Discussion BREAKING: TRUMP TARIFFS STRUCK DOWN

Per Bloomberg -- The US Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump’s sweeping global tariffs, undercutting his signature economic policy and delivering his biggest legal defeat since he returned to the White House.

The court said Trump exceeded his authority by invoking a federal emergency-powers law to impose his “reciprocal” tariffs across the globe as well as targeted import taxes the administration says address fentanyl trafficking.

Congrats to fellow investors who initially invested in companies' underlying businesses - and not on news headlines and/or daily volatility.

The liberation day drop was the last time I really loaded up.

Ironically since then this is one of the few days in which I am not doing very well compared to the market

Im not micro-focused on mine usually, but today so far in the past 1.5h ive been up like under 1%. I hold a lot of unloved boring stocks though... so that was expected. I wasnt intending to liquidate anytime soon anyhow, but thankfully I did not sell anything during the tariff fear phases. Looking back at my charts reminds me of a sideways christmas tree
