Wonder if Apple, Nike, etc. would relocate their factories in the US. Most of the products sold in the stores i.e. apparel, houseware, kitchenware, etc. are made in China. Regarding Auto products, it only takes this administration to flex their muscle w/Europe. India, etc. to "convince" them the right way to buy Trucks (F150, Superduty, etc.). Road in Europe are not a big deal, European countries can modify their roads so American Trucks can drive there. They can hire Michigan Construction Companies to pave their roads, they know how to do a "good' job every 2 years :-). It is time for this economy to flex their muscle in key areas allowing Big 2 to make $ oversees and get their commitment to start transferring production here. Moving a-s'y lines from MX or CA will take at least one year, since new equipment will be required and preparing the space requires time.
I would love to see Europe starting buying Superduty Trucks, tehy need to revamp their road system so "encourage" them by having to fit American Trucks downtown Rome, Paris, Madrid.

@f7+1jnpmtght - Exactly!
It's all noise right now as a very long term investor who is diversified in low cost index funds, buy and hold.
a8+1jnpmtght before you throw stones look at the democrats corruption. Just remember who was president and controlled the house and senate in 1992 when NAFTA was passed!!! Bill Clinton,, Democrats controlled both houses.. Look at the bank accounts of your senators who make $200k a year but leave office with millions..

Nancy Pelosi would like to have a talk with you.
Come one who cares
They are going to layoff with or without tariffs as an excuse.
Stop begging.Atleast tariffs will hurt the big check makers.

Spoken just like a simpleton. There are doers, and then there is everyone else.
Fentanyl and uncontrolled illegal immigration is destroying the United States.
@bk+1jnpmtght - LOL. It sounds like you are a billionaire. You’re doing so great I don’t even know why you waste your time on this site. Sure you can time the market once or twice, but no one has done consistently over 10, 20 years. WSJ and IBD have plenty of stories about that.
I do stocks, options, gold, treasuries… but never attempted to time the market.
People that have no idea about the stock market, are commenting on the stock market. You can take that however you want, and I don't mean any disrespect, but many individuals are the perfect candidates to fleece over. At least give yourself a fighting chance. It's worse than walking into a casino to play blackjack, not knowing the rules and probabilities that may allow you the opportunity to close the gap closer towards 50/50. Stocks can be much more unforgiving.
A high tide rises all boats. A low tide shows you who's not wearing trunks. Everyone makes money when times are great, but that doesn't mean they know what they're doing. When everything collapses, you identify those that don't know sh*t, and those that that do know.
This market has been running very hot for a long time. Second, if you don't chart read, utilizing pattern recognition, chart overlays, and indicators, then you have zero capability to identify any internal market conditions, and warning points. You are as blind as a bat. Most people will often run up a stock up, only to run it right back down. Why? Because they never learn how to get off the bus, and when to get back on after the plunge. These type of people are often susceptible to rug pulls or black swan events. Yes, black swan events can be anticipated. Not the event itself, but the market always has a tell.
IF, you had any capability within the stock market, you should have nailed a hefty profit just this month alone, playing certain types of stocks. Volatility and downward movements, have the opportunity to profit much faster than slow and gradual movements. I'm up 65% on the month alone. There's a dozen ways to the average person, why that doesn't seem possible.
Slow and gradual movement upwards, leads to confidence and contentment. This leads towards becoming unguarded in your portfolio. This lack of awareness, leads to a eventual grand fleecing, or rug pull should an event occur. There's a reason why financial advisors utilize a certain percentage for annual increases in the market. But, these averages never take in account the short term durations when the swans strike, at a time you may need to retire and time is no longer an option. It's not a solution, it's a projection over time. When you are out of time, you are out of luck.
Instead, learn to identify the market internals, and just avoid the nonsense instead. Opt out or take advantage of situations like you see today. You first need to learn how. No one cares more about your own money - than you. Learn to manage it.
Model e LL4+ leadership is putting the list together right now. The EV mandate is gone. Soon to will be the EV tax credit. Model e is losing billions already.
I have it on good authority Model e will be gutted by July. Good luck to you all.
I seriously doubt there will be cuts company-wide at Ford. Possibly targeted areas that are to be sunset in the future like Blue. But future Ford+ businesses (Model e, etc.) will be growing for some time to come.
Destroying the stock market? It's at levels from just about 4-5 months ago that also had record highs between now and then. It's still very overpriced. Tariffs are just the buzz macro economic factor at the moment.
It's easy to buy low and sell high when you have a lever which controls the market response.
1 month delay in tariffs should be plenty of time for us to relocate assembly plants inside the USA borders.
The rationale for tariffs was to stop fentanyl from entering from those countries, so they must have already solved that problem.
Trump and his cronies are making money hand over fist with his erratic behaviour. In his circle, it is erratic but all planned
I would like to ask the posters, how many of those employed in the auto sector support the presidents trade positions no matter how erratic?
Oh well. Guess that’s the risk you take when you ship jobs overseas.
I hope the stock market recovers soon
