Trumpenomics

[LuFins Dad]

Gilead announced an $11B investment into new US manufacturing. Kraft is investing an additional $3 billion into new American manufacturing facilities. Carrier is investing $1 billion into a new factory, creating 4K jobs. The Dow is up roughly 3800 over last year. Not great, but not a disaster, either. It’s not all doom and gloom…

Too lazy to check, but:

1. How do those investments compare to normal corporate manufacturing expenditures?
2. How often are these announced investments actually realized?
3. The DOW is up 8% since this time last year, but down 4% since Trump took over (was down 15% but has bounced back after a few TACO Tuesdays)

You fail to catch the point.

Probably, I only read your last post and commented.

Mission accomplished. We can stop the tariffs now.

And that's just Tesla's.

Actually, I think it’s okay to buy Teslas again…

Trade deficit cut in half. What’s cut in half you might ask? The spike in trade deficit that was the result of companies racing to import before liberation day. Another headline could’ve said, trade deficit returns to what the average was during the Biden administration.

.1% CPI increase as opposed to the predicted .3%. Stock Futures jump, and Bond Rate drops…

I presume we can trust the data but at this point who knows what is being manipulated for the Dear Leader.

Hey! The S&P has finally returned to what it was on Inauguration Day, woohoo!
