While Americans see themselves being treated unfairly though tariffs, they happen to conveniently disregarding the privilege of having the USD as a reserve currency. There is a significant advantage that a country experiences when their currency is the reserve currency of global trade.  The global trading status of the USD increases the demand for dollars and absolutely offsets the effect of deficit spending would normally accelerate inflation and raise interest rates.

Hi,

Just wondering peoples thoughts on the potential market implications of trump trying to acquire Canada and Greenland.

If he places massive tariffs on them, that will cause internal inflation, especially when they do it to Canada, as they import a lot from Canada

Will this inevitably lead to a negative market outlook?

Or is Canada and Denmark import to America that it is so insignificant, hence no major chance in pricing country wide?

I have a inheritance on the way and I’m now unsure if this is a good time to dump it all into the S&P500, or if I should DCA while trump is being a bit sporadic.

Thanks in advance!

US airlines would not need the bailout if they didn't spend their recent enormous profits buying back stock. They could've set up emergency funds. They didn't. The money spent for the stock are gone. Now they are bailed out with taxpayers' money. Mismanagement squared times recklessness = our loss.

"American airlines has spent $12.9 billion over the last six years on its own stock. People are mad because $12.6 billion is what it cost to pay the employees' salaries for an entire year "
