Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

I'm holding strong, bet it will make most of it back up by May. If not, will mean short term additions are cheaper then they would otherwise be. Shame I had to put quite a bit in last month to use up my ISA.

have to break a few eggs to bake a cake, should make their economy stronger and more reliant in the long run.

and stop them ending up like the UK where we import seemingly everything and have no real industries making anything any more.

how much of things you see in the average high street shop is made in the UK?


Also Robots will be replacing people likely within the next 50 years.
what happens if theres no jobs to replace because they are all in China, Taiwan etc?

how does Universal Basic Income work when theres no jobs, and you have no industries to automate and get taxes from so you can pay people to not work?

Surely living standards are going to plummet in places like the UK as fewer jobs exist, and fewer taxes are generated.

Are we expecting people to work in data centres etc? Big news flash those massive datacentre buildings you might have driven past, likely have a skeleton crew of about 5 people on site.

they don't create jobs and no doubt automation won't create anywhere near the same amount of jobs as it makes extinct


We're heading for a future with far fewer jobs, more people than ever and seemingly only the USA is preparing for it.

Getting those industries back so they can be taxed in the future is now or never.

Even if there were logic to your post it's still doesn't make sense for Trump to just do it like this as a cliff edge, businesses would need years to onshore these supply chains and facilities to manufacture everything again.

they will never do it without being forced and he needs to ensure it happens in his term, before someone like biden reverses everything and lets the industries keep heading to third world countries.

also it probably starts a chain reaction, the more companies that move back to america the more likely others will want to.

It's probably going to suck for awhile, but would you really want to end up like the UK? where it feels like all our wealth is just sucked up by foreign companies?

There's no good time to do it, thats the problem. But since Europe/USA/Japan are all basically teetering on the edge of having to implement financial repression, all of this gives great cover to do it.

Will be a few more days for this to settle down. Counter tarriffs incoming no doubt and then a period of stand off, horse trading. NVDA, GOOG, MSFT, MAZN, AAPL all now trading at significant discounts to their prices over the last 12 months. All those stocks will need to attract money for the S&P to bounce back as they are such a chunk of the overall capitalisation. Could be a nice entry point for some.

I'm being crushed by a position I hold in GLEN. Took it out about 18 months ago thinking it was undervalued and mining, esp copper was going to boom . It's completely tanked and I'm 30% down! Mining is always cyclical but these tarriffs won't help any recovery and recession threats will pile on the pain. Another single stock lesson the hard way :(

You'll get your commodity super cycle, i wouldnt worry too much

Charted: Commodities vs Equity Valuations (1970–2023)

The commodities-to-equities ratio recently hit a 50-year low. In the past, when this ratio reached such levels, commodity supercycles began.

Picked up Intel and it just popped a nice bit, got some McDonalds which is still whethering the storm well and Rheinmetall also had a good day against the odds.

Picked up nVidia and Google and will buy more if they drop.
