Something to consider. 

If China’s cheap labor hollows out a countries middle class by taking away manufacturing Jobs, and undercuts the value of Domestic products, why would another country choose that option ?  We have all seen the effects that the China model has done to the USA, who do you think will want to follow suit ? 

Do you think the EU will be on board with that?
 Is it a price worth paying for cheap goods?

 There’s a price to pay for cheap goods. Not sure other countries will want to pay it or can afford to pay it. 

Trump needs to slow walk any deal with China, make them feel the pain, civil unrest will be a big issue. So will the continued decline of their real estate market.

might take a minute but it’s gonna be interesting to see how it all shakes out.

Totally humiliated 🤣😅🤪🥱 you still think saying wiped out, used as a headline by most sites shows no knowledge of how markets worked inspite of their clear expertise in the finance and markets sphere. Im afraid youve still not backed that up you simpleton.

I was expecting some sort of argument but I see youve still got nothing. I suggest you pop back over to tik tok son thats about all your intellect or lack of can handle. Do come back when youve got something of importance to say. Maybe Pickle will be back then cos he/she/they are not me!

Another site for you this time the least woke and most right wing mainstream paper in the UK. Im going to be busy telling them all about your greater knowledge and how we all should bow down to you and rephrase all references to "Wiped Out" relating to your Orange faced demigod tanking the stock markets.

Most people don't go running to get  common sense, widely accepted and established laws changed over it though.

And as others have said "what's the threat"? Isn't one of their demands to use women's toilets? By that point they would've been in whatever place they were in for a while before? If they were going to actually get threatened it would be early doors, not when they decided to use the women's toilets?

Long haired hippies used to regularly get beaten up decades ago. They used to just crack on.

Nowadays blokes dressed as women, bleat on about threats that aren't even there.

Wiped out, you said, not wiped off.

The investments aren't 'wiped out', they are now worth about what they were a year ago. You could say that trillions were wiped off the value of the entire stock market, but that means nothing. Presumably the previous year's gain were, um, 'wiped on' 
 
Oh well thanks Surface clearly a complete misunderstanding of how markets works because in one sentence I used out and another I used off. Well I need to go back to Finance school and retake all all my accounting qualifications.

Just repeating the shit you wrote doesn't make it any better. And quoting some other cսnt that also deliberately uses the wrong word in order to over-sensationalise the position doesn't help you out either. Words have different meanings and they matter. The only other twat on here that uses his own private definitions of words at variance with general usage or their dictionary definition is H&P. But no, that couldn't possibly be, could it?

No 'investments' have  been 'wiped out'. Some investments may now only be what they were worth a year ago but, hey, 'markets can go down as well as up'. It's possible that some short-term speculators have taken a massive bath, but, a) again, hey, that's the risk you take and b) I couldn't really give a shit about them because (see a))
You claimed I didnt know how markets worked. When put on the spot you claimed it was because I said that Triilions were wiped out instead of Trillions were wiped off. Big deal you couldnt back up your claim and to trivialise it even more it turns out Stocks new outlets also use the very same word in their headlines.

Run along you simpleton - if youve got nothing to say stfu.

Go and Comment on the Joke thread leave the important chat to those that actually have something to say rather than picking tiny holes in other posters comments.

See ya numbnuts 👋

Ok, so you now know what a correction is. Glad I could educate you again.

I came on here and said when I made my investment changes, It’s on the thread, so yeah, I knew it was a buying opportunity, as did plenty of others which is why it has gone back up. When idiots like you were selling I was buying…. Thanks, I appreciate it!

Oh and there wi be more volatility and we will see more corrections, that’s how it works.

And as for “no good reason” I beg to differ, Supply chain issues cause inflation and national security issues have the USA reliant on China for pharmaceuticals, Rare earths and Steel. Two good reasons right there.

Then there’s the trade deficit and loss of US jobs. Two more good reasons.

Then there’s the threat of China becoming the dominant super power as well as all of the Intellectual property and technology they blatantly steal from the USA. More good reasons.

Im sure there are others too.

Again you are showing just what a fuckwit looks like!
Oh my god Nutsack .... so now you are saying that Trumps tarrifs were added to eliviate supply chain issues that cause inflation! You think whacking on a load of extra cost to US manufacturing is going to a) smooth the supply chain and b) make those goods cheaper! Tarrifs on their own do not solve trade deficits the size of the US - jeez what an idiot!

The US cant make those components cheaper than China adding tarrifs increases the cost whether you continue to import them or if/when you eventually can make them yourself.

Oh and pricing China and Ireland out of the US pharmaceutical market is really going to help how exactly? You think the US can manufacture your drug needs overnight?

I'll say again as you are such a simpleton we all know what a correction is and as I said I didnt sell I bought the dip. So yet again you are just so full of shit! Just like your mighty leader and his gang of cons and cronies. Good luck! your country is going to hell and you and your MAGA cretins are standing cheering watching them bleed it dry. 👏 Nice work!
Billy bought the dip lol!

I think people that read this thread will quite easily see that you had no idea what a correction is.
its in plain sight.

Im starting to feel sorry for you!
Well dont I bought a lot during covid some of which are now up 600% so I really dont care what little twerps like you think.

Trump's still mismanaging the US economy and each time the market dips I'll buy, but I still think he's a cսnt!

NY Attorney General Letitia James has been referred to the DOJ for mortgage fraud. You might remember her as she went all out to prosecute Trump before the election for commiting fraud for biz loans for overstating the value of his assets.

well apparently she purchased a home out of state as her primary residence to get a better rate, and the second offense she said her 5 unit property was a 4 unit property. Why is that significant, well in the USA Residential lending covers up to 4 units. A 5 unit property is a commercial loan. A completely different loan qualifying process, a much more detailed and expensive appraisal and a higher rate than residential lending.

If proven she is in a world of trouble. These are serious charges.

Funny how these Dems constantly accuse the Republicans of crimes that they are doing.
