      Oh, and the investors just love this sort of uncertainty… Well as long as they sold all of their stocks a few months ago, so that now they have plenty of cash to buy everything back at half the price.

        I trust you saw the spike in trading volume just before the tariffs were repealed? That’s was insider investors love.

          Hyperbole is a thing and a 20% dip is still yuge.
