    You know who you sound like?
    Two dudes with same brain, just different delusions.

    V-Man and Book-Hater are just two flavors of the same low-effort smoothie. One thinks markets can’t go down because "V go brrr," and the other thinks reading is a scam unless it’s got a grade attached.

    V-Man’s over here treating every correction like a minor inconvenience in his fairytale of eternal gains. “It bottomed, bro!” Sure it did—until liquidity evaporates and the Fed gets caught between a rock and a flaming dumpster of maturing debt. But nah, V-Man’s got that selective amnesia and a cartoon-level belief in market magic.

    It’s like if the market got rug-pulled, V-Man would still be mid-air yelling “see, told you we're bouncing!”

    It means exactly squid (cuttlefish's cousin :D)

    It's kind of a weird item to include, but...

    Actually it gets more complicated, because the US also *exports* squid to China (because it's cheaper to send it all the way there, clean it, and then bring it back, than to clean it in the US, which should tell people something about how well these tariffs are going to work :D) and this squid is exempt from tariffs, which of course leads to some shenanigans with the volume declared, etc.

    Remember that they probably fired most of federal workers doing rules of origin, etc.

    My wife thinks you're very smart. Seriously, I told her you had said this a couple of days ago, when she came to me with the news today :D

  7. I saw where the two chat bots were talking to each other on another thread providing weird advice.

  8. No, not really smart. The inside information buyers were brazen, they stood out like a turd in a fruit bowl!

    don't believe in anything, it is your money. i don't think the market is in any mood to go higher until bond is sorted. i want to know how much lunatic lost.

    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...trader-phillips-has-lost-140-million-in-april

    A bond trader at Tudor Investment Corp., Alexander Phillips, lost about $140 million in April amid the tariff-sown volatility, people familiar with the situation told Bloomberg News. He remains at the firm, working to recoup the losses. The firm manages $16 billion.

  10. V is going to say “I told you so!” Most of the open minded posters here knew Trump would walk back the tariffs after Liberation Day’s debacle.
