Global Markets Hit After China Devalues Yuan, Stops US Farm Imports

https://www.investopedia.com/china-d...arkets-4766635

Hey Whell! Remember when your hero told you trade wars were “easy to win”, and you were stupid enough to believe him? You must really feel like an idiot right now.

"The plunge arrived after China struck back against President Trump’s threat to levy further tariffs on Chinese goods in the ever-growing trade war, rattling investors and bringing global markets to their knees.
By afternoon it was official: All three major U.S. stock indexes were having their worst day of 2019. Trillions in wealth was in the process of being erased." WP

Spanky von Dumbfuqsky Trump at the helm. Thanks Repukes. Thanks a whole bunch.

Don't invest money you can't afford to lose in the market. Although the market is up about 10% for the year.

I don't like what debate teams do. Pretty much like boxing. Words are just a substitute for fists. The only actual meaning is the score.

You misunderstand much. It may be that I am opaque, it may be that you find it helpful to not understand, or it may be something else. But I see little chance of meaningful dialog, and I don't want to box.

Would you like some cheese to complement your whine?
