so instead of Mag7 money going to small cap and mid cap stocks it's going to overseas stocks.

Good job Trump.

Im sure Trumpers will spin it how they may

Sleepy Joe was better at the economy and he was asleep at the wheel for 4 years.

Someone give Trump some ambien. Maybe the market will get back on track

---

Is spin needed? I didn't know it was Trump's job to instruct investors how to place their money. Moreover, the US markets are extremely overbought relative to overseas bourses and would fall regardless if who is in the White House.

---

mid cap and small cap were not overbought and were ripe for the taking.

My goodness if this was happening during sleepy joe's time in office....

funny thing is look who started the stock market crash of 2024 thread.

---

Mid cap and small cap are struggling with higher rates….and their valuations are still plenty high relative to their EPS. No matter, when the bigs collapse, the rest will go down with them.

---

yes rates that were coming down. Inflation was coming under control. Now thanks to Trump and his tariffs all that is out the window. Inflation is now goin the wrong direction and rates could go up instead.

Incoming Trump recession. Or get rid of the tariffs.

Recession has been underway for some time now and won't turn around overnight. The official inflation rate for January 2025 was 3% just for that month, that's anything but under control, particularly since they don't measure inflation honestly anymore like they did in 1979.

The latest madness that adds to the instrument bank of flashing red warning lights…..

Gold surged yet again to another all time high last night of $3,080. Something is very wrong out there in the world. In the meantime, I'm snapping up all the still-dirt cheap mining stocks I can afford. Even mighty Newmont is less than $50 a share and many promising juniors are still in penny stock territory. Not for much longer, I'll wager.

I'll give you one guess.

this week is a big make or break week for the market. It's either recovering from here or tanking much further from here.

It's inconceivable to me that a president would tank the market. But here we are on the doorsteps of what could be a disaster for many many many Americans. We'll see if it was "just a correction" as many of you said, or a sign of more losses to come as the market dynamics and sentiment is a 180 from last couple years. That will depend on the results of "Liberation Day"

Well, given this morning's near-$100 slide in gold, who knows? Trump promised to bring down prices, if we're heading into a depression, mission accomplished. Nobody ever said we'd like it, though. But it's all about how you're positioned to take advantage of, or be victimized by, the economy around you.

The last two days, the miners index has had double digit jumps. I don't think I've ever seen that before. Treasuries crashing at the same time as equities give the lie to the notion that bonds are a safe haven. Ditto with the illusion that is crypto. Seems that gold is the only safe haven at the moment, and money is flowing that way.

Gold crashed through $3300 an ounce, up over $70 just overnight. Something ugly this way comes? Or is it demand driven not so much by the ChiCom government but by the megamillions of Chinese citizens who now realize there's no safety anywhere except in gold. And of course, Chinese insurers have been given the greenlight to pile into gold, too. North American investors are just beginning to catch on. I've backed up the truck on gold miners while they're still a screaming bargain.
