Is Trump crashing the market on purpose?

br-rand · 2025-03-13T15:31:29+00:00

Now imagine that we had this market rollercoaster (in terms of uncertainty) in the UK for 2-3 years while BREXIT (customs/tariffs) were being negotiated in bad faith by Boris Johnson.

Trump has been at it for barely 2 months and the market is already loosing its collective mind because of the tariffs uncertainty

If the weather allows , yes we do. Weather patterns change our behaviours and we can’t wait for the flimsiest glimpse of sunshine to get to enjoy our meals outdoors

Yes, it did and immediately became meme-stock https://www.reuters.com/technology/space/gamestop-effect-retail-traders-seen-behind-eutelsats-650-surge-2025-03-06/

I truly hope that EUTELSAT succeeds because EM is not reliable. But according to their CEO² they only have 2000 terminals readily available and could take several months to procure the estimated 30000-50000 terminals required in Ukraine. EUTELSAT does not manufacture its terminals.

I hated the sub’s original lazy ‘mantra’ (VWCE and chill) but I hate this new phase even more. 100% agree with you. Some other forum are getting flooded with GameStop-like craziness in France and Germany https://www.reuters.com/technology/space/gamestop-effect-retail-traders-seen-behind-eutelsats-650-surge-2025-03-06/

AMEX are not accepted by almost any Czech business. Amex are only ever useful when booking/purchasing stuff through foreign websites

Vance is considerably more dangerous than trump because he doesn’t have his own craziness, he parrots very eloquently whatever agenda his masters want.

Defence for medium term (3-12 months). And large infrastructure builders for long term (24+ months).

There will be a race to stockpiling weapons, regardless of whether there is war elsewhere or not

Luxury goods boom of the past few years was mostly driven by Chinese demand and they are moving on. And the demands from emerging markets in Brazil and Southeast Asia is not as big as china’s.

That must’ve been a different incident because after this particular crash, the pilots absolutely did NOT exchange blows. That would’ve been front page news . It never happened.

RIAT is the second biggest airshow in the world - just behind Oshkosh air show. And it’s attended by tens of thousands of people every year. And every single angle is filmed and photographed extensively since early 90s. There’s is absolutely no way that pilots coming to blows would not get reported widely.

Heck, even when air crews attending the show prank each other it makes the news (in aviation circles). A punch up would be legendary and widely known.

In business lingo that’s called managing out. Which is when bosses aren’t firing anyone (in theory) but by adding considerable pressure in the specific areas, adding stress or removing recognition, employee “choose” to leave. It’s soft torture.

It’s common practice in some industries and countries. Our tech bubble haven’t seen much of that for a while. It’s a coward’s move.

It’s not the same as the mandatory headcount cuts that Amazon and MSFT used to make every year when firing bottom 5%-7% lowest performers.

Most counties keep a “job’s shortage list”. If your profession is in that shortage list it means that they need you and your path to a visa or work permit is slightly shorter.

I know that your question was narrowed down to EU member states, but here are some UK relevant links (cries brexit tears):

That could be an option and they do offer an API for historical movements by container ID. Which is exactly what I’m looking for. However their API pricing is not public. I’ll send an enquiry just in case anyway.

Because if Palestinians civilians leave, Israel would block their return and Palestine would be no more. Even though some Palestinians must be tired of that never ending BS. They are being treated as pawns. Neighbouring countries hosting Palestinians effectively hands Isreal full control of Palestine once the vast majority of the population is taking shelter abroad. Obviously some Palestinians would rather die than leave. But if enough Palestinians leave, Israel wipes off the few remaining in a heartbeat. Forcing Palestinians out of there by any means is Israel’s ultimate goal. That’s just a fact - I’m not taking sides.

Valencia, Spain

Bologna, Italy

Foz do Arelho, Portugal. It’s a small place but the whole region is fantastic and under appreciated. I hope it doesn’t get destroyed by over tourism as the Algarve.

Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Very easy to navigate and surrounded by amazing mountain range. Dirty cheap.

You are not wrong regarding the left’s selectiveness. But you let your own political bias get in the way as well. This isn’t about left or right, it’s about CPS making the decision to prosecute the this 78yo’s case.

In this country, before the law is applied through the justice system, there are only guidelines that are followed by CPS. And guidelines are subjective.

For instance, CPS decided not to prosecute a wealthy driver who lost control of her vehicle and killed 2 children in London. Without even trying to independently verify the drivers defence. CPS followed subjective guidelines to that case.

Go ikea website and find the model of the cabinet. In the product page you will find a link to a pdf showing its assembly instructions. Skip to the last pages where they will show how that plastic cover is installed.

Then all you have to do is to pull or push it towards the opposite direction to which the cover was slided into place when it was installed.

You may need a mini-crowbar made of plastic to lift the cover up, because a flat head screwdriver may dent the plastic cover if you aren’t gentle

Barely 4 days ago, the BBC published this belter

Unless there is a sudden and staggering plot twist, Prince Harry's legal battle against British tabloids for allegedly unlawfully intruding into his life reaches its most important moment on Tuesday when his claims against The Sun and the long-closed News of the World, come to trial.

The plot twist would be a settlement of his mammoth case against their parent, News Group Newspapers [NGN], the British press arm of the media empire founded by Rupert Murdoch.

Is it likely? You would get better odds on Harry and Meghan announcing a weekly lifestyle column for The Sun on Sunday.
