US tariffs paid by US consumers, Not for Long!

You completely missed my sarcasm in my responses.
Yes, no background, no voice inflection, no facial expression. Since you spend much time here, I assume there are some who know you and your outlook. However I am not one of them, as I only stop by occasionally.

Indeed, it takes time for infrequent members of a community to get the feel of frequent members of said community. El 85 knew something was awry, as you can see in his response.
 
I am on your side, but tariffs are paid by the importer. The increased cost is either passed on to the consumer, or comes off of the importers bottom line.

When Trump says China pays for tariffs, he could possibly be referring to a lower Chinese GDP.

That said, I believe President Clinton giving a freedom-hating Communist country "most favored nation" status was akin to treason (technically not treason).

Just want to clarify that tariffs are paid by the consumer if he buys Chinese goods. There are similar products made by other countries so, if you do not buy Chinese goods, you would not be paying any tariffs. Tariffs also, raise the cost of Chinese goods making similar goods made by other Asian countries cheaper and probably, of better quality too. As tariffs rise, the pressure on Chinese suppliers to eat the cost of the tariffs go up as well as Target just demanded of Chinese suppliers. In this case, those Chinese suppliers would eat the cost of the tariffs so, be paying US tariffs if they want to keep US companies ordering their products.
 
Trump is a fvckin moron

Trump tariffs are set to cost U.S. households $2,000 in 2020, research group finds

Tariffs are expected to cost American households more than $2,000 per year in 2020, according to a recent report from the National Foundation for American Policy (NFAP).

The Arlington-based nonprofit — which looked at the effect of tariffs on the overall economy and consumers — estimated that by the end of 2019, the trade duties imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump “will have cost the average household $1,315 over a two-year period.”

No it wont. It'll be worth it in the long run
 
They do have to haul it a long ways to Australia from the US or Mexico? You paid for the shipping? Maybe, plant an avocado tree in Australia so that, you do not have to buy it?
Grown locally in Australia with 77,000 tonnes produced last year. QLD is the major producing state with 47,000 tonnes harvested.
I have been growing some in buckets at home from seed and selling for $25 each. I find them a bit tricky to germinate but that's prolly because our location is near the sea, salt spray drift.
Here's one here. (The 3 buckets directly behind are pink guava which I germinated from seed - sold about 20 of them recently)
I buy cheap buckets for $1 ea, drill holes in bottom, they make good planters.

folks.. need to use logic for trading.

new high made in July, after the first round of tariff;
about to make new high soon, after the 2nd of tariff;

what is the market saying here? such an obvious answer if you can't get, might as well quit right now.

and by the way I have seen people yelling 'Trump is f moron'? please don't do this... you sound like DeNiro with middle school education and lose yourself all the street credit and basically are putting a MORON label on your own forehead.

Looks like you might have a hobby that might turn into a very lucrative business down the line!
And if avocados cost $2.00 each in Australia, you got a gold mine there!
