Getting comfortable
I bought stock today (April 3, 2025) . . . may buy more tomorrow.
Money & Economics
- Thread starter bigredfish
- Start date
I inherited an IRA from my Dad that has a Municipal Bond making 7%, sadly I have to sell it soon because I have to drain the IRA within 10 years.
Good deal. If I was in my 30's 40's I would too. Though I dont think the "dip" is over quite yet.
But at 66 with 0 debt and money I dont even need making me 5% sitting there with no risk, is a very good feeling

This is the best description of what is supposed to happen with tariffs and the shift towards reducing slowing the increase of debt and looking outward for revenue vs raising taxes.
I’ll admit to only really comprehending about 1/2 of it. But the best in the finance industry seem to be in the same boat so there’s that
If you read her whole thread it kinda sorta makes sense…

Twitter / X .. looks like they are forcing people to sign up to read the threads
iirc either Scott Bessent or Howard Lutnick had previously written a piece which may have some insight to the recent White House moves .. don't recall if it was a piece in the economist or similar
too many pay walled places now a days
Here's the thread for those not on X :

Interesting Read ..
I do not see USA able to fully get the industrial base back into the USA
Europe will still see Russia as a greater threat to them than China, while the USA sees it the other way around.
I do not see how they can reconciliate this.
USA defense industry definitely getting a hit as USA has now proven beyond a doubt it is not a reliable supplier.
I suspect USA will lose more money from defense contracts now than it has spent on the Russo-Ukraine War.

Thanks for the unroll!
LOL well you're wild assed guesses are as good as mine I suppose.
I dont think anyone thinks we'll get ALL industrial base back. But some, many have already announced in just 2 days they are moving production here
Agreed, Europe will continue to try and provoke Russia into a bigger longer war. They have to, they're broke.
Agree, no short term reconciliation. China is our #1 competitor and "enemy"
USA Defense Ind will be just fine. Sold 2B of Patriot batterys to Poland just yesterday. But sure, others will prosper where the tariffs make enough difference.
LOL it will take some time to lose 200-300 $Billion in sales

The thing you are hearing about is 5 to 7 trillion dollars in new USA investments plus drill baby drill. One would expect that construction industry should see immediate need to put people to work if you streamline gubermint permitting and have shovel ready projects. The ability to manufacture domesticly clearing awaits completion of construction. Hopefully it begins soon. Very soon.
I also wonder how much of the sell off is simple profit taking acknowledging that the party is over…
Many, including me have been talking about the bubble popping for over a year.
No your company is NOT worth $800 per share and with reality setting in it’s a good time to say “ It was a good run, I’m cashing out”
S&P is still up close to 30% in 3 years..LOL
