Thoughts on $WW? Any chance they will appeal the delisting? Seems to have a good chance for a short squeeze

StackedShadows_94

A 30% tariff isn't a win - it’s a tax on consumers disguised as foreign policy. That cost gets passed straight down the chain. Meanwhile, structural problems like layoffs, CRE defaults, and ballooning deficits haven’t gone anywhere -they’re just being buried under headlines. The market’s treating it like some post-WW2 boom, but the fundamentals don’t match the euphoria. This isn’t stimulus. It’s economic friction. And in that kind of turbulence, the move isn’t chasing speculative highs - it's owning real assets that don't rely on someone else's promise.

swissking

How likely is it what $WW would appeal the delisting and cause a short squeeze? Sounds like it would be in their interest to appeal, no?

I'm still waiting on Trump to start WW3 bit it seems we're gonna get more peace deals...

Maybe for some cheap oil to help gas prices go down 🤨 why do Libtards complain about anything but was completely fine letting a DEI walk us right into WW3

WebRepresentative158

They did same exact thing in 2016. The second Trump was declared winner in 2016, they predicted WW3 with Russia, a new Great Depression and so on. Yes, they did the same again recently. Trump even said himself not too long ago that the recent downturn in Stock Market was a perfect buying opportunity.

Its a Mango emoji, which is a reference to the nickname "Mango Mussolini" which is refering to Donald Trump's extremely thick makeup and comparing him to Italy's facist dictator from the 30-40s Benito Mussolini. Both to insult his competence as Italy performed poorly in WW2 and to insult the aforementioned makeup application.  Its several layers of internet reference deep.

Reddirots are always wrong. When it comes to Politics and world events. They thought WW3 would happen because of India/Pakistan This trade war was manufactured, any headline can still switch it in any direction.

Impacts of the following need to be priced in: 1) 10-30% tariffs on everything 2) shipping is going to be overloaded trying to get stuff in before tariffs might rise again, this will increase shipping cost 3) some companies have taken in a lot of inventory to minimize tariffs effect, but slowing economy may get them stuck financing that inventory for longer than expected. 4) WW3, only this time the US defense contractors will have trouble getting other nations to buy their stuff Key thing that the initial tariffs skirmish identified is the US weakness on rare earth elements. Check $TMC

Majority of people didnt buy a dip that lead to the biggest gain since WW2?? Do you at least understand how contradicting that is to say? How is 3 trillion dollars going back into the market not a good chunk of people... Considering the market should be 20% higher today if the president didnt do what he did. We are severely down.

SouthernRow2710

> My sister and her husband were going on about how evil Trump is at dinner yesterday The problem is that you're bad at stocks then. Electing Trunp ended the rules-based world order. For real. Poland is gonna get nukes, Germany is gonna get nukes, Canada has to get nukes (it's the only effective deterrent to this 51st state shit). We're going into global warming (a huge stressor) in the most militarized state the world has seen since WW2. your stocks aren't going to mean shit when we fight a world war in the next 20 years. People like you are the problem.

Handsaretide

Xi is a much more stable leader than Trump. It’s not enough that your patron superpower doesn’t invade you - they can’t start WW3 with anyone else over, say, Greenland.

That’s funny when we’re 3 years into republicans shoving themselves in Putin’s ass and crying that if you do anything against Russia it’ll be WW3. 

justforkinks0131

This is a previous comment I left which did not get a good reception. I hope people will see it more my way now: [https://www.reddit.com/r/StockMarket/comments/1kd8on7/comment/mq974er/?context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/StockMarket/comments/1kd8on7/comment/mq974er/?context=3) The market always, by default, wants to go up. Nothing matters. People WANT to make money. Everyone makes money if the market goes up. Basically you have to think of the market as a "weighed game", and it is maybe 90% in the favor of it going up, regardless of the news. Even when WW2 started, it "only" dipped 50%, (you'd expect a 90% drop due to loss of confidence, uncertainty and whatever). So technically even if WW3 were to break out tomorrow, you'd be surprised how well the market will take it. Because people want to make money.

Boca_Style8675309

Thais is why I hate the stock market. It makes people so extremely short sided. People want to demonize companies for focusing on short term gains but investors are just as bad. This trade tiff has completely transformed the global order. You won’t see it today or tomorrow but America has proven to be too unreliable to maintain order. That is a vast departure of us since the end of WW2. The old way is done and the new way is less friendly to us long term. We won’t be in a depression but we’ve damaged our long term economy preventing it from what it could’ve been

Seyon_

I personally wouldn't advocate going back to 1910s to 1930's expenditure rates lol. Social services were a cause of the initial uptick, but the big one was the WW2 and post WW2 military spending. But this is a big part where our views diverge a bit - While I think states should have some autonomy from the federal government, for things like regulation (work, environmental) the shots need to be called from the top (with input from states of course). Everyone should also have a safety net for when times get hard, either we need something like universal healthcare to decouple healthcare from our employers. I think we could still have a private option for 'enhanced' care, but we need some universal base line. This is generally too expensive to do at many state levels and since I don't want people in poorer states to suffer I think the fed managing it is generally a better idea. If we factor in the average premiums and the average OOP folks spend per year on healthcare we are as high, or higher than some of those more 'socialist' in spending. On your first point - yes there is fraud and abuse in the system for social services, but there have been plenty of studies showing that it would cost more to combat said fraud and abuse then it would save. Cutting personnel,cutting funding, and adding more requirements to be documented doesn't seem the best way to prevent fraud and abuse imo. (Requirements can be good, but with the first two it becomes more of a paperwork bottle neck)

Royal_Carpet_1263

The real problem swirling beneath the surface lies in the debt markets, and the status of treasuries as a ‘risk free’ asset, capable of anchoring prices for the whole. The belief that America will always be stable, prosperous, and true to its commitments has been rattled, and unlike equity investors, bond mavens are smart. They’ve read the Miran Manifesto, know that Trumps team wants to repeat the ‘screw the bondholder’ tactics they used to weasel out of their WW2 debt. And they doubt JPows resolve in the face of looming liquidity issues. Fiscal and monetary lack of confidence together rarely bodes well. Thus the EM action on what should be the most boring (because best capitalized) market in the world.

KiNg-MaK3R

I'm not sure how to explain this to people who haven't read any history, but if the 145% tariff stuck, that's basically an economic declaration of war. China's well being is very much linked to USA's continued consuming of their products. USA doesn't HAVE to buy China's stuff (we have plenty of domestic food production). But if all of a sudden, China's biggest customer stopped buy, it would be a huge problem, for the entire world. As long as tariffs sit under 60-70%, we'll all be OK. But make no mistake, that a very large extended tariff would be bad for the entire world and maybe it's not WW3, but it could be the beginning of one.

Me-Regarded

Soooo many ber thought economic collapse and WW3

Impossible_Fox7622

I think that’s probably true as well. The problem is that China has other markets nearby that it can use, and unfortunately Europa may start trying to trade more with China which is certainly not ideal. I also don’t know much about the Chinese market and I also don’t know how robust it is. However I do know that it has bought a lot of US debt. China, as far as I understand it, is propping up the American dollar. If they choose to divest the dollar collapses (I think, I’m no economist). My point is that China has other cards up its sleeve and other pressure point on the US. The US has also made itself very dependent on Chinese products (which was certainly not a good idea). Blanket tariffs now make the US look hostile to business and the US will necessarily have to become totally self-reliant because no one else will want to do business with such an unreliable trade partner. This is also especially harmful to decades-long alliances. The UK and the US have had a special relationship since WW2 and now that looks to be over. The benefit of having bilateral deals with other countries is that it bolsters the image of your country and makes you look trustworthy and dependable. It also creates alliances that are extremely useful in times of war. If the US is openly hostile to other former allies who would want to rush to its aid in the case of an attack?

Spagete_cu_branza

Did you know that during WW2 UsA some usa companies were trading with the nazis? This is not uncommon. If something is done better and more cheaply in another country, you will buy from them while you specialize in other trades. No country in the world is able to build every single thing in-house. It just doesn't work. Unless you want to be a jack of all trades but don't excel at nothing. Also how does this decoupling seem to work for you? Yesterday you put 30% tariffs, today you raise it up to 135% then you pause them, etc. This seems like chaos created so the oligarchs (which are in the oval office now) get more rich. Also if you are getting ready for a war with China, why are you threatening your allies? Not just threatening - straight up start an economic war with them. How is threatening to invade Canada or Greenland going to help you with the war? How is saying that you will sell "dumb down" military equipment to your nato allies going to help? All america is doing is isolating itself from the world while the olgachy is taking full control. But sure, feel free to "believe" that there is a great plan Trump is putting into action. Some people in Germany, if not the big majority believed that what Hitler was doing was for the good of the country.

Markets will react like we just avoided WW3, even though 30% tariffs will still be disastrous for consumers.

The word meme is from the 70s but the actual cultural phenomenon is really old. A famous one is [Killroy Was Here](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilroy_was_here) from WW2. You can even say that culture itself relies on memes (which is what Richard Dawson and many of the people who now study memes believe).

Few_Engineering4414

Sorry, but why do you think that? Protectionism’s heyday was the 19th century and before after WW I the US was the or at least among the most protectionist nations. Protectionism can be seen as economic nationalism, something normally seen in countries that otherwise couldn’t compete on the international market. But those can be one both sides of the political spectrum. If you are thinking about certain standards goods and their production have to fulfill, as seen in the EU for example, I wouldn’t count that as protectionism since the economical aspect is not the main focus there.

Wasn’t something like this attempted before with FDR and US Steel. As I recall SCOTUS shot it down. That was during WW2 when US Steel price gouged the government who was using them to make tanks

OkTry9715

No, but the longer current conflict will drag on, the higher the chance is. Russia is pretty successful in hybrid warfare and making pro-russian politician elected in neighboring countries to Ukraine. EU and NATO are doing exactly zero to stop it or counter it. The more countries will help Russia in its effort, the higher chance there is. If NATO, EU will be same inactive/extremely slowly acting as they are now, it will probably end up in WW3 or at least major conflict in EU.

To be fair, WW2 was very good

AppleTree98

Agreed. I got voted down because people are I think to black and white. The China dilemma has been going on for probably 50 years. Hence them never getting to participate in the ISS or other advanced studies. If you look at a map there are four distinct counties that have isolation like the USA. The others are Brazil, China and Australia. Four huge countries that likely will be part of the next WW. America and China have been allies in the past however I think this ends in hot conflict in 10-15 years. America is gasping and running out of steam and China is like the runner with his second and third wind still being contained. American leadership is doing everything to hobble China. I just don't know if we, America, have enough tricks left to suppress them at this point.

dzogchenism

Dude everything Trump has done benefits Russia and China. Sometimes stuff he does benefits both, sometimes one or the other. It’s not just from an economic perspective. I mean everything he is doing geopolitically and a ton of things domestically ultimately are good for Russia or China. Weakening NATO, starting trade wars, verbally attacking allies, cutting aid, gutting all kinds of domestic programs to monitor worker safety, corporate pollution, etc. Trump is literally dismantling the post WW2 world order, ending Pax Americana, breaking US hegemony and that is very very good for Russia and China.

killzone44

On your first point: Earning have been fine, even strong. But people and businesses stocking up to front run tariff's will do that, doesn't mean it will last. The guidance is where the issue is, many are withholding guidance. It's hard to justify capex when the tariff thing is here, there, nowhere. On your second point: I agree. Third point: Yes, even if fed cuts rates the GDP has dropped, tax revenues have slowed. Sure some more tariff money coming in, but prices can only flex so much before people don't buy or can't buy as much, and this makes a cycle that drives layoff's. That cycle also dries up revenue to service treasury debts, at same time that a large amount of the national debt needs to be rolled forward. Plus the outbreak of WW3. So foreign holders will demand higher interest rate for the following reasons regardless of Fed rate cut. 1) Less tax revenue coming in to service debt 2) expected lower growth rate to service debt 3) Growing entitlements due 4) to f\* with Trump admin 5) eventually the government will try to bail out the system, and that will eventually make inflation, and that will eventually make bond interest payments worth less.

No one seemed to care when Zelensky was capturing his own men and forcing them to fight at gun point. Tactics straight out of Bezukov's(sp? Russian General) playbook in WW2. I don't think things are as bad as everyone makes them out. Last time, Trump was in office. Every week, a new round of news articles came out claiming he was causing the end of the world in one way or another. Then, we had the best economy in decades and saw actual growth until globalists released covid in their first attempt at the great reset. Unlike the fake market growth under the Biden administration, which was nothing more than federal spending to prop up the market from 2022-2024 after redefining a recession, and making the market double in value in as much time!

it is called real economic power. We print the money and indirectly control the flow of oil, currency values and free trade across the world because we built that up ever since WW2 - when we had to protect the gold and the trade system, for Europe, and other allies. We allow Germany to dominate with cars, France handbags and shoes, France weapons, etc - and we trade all the ideals and freedoms that the world needs as the preeminent free country that is actually diverse and the 'we are the world' view that all countries want to aspire to, and especially their leaders want to be - but can't because of their cultures of protectionism.

TahiniInMyVeins

I understand anything “could” be possible. What IS it? Whining about China “cheating” and lying is childish and hypocritical. The President lies constantly and has shredded longstanding trade agreements, including agreements he himself engineered during his last term. It’s why our former friends are actively looking for ways to work around us moving forward. The US has been the center of the financial world for decades. The deck has been stacked in its favor for some 70s years at this point. It is absolutely wild to say we have been operating at some kind of “unfair” disadvantage when it is the US that has benefited more than any other country from a global world order the US itself has established and led since WW2. I don’t care about trade imbalances. They make stuff, we buy it. Sometimes we buy it as end-use consumers, sometimes we buy to make more, better stuff and sell it to someone else. Fixating on trade imbalances is like getting angry the grocery store didn’t buy anything from you last time you picked up eggs. The goals of all this are clear as mud and any one of them would have been pursued better than immediately implementing blanket tariffs across everyone. If the issue is China, target China. If the issue is domestic manufacturing, target specific industries and invest in domestic manufacturing gradually and in parallel. Don’t randomly tariff the goods and materials our own domestic industries will need to operate. It is being handled so badly, so poorly, it is difficult to believe anything the administration tries to say regarding goals since what they say keeps changing and what they do doesn’t serve any of it. China now seems to be on better terms with Japan, Korea, and the rest of Asia since this tariff nonsense. If anyone is working against the US politically right now, it seems to be the US.

History is history, what CCP has been doing is recent and recent enpugh to affect everyone of us. US on the other hand had been playing the world police role since after WW2, and imo, it's continuing to play that role, just with less tact

KissmySPAC

History is written by the winners. I'm not laying out a double standard. Im saying it depends on the side you are on. People in power can have mercy or be cruel for no reason. I don't think it's a black and white thing of bully or not bully. We can't look back at history as some gold age of purity where only good things were done like WW2. I think it's more about agreeing with the actions taken and the results. The US has been very disappointing since the 80s, and China has taken steps to become a stronger power. There are winners and losers in the US, just as there are in China. If anything this US admin should have shown you is that there is only power. Nothing else matters, so i dont blame countries for using it. I look at the results of the efforts and I can say that the US has come up short.

MayorMcBussin

I'm a little out of my depth here but it doesn't seem fair to compare the US stock market to post WW2, post-Nazi Germany. And with European and some Asian countries, the stock market returns don't matter as much because they have socialized heath care and retirement schemes. Here in America we rely on the stock market as our primary retirement plan. You don't need robust stock holdings in other countries because many of your basic expenses are covered or heavily subsidized like transportation, health care, and basic expenses.

SirDavidDAR

Was in high school at the time. Had 8 friends, EIGHT FRIENDS, all have their fathers un alive themselves so life insurance would pay out and feed there families. It was tragic. All worked in finance, when job was lost, retirement accounts were burned through in 8 months flat keeping food on table and lights on in the house, maxing out credit cards. The major problem is that in certain positions in the finance world, when you declare bankruptcy, you lose your license and can no longer work in industry. At the time, many of them lacked degrees, and work experience outside of the industry, coupled with the hiring freezes, they were entirely unemployable, barred from their industry, entirely out of money, and sadly believed they were out of options indefinitely. Many left notes explaining this to their family, and even more tragically many were stifled by insurance due to self done incident rather than accident. Absolutely horrifically tragic in my community. As for my story, my father was laid off, he was also in finance, he worked odd jobs, renovating apartments and doing whatever he could to supplement burning through his savings and maxing out credit cards, all to avoid filing bankruptcy, as it would have ended his career (again you lose license for life). Times were hard, I never got to play sports again due to their costs, missed out on a lot of childhood, but I had an Xbox so between that and odd jobs I worked that’s where all my time went. Lost friends and will never get that time back, many experiences most people have I lack, not travelled much, not done water sports at the lake, never been skiing or even seen snow, never got golf lessons etc. It has made being an adult difficult, a golf outing, a fishing trip, stepping on a boat, bowling, ice skating, etc I have had to learn to do as an adult and had many weird looks. As for my father, he never did have to file bankruptcy. He got back into an entry level position in the finance industry in 2012, a whole 4 years after his job was lost, he worked his way back up, and in 2016 got an offer bringing him back to where he was in 2008. In 2020, he finally got a promotion from where he was in 2008 a whopping 12 years later. In 2022 all debt was paid off and retirement has become a focus again while saving like mad. Although it has has a drastic life altering effect for some families, others actually came out on top. Less leveraged families, less affected careers were able to buy homes in cash at crazy low prices. To put it into perspective, the stock market actually fully recovered in a matter of months, however it took until late 2010 (about 2+ years) for unemployment to START to recover, with domestic GDP beginning to recover late 2011, and median household net worth beginning to recover in 2012. EVERYONE remains affected to this day by 2008, for better or for worse, either getting in to homes for cheap pre-recovery and pre-covid booms, often many flipping several for profit and upgrading or maintaining lifestyle while pulling in cash, while others will likely never retire, missed childhood events, and many children (millennials today) have stunted life experiences which you now see in the travel and materialism trends as they begin to recover. Many older millennials were forced to get graduate degrees as there were no jobs available at graduation, which has raised the number of degree holding job applicants as well as the level of degree held, which has in turn caused many industries to become highly competitive for employment. There are many other lasting effects due to 2008, and the root cause was not a one off. I directly link it to FDR’s New Deal where govt stimulus has forever since preceded economic growth, which led to banks creating extreme leverage as the middle man to govt stimulus and corporate liquidity. Take note, every president since except one, Reagan, has followed suit, yes every single one, has used govt stimulus to lead economic growth. This has created a loop where inflation is guaranteed, and collapse is also guaranteed, as they can not at all times remain solvent, govt can not stimulate economy at certain points without causing inflation even with yields and rates play. For example, covid. To further elaborate, FDR had little choice much like all predecessors, as this is all actually fallout of the global recovery efforts from WW1 and WW2. The more ya know. I’ll let anyone interested in that learn more on there own, but that’s been my communities experiences with 2008.

Reminder to not let your emotions get in the way and listen to the Reddit doomer bear. Most people on Reddit are under 25 with almost nothing in their portfolios. This sub is also recommended to everyone so the worst of the worst takes/opinions funnel in here. Always, always, always inverse the general consensus of this place. The markets have survived WW2, the Great Depression, numerous genocides, 9/11, COVID, 2008 etc. This is nothing. But the Reddit will say this is the worst thing ever. Let’s have a moment of silence to those who were on the sidelines and missed.

I think he is convinced that the rest of the world owes us for creating the prosperity we see in the world today. After saving the Allies during WW2, we rebuilt Europe, "liberated" the world from the Communists, opened up trade with China, pacified Japan, educated the world out our prestigious universities, etc. To Rump and the people who manage him, we are overdue for recompense, especially from our allies. That's why they seem so much more aggressive towards places like Canada and Denmark.
