Trump touts record stocks as Fed, tariffs and passive investing draw debate

Merry Christmas to all, including the Radical Left Scum that is doing everything possible to destroy our Country, but are failing badly. We no longer have Open Borders, Men in Women’s Sports, Transgender for Everyone, or Weak Law Enforcement. What we do have is a Record Stock Market and 401K’s, Lowest Crime numbers in decades, No Inflation, and yesterday, a 4.3 GDP, two points better than expected. Tariffs have given us Trillions of Dollars in Growth and Prosperity, and the strongest National Security we have ever had. We are respected again, perhaps like never before. God Bless America!!! President DJT

Here’s an open secret on Wall Street: the reason investors pay attention to the Fed isn’t because the Fed has unique insight, it’s mostly just to understand how the Fed is going to screw it up next. There’s ~24k employees at the Fed & that’s easily 20k too many. Go back to a single mandate of stabilizing the U.S. dollar, period.

🚨 They Planned the 2020 Lockdowns to Secretly Bail Out the Banks With $6 Trillion Without Hyperinflation They didn’t lockdown the world because of a virus. They locked you down because the entire banking system was already on the brink of collapse. In September 2019 the REPO market exploded. Overnight lending rates spiked. Corporate loans and derivatives were quietly failing. There was no cash left in the repo market and in the system even through banks had Treasuries as collateral. The Federal Reserve was staring at a full-blown liquidity crisis that could have taken down major banks. Then, just weeks later, a “once-in-a-century” virus conveniently appears. By early 2020 the Fed starts pulling hundreds of billions out of the REPO market… right as the first cases hit U.S. soil. They shut down the entire economy. Why? Because if people stop spending, stop borrowing, and stop circulating money, the system can suddenly print $6 TRILLION and dump it straight into the banks without causing immediate hyperinflation. The lockdowns were a financial operation. While you were terrified of a virus and watching your business die, the biggest bailout in history was being executed behind closed doors. The timing wasn’t coincidence. The scale wasn’t accident. The narrative wasn’t organic. They needed you scared, isolated, and offline so they could quietly rescue the system that was already breaking in 2019. This wasn’t chaos. This was the plan. The famous City Of London banker @LordBelgrave already warned about how central banks, IMF and BIS have been planning the new monetary order. Oil shock? AI crisis? Cyberattacks? They’re already preparing for the next one.

We will all soon know what it feels like to be Jewish. In France, they already do. It will be our just deserts for having abandoned the Jews, ignored their warnings, turned against them, and even marched alongside their oppressors. For three years, you useful idiots have been parading Palestinian flags, sporting keffiyehs, screaming “From the River to the Sea”, and recognizing a fictitious Palestinian state as a reward for Hamas’s October 7 massacre (looking at you, @EmmanuelMacron). You have boycotted the only Jewish state in the world, vilified the Jewish people’s right to self-determination (aka “Zionism”), and spread the “Gaza genocide” blood libel. Did you really think that if you fed the crocodile enough Jewish flesh, it would eventually be satiated? All you have done is embolden the monster and whet its appetite. So you were worried about “colonization”? Look around. The only thing being colonized here are our own Western cities. The Palestinian flag has become a victory banner, proudly waved amid the ruins of looted and vandalized historic buildings—a symbol of hatred for our civilization and everything it stands for. It never ends with the Jews.

BREAKING: Trump’s Trade Genius Sparks Massive Stock Market Rebound In the heart of America’s economic resurgence, the stock market roared back to life today, April 8, 2025, opening with a thunderous buying trend. President Trump’s brilliant trade strategy; hammering out deals with nations scrambling to avoid his tariffs, lit the fuse, sending the Dow skyrocketing over 3%, the S&P 500 soaring 3.2%, and the Nasdaq leaping 3.6%. MAGA faithful knew this was coming; after a week of fake news driven panic, the market’s rebound proved Trump’s America First policies work. Wall Street, finally waking up to the winning playbook, piled in as businesses cheered the promise of fair trade.

This clip will go down in history: At 4:25 PM ET, S&P 500 futures were trading +1.7% higher. At 4:26 PM ET, Howard Lutnick handed a poster outlining "reciprocal tariffs" to President Trump. Stock market futures fell REAL-TIME as Trump read off tariffs name by name. By 4:42 PM ET, the S&P 500 erased over -$2 TRILLION in market cap. That's -$125 billion per minute.

Mexico & Canada did literally nothing to stop the Trump tariffs. The stock market stopped the tariffs as Wall Street always assumed it would. Everyone knew Trump couldn’t endure 1 full morning of stocks dropping.

Key Events This Week: 1. Fed Interest Rate Decision - Wednesday 2. Fed Chair Powell Press Conference - Wednesday 3. Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta Earnings - Wednesday 4. President Trump Meets President Xi - Thursday 5. Apple and Amazon Earnings - Thursday 6. ~20% of S&P 500 companies report earnings this week We have a huge week ahead.

In 2025, President Trump set the table for strong economic growth, strong job gains, and strong real income growth in 2026. The stock market lives in the future, and its historic performance is a signal from Wall Street that Main Street will soon harvest the rewards from @POTUS’ economic policies.

NEW: CNN anchor cuts off a guest mid-sentence as he praises Trump’s economic rebound—just to push the network’s official talking points. Liberal commentator Elliot Williams was in the middle of an unusual moment: giving Trump credit for a surging stock market. “The news out of the market is wonderful today,” he said. “I don't know where we are at the moment—we're not running a ticker. But you know, the DOW was up 1,000 points a little bit earlier in the day.” “It’s responding to—” That’s when CNN’s Kasie Hunt jumped in to stop him. “Actually here, let me jump in because we do have...our sort of.....‘reportable lines’ on this,” Hunt said, quickly shifting the tone. She rattled off the network’s framing: “The DOW, Nasdaq and S&P 500 posted the single biggest day gains since April 9th, which was the day that Trump PAUSED most reciprocal tariffs.” “As of today the DOW, Nasdaq and S&P 500 have erased the losses, SINCE Liberation Day.” Then she smirked: “My 401K, it’s been liberated. Liberation Day!” Instead of letting a rare positive moment for Trump stand on the network, CNN swooped in with pre-approved spin—and a dose of sarcasm.

Buffett, Active Investing and Index Funds... In 2008, Warren Buffett issued a challenge to the hedge fund industry, and a million-dollar bet was made. Buffett's position was that, including fees, costs and expenses, an S&P 500 index fund would outperform a hand-picked portfolio of hedge funds over 10 years. The bet pit two investing philosophies against each other: passive and active investing. Buffett picked the S&P500 Index. The hedge funders picked their actively managed funds. At the end of ten years, they looked back and Buffett won. A recent article in Bloomberg reinforces this point. Only one equity mutual fund, the $7.1B Baron Partners Fund, has outperformed the Invesco QQQ ETF (Nasdaq ETF) over the past 5, 10 and 15 years. Said differently, passively investing in the Nasdaq ETF exposed you to the gains of the best companies of this era without you having to do any work or diligence. All the best companies were part of the ETF. When one of those company lagged, their composition in the index fell or dropped all together. And when a company did well, their composition in the index would increase or they were added if they weren't part of it beforehand. Passive investing allowed the ETF manager to define simple rules and then do all the work for you. The companies it picked, because of its rigid rules, turned out to be far superior to those picked by active investors. So much so that only ONE fund (out of thousands) managed to beat the ETF. The lesson is that for most people, they will find that this is the superior method for investing in the stock market. Allocate some money (say each month) to a very low cost ETF and then let the ETF manager, natural selection and compounding do the rest.
