    Thanks, man. I don’t usually write long rants like this, but with all the crap going down right now, it’s messing with my head. I can’t help but literally vent.

    What Schizo said.

    Plus, many Americans seem totally oblivious to the fact that, while the US is a net importer of * *goods*, it's a net exporter of *services*.

    You stop buying the world's trinkets, they stop buying your high-value services.

    You'll have more job openings picking avocados, but fewer office jobs.

    Man, you all are going to get in shape :D :p (j/k, peace)

    Oh lookee, SPX down 11% and Shanghai up 3.5% past two months.
    SPX clobbered overnight, Shanghai hardly registered pain considering the carnage in US mkts.

    Good argument.

    Maybe bad timing.

    It's bounced quite a bit, indeed.

    (That's during their afterhours, though, we'll see on Monday - I have no dog in this fight)

    So, did China finally call Trump’s bluff? And now what? Will Trump “reciprocate” like he bragged about earlier, or was that just more tough talk with no follow-through? Only time will tell.
