A successful trade deal could go someway toward calming
investors spooked by Trump's global tariffs. The post-Brexit
UK is hoping to secure a deal independent of its European
partners.
. . .
Yep - it CAN work out.
Trump isn't the Devil ... he's willing to reach
sane deals quickly. Just put in a LITTLE effort.

But google doesn't agree with me :-( Still, Trump flogs at the ball.)

I'd say it was a great success - freed them
from the commieauthoritarian EU rule.

The UK was financially fucked even BEFORE
the Brexit. Way too much 'socialism' and
BAD biz sense.

Except Wall Street isn't buying it. As per the Kobeissi Letter, they're
waiting on the sidelines and it is the small retail investors (eg, Mom &
Pops) who's "buying the dip":
[quote]
Individual investors have been net buyers of equities for 21 consecutive
weeks, the longest streak on record, according to BofA.
This is more than DOUBLE the previous records seen in 2021 and 2022.
Over the last 4 weeks, BofA’s private clients have purchased a record $2 >> BILLION of equities.
On the other hand, hedge funds have sold a record ~$1.5 billion.
At the same time, BofA’s institutional clients have dumped ~$2.7
billion, the second-largest amount in history.
This is a much larger divergence between retail and institutional
investors than during the 2022 bear market.
The Main Street and Wall Street divide is massive.

<https://x.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1920555552255459660>
TL;DR: institutions know another big drop is coming, and it will be
small investors who are going to be left holding the bag. Since their
timeline is far shorter, they'll be eventually forced to sell at a loss.
Even that's not going to work when the store shelves are empty in a
couple of months.
The dates I've seen are that the week of 12 May (next week) is when the
containers start to stop showing up and the supply chain distribution
(eg trucking) is 5-7 weeks, so my SWAG is that July 4th is roughly when
it will start to become more evident.
I've personally been making protective moves for awhile; transportation
& IT are mostly de-risked. Currently looking for 'oddballs' which are a
hassle to go without and are cheap to buffer (maybe pet food?).
AA and AAA batteries?

A possibility, but I don't go through that many of them anymore (plus
rechargeables), so a COSCTO 30 pack lasts a year or two.
Just got a new 4TB SSD delivered which will be replacing a 6-7 year old
one that's getting close to EOL; also got a new Canon EF-S 10mm-22mm at
$400 off of its MSRP...deliberating maybe another camera body/etc.
Probably the bigger concern are for durable appliances (washer/etc)
which we usually run to failure.
Mom's drying is making a bit of noise of late. They were already
pricey.

Are we back to zero deals?
The trade deal was to UK send expensive luxury cars duty free so
idjt's rich friends could still buy, but cars made in the US
still have to pay tariffs on all the imported parts and assembly.
This 'deal' did nothing except for the billionaire class.
Contemplate doing the research to find the appropriate parts, buy
them (and get a belt too, because why not) and then take a day &
take your time to pull it apart, clean out the trapped everywhere
lint and replace these wear items. Should be good for another
half decade or so (and hold onto the removed worn parts as
emergency repair parts): its what our forefathers who lived
through the Great Depression would've done.
