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.
Thanks for the tip genius! So just to be clear Trillions were as I said wiped out! Have a read below and jog on you dick!

Ill let Market Watch know that the stock market had wiped off $9.6bn not wiped out! god what idiots!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))

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!

Nobody is saying that the correction wasn’t caused by Tarrifs, )although Trump did forewarn everyone that he was gonna place reciprocal Tarrifs on April 2nd plenty of times in March, so it wasn’t a surprise.)
But what we had was a Correction. Now stop showing yourself up!Ok good so you now admit that Trump caused the Correction and wiped out Trillions of dollars worth of investments - for no good reason!

'Trillions of dollars.. wiped out' is my favourite part.

Many of the goods hit with tariffs—like semiconductors, certain electronics, and low-cost manufactured goods (e.g., clothing, household items, etc.)—are made overseas because the U.S. simply doesn’t have the domestic infrastructure or cost efficiency to produce them at scale anymore.Still lapping up all that left wing propaganda I see Goose. Some people never learn. What you gonna say when the rust belt becomes the gold belt?Still avoiding the actual facts?
