BREAKING: South Korea has stated it will not retaliate against U.S. tariffs, is seeking to negotiate a new trade agreement, and will not join China or Japan in efforts to counter the U.S. measures, according to CNN.

Wow...  what a week makes...   Just a week ago, remember that photo op of SK-Japan-Chicoms threatening a regional trade confed to counter US tariffs.

Warren. So Called experts are not actually  emotionally or psychologically fit to talk about stocks or the market on TV.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

11 AM CDT update-

VIX- 40.07
DOW- +2.51%
NASDAQ- +2.43%
Gold- $3016/ oz
Oil- $61.41/bbl

Main number I am watching today is VIX.  Hope we see a continued drop towards stability. (At least down to 20-25)  Because, only at that point will we be able to see where the market footing lies.

Holy.

Stocks have now turned red, with the main index losing 4.5% today.

Trillions were gained and lost again today.

It opened up green.

Now the main indexes are red.

DOW down 320.

From my view, I think Trump is taking the hard line, a little too far  with those who are trying to negotiate.  That's why there is red ink today.

Thing about Warren is that dude is actually rich. So him I'd trust.

Thing is, I wasn't referring to Warrens acumen in the SM, but rather the talking heads blabbering on ad nauseum about the doom and gloom.
