You were spun up about VWs and their foreign parts not reaching the shore as good news. The VW and Honda factories that supply parts to those American assembly lines will be greatly affected.

Stocks Surge as EU Ready to Negotiate on Tariffs; CCP Gets Ultimatum | Live With Josh
The stock market has begun to surge after days of record drops. This follows an announcement from the European Union that it’s ready to negotiate with the ...www.theepochtimes.com
yes...actually the volatility of the last several years has had me hold on and not move things. It appears most think this could last a month or another quarter. I would love to know when it is at its lowest to rollover. Earlier in the day the S&P/Nasdaq were slightly down to slightly up and so it looks like the bleeding has slowed down. We will see what the hit is tomorrow. If you are young with several years to compound, we may see the market on steroids in a year or two unless policies from midterm kill it. Also, if there is a chance in 4 years the dems could be in control due to the fickle nature of people, perhaps a rollover is good for you since we can expect the dems to spend and tax more in the future. The article should you read it helps put in perspective China and trade. The two most powerful economic powers in a trade war where it hurts China more than the USA. Interesting times...OOps I see it dropped a lot since my last check. I guess this quick drop was due to the tariffs tomorrow. We shall see what drop happens tomorrow since I think some of it took place today
Understood but the list posted by Katsniffer was based upon US origin parts, components, manufacturing, etc., and those were the top brands.
So Victor Davis Hanson asked a very pertinent question when he asked if tariffs are so damaging to all those countries that have or use them and have grown wealth...why is that so? It is as though there are elements not accounted for in play. His question is a very good , fundamental question that none of the links or views posted in this site answer and yet it actually strikes at the real issue and the one that is the most important.
I don't think blaming Dems for a stock market drop makes a lot of sense right now.
I had expected you to at least acknowledge Bob for his unprecedented run of 3.5 years with the dumbest post when you replaced him yesterday with your idiot BMW "logical progression" - but no, you didn't even have the decency to thank him for his countless rants and absurdities that served as examples for you as you honed your stupidity.
dinner is ready, but I can't recall anywhere saying the dems were responsible for the market today. I did reference their history takes such as tax and spend in 4 years. I'll try to read what I wrote again to have you type what you did in a few.
I read it again and not sure how you came up with me blaming the stock market drop on Dems. What did you think you read?
Well, if you can figure out the madness behind the dems on the whole, you are well ahead of most psychiatrists. I've tried not eating or sleeping and even tried watching the view and nothing seems to help me understand them. I suppose I could try some LSD and such, maybe wear some Nike shoes searching Heaven's Gate or even drink some Kool aid from Jim Jones, but the after effects of connecting with them is not worth it. BTW, Bob and Kat both said they were republicans in spite of their stances
If moved inside the USA screw insertion will be machine driven more than likely. What will also be interesting is to see what Mexico does, because I'm sure they would love the work from China...some of which was moved from Mexico. Hand size or dexterity in women make them most desireable for small, tedious work. Course the acidity level when a women was having a period created a few problems sometimes.
here's what I dont understand economically. Iphones cost maybe $100 to make max, despite all the hard work kit takes to make them. Yet retails for 800. So an American company makes $700 cool dollars just for branding, and we think we have the bad deal.
The US economy (with variations) consists of low unemployment, an educated, well-paid work force, and an inordinately high standard of living.
On the surface, and your info...it doesn't. Could it be a blanket coverage that is a mistake? Could it be the result of a certain commodity? Such a huge undertaking to correct some long term problems I imagine there will be things that seem odd. Possibly worth keeping an eye on...if you have that free time and interested.
According to Trump, the universe in which Australia has had a 20-year ban on the import of US beef. Should be an easy one to fix.
I have no idea how close your numbers are for Iphones. I seem to recall they sometimes are free with a two year contract. R&D costs for new technology are in play and of course any warranty with electronics typically has a bath tub shape with early failures...little change after and then an uptick as it gets older. Look at the pharmaceutical costs between brand and generic with the difference being research costs primary. Still, that won't explain all the gap in cost versus profit. All said we know that historically capitalism has always elevated more people's standards than socialism/communism.
you are trying so hard to make sense out of nonsense. Sometimes, nonsense is exactly what it is. Nonsense.
The part in bold is not directly accurate. The difference in price is not from research cost. The difference is because state-granted monopoly (drug patent) to sell drugs for a time period in order to help them recoup their research costs.
companies want to make money as do their investors. Always been this way. Are you saying you have a better way than free market to create a price? I'm unsure of your desires or if you are only stating that different levels inside the process get different profit margins? Also if the difference between brand and generic primary cost is not research, what is the primary cost difference?
I read it - a nice story about an Ecuadorian chocolate company that imports to the US. And it's a product that grows much better in their climate- cannot be replicated in the US.
I have lived overseas for a collective eight years and there are are ways to jimmy free trade without calling it a tariff. One is currency manipulation. When I was in the Philippines, the official exchange rate was one dollar = eight pesos. Now, a peso was actually worth a nickel on the black market.
My understanding is that excise taxes are applied to specific products, usually non-essential, whereas tariffs are applied to any goods from a particular country that are imported.
Not to mention we don't enough willing bodies to do all the manufacturing jobs trump says are coming back.
By bringing up costs to talk about price, it seems to me that you may be conflating demand and supply. The price of something is not directly dependent on cost to produce at all. It is simply dependent on what people will pay. cost to produce only matters to supply. If the price people want to pay is lower than what it costs you to produce, you simply don't produce.
I'm sure Baron will be working for the Trump Companies but persons of his age will be working on and managing Robots that do what the 14 year old Chinese girls are currently doing.
If those are the jobs that Chinese 14 year olds have, what jobs do Chinese adults have?
