I honestly wonder if the market is higher now than it would be if the trade "war" never happened. Whenever it drops due to escalation, so far it has always come back and gone much further than where it was before. If people were really worried about it, the VIX would not be at 11 with record short positioning. Every time we get a trade optimism headline, the S&P rallies 0.5 - 1%...and it's done that A LOT. Plus it forced the Fed to do 3 rate cuts which likely have benefited stocks far more than whatever organic earnings growth was given up.
for those who complain about the trade war

TLDW lol. Who has attention span that long
Dude think this way. Obama didn’t fail nothing? Because he did nothing.
Take the red pill for a moment and read the long list of achievements of this president.
I’d pay the attention span to something if you are somewhat neutral about trump. Acknowledge the achievements and point out the flaws. That’s only fair right?
The never trumpets always come like here is a criminal (although never convicted of anything) mentally unstable and nothing but fails for 3 years. Come on. That kind of angle only proves one thing. The depth of brainwashing by the fake media.
The entire video is about the history of China, and how they capitalized on the chaos after the election and the pulling out of the TPP to make huge moves into the west. It is very well done, fair, and historically accurate.
Watch the video.
they didn't capitalize on shit... they did prior to Trump because previous admins didn't do nothing... again not just obama, Bush didn't do nothing either, the most damage happened after WTO2001.
I don't need to watch these things... I spend first 1/2 of my life there and I have very close ties and constant communication with people in many biz areas.
There are people who live in America who have no idea what the country does, your former residency does not confer intimate knowledge of the area. The two books the video is based on are The Perfect Dictatorship and The China Dream the former being written by a sociologist and the latter being written by a Chinese colonel Liu MingFu. If anyone was qualified to talk about the subject of the policy and doctrine of China I'd say those two people are it.
China's economic strategy is quiet intervention and they own parts of Australia, England (both after the TPP fall out), and a ton of Africa. They've moved into Vietnam, and own ports in key areas like Sri Lanka. If you actually care, you'd do well to at least pick up an audiobook of those two books. It's very frustrating to talk to someone who's identity is so attached to Trump that they won't even venture out into seeing what other people are saying. It's almost puritanical, the fear of straying from God is so strong they deliberately blind themselves.
Quiet intervention and all. Of course I know. Point is TPP is irrelevant. The damage came from joining the WTO and violating the rules without getting punished.
So here you are with a video trying to put some blame on trump due to the ‘TPP fall out’ if there is such a thing.
Then my question is. How do you know you are not the one with the closed mind? Have you thought about the possibility that with my 20+ years of living there plus current constant contact with China. Perhaps I am in a better position to judge what is real what is fake?
It seems your defense is "I lived there" so it's really hard to argue with you to review even the books I asked you to. Apparently living there confers upon you deep insights of the ideas and philosophy of the Chinese Communist Party and there's nothing more a sociologist and expert on the subject, or a Chinese colonel, could possibly add to your infinitely superior knowledge of China or the geopolitical ideals of their government.
I'm kind of done wasting posts here. It's not productive. You've come back 3 times now with "I lived there so I know more than anyone". Believe what you want. One of us will be right. Hopefully someone else comes by and watches the video and finds it useful.
Ok so I watched a few minutes. There is nothing that I didn’t already knew.
I hope god forbid someday your house catch fire and you don’t run into yourself when you call 911. Hello my house is on fire. Ok sir according to what I read in a book your house is fine. But I live here. Well but that doesn’t mean you know for sure your house is on fire.
That actually depends how you trade. I mostly pair trade automated and for that I have better lock with mean reversion if stocks don't get spooked by a silly tweet. I can see how shorter term traders will like this environment though.
right mister. I do day trading on various futures.
so various wars (exclude physical one) are good for us.
spread traders may / may not like it, depending on whether they are doing day or swing trading.
