go to trade schools like the $$$ the Ivy League schools get from the taxpayers. Redirect some of the funds going to the colleges now to some form of ‘accredited’ vocational training schools. Numbers I read are we’re already about a million skilled workers short.

Trump has to be doing that on purpose.....Gives the media something they can't ignore while passing legislation.....lol

Welp… I guess Trump learned a little bit about tariffs this week. 
 

Back to the drawing board.

He knows what he's doing.  It's called the Art Of The Deal.  He put a 90 day pause on those that are willing to deal.  But he didn't drop anything concerning China.  He said -- they'll deal!

An effective Department of Education would help steer schools towards a two tiered system putting emphasis on vocational skills training on equal footing with college skills training.

We don’t need a Dept. of Education. We need an effective incentive break for specific industries to partner with local community colleges—or training schools—to offer job specific training in the way the company wants their employees trained.

During training, the student is paid a certain wage, and is hired full time at normal starting wage/benefits after completion. Somewhat similar to old school apprenticeships when companies actually used to train their employees. Just do the basics beforehand, and use it as an ‘interview’ process.

Very little bureaucracy necessary. Industry knows what they need. Give them & the trainees what they need as far as incentives, and get outta the way. They’ll find the training partners like they do now.
