TRUMP TARIFFS – What is Going On…

Excellent presentation and great advice. I am holding still and carrying on with my day-to-day without panic. Wisest advice received to date. Thank you CIAT; you're the best!

Trump has no plan….he has his own system of math.

You pronounced “Cheeto boy” / “tangerine toddler” wrong.

One of your best videos!! The explanations were really good. Thanks for making these!

I love how the tariffs and the tag line "elbows up" is what is in the mind of majority of Canadians and they seem to have completely forgotten the number the Liberals have done over the past 10 years and that Parliament has been porogued. "Two weeks ….." Was another tagline. The pause on the carbon tax shows that the government has been taxing us unnecessarily and they could have provded relief but chose not to until an emergency election. Canadians have been redirected like sheep. Again. "buy Canadian" yet the support for Canadians Rights & businesses were trampled on just few years ago abd the indigenous still dont have access to safe, clean water.

Thanks for the reassurance when it comes to investing but i really wish Canadians would wake up and realize that the relationships with our government is like a victims relationship with their abuser.
P.S Canada slapped 100% tariffs on China so the affordable EVs wont be so affordable for Canadians.

Rathwr than elbows up, how about "get out and vote"

Trumps been an absolute disaster

You can’t focus on analytics. The macro situation (Trump election campaign promise to tariff) then micro, (supply chain issues) then you can bottom up and top down any profit maker. Then and only then can you run the analytics, MACD, RSI, cash flow YoY…etc until you are blind….then you can set your forecast for puts and calls, short (if you are crazy) and long. I moved to 90% cash last June.

I wouldn't feel as bad losing $26k with over $400k in assets since I lost around that much while holding a considerably lower asset value. Totally agree with you though. I knew he'd be bad for retail investors.

Did you sell riocan?

Now April 8, 2025
The current price of TDCCP is $2.20
TDCCP In the future, the price will be $10, $100, or even higher.
A decline is the best opportunity to buy./。，

Ha! We are posting our townhouse for sale today and looking to buy a house. FML the timing is so bad, I’m LOL’ing at our choices, although these choices were made 18 months ago… god help us all.

Thank you! Really like your view and explanations.

Okay for one the tariffs will not be permanent. This is strictly a tactic to manipulate the markets down. Now you might ask why would Trump want the markets to capitulate? They want to attack the 10 year treasury yield. They need to refinance a sizeable portion of their debt 9 trillion I believe. The economic numbers came in pretty well therefore the only weapon they have against the 10 year is to dunk on the markets.
Once the 10 year yield is 3.5% or lower I will deploy all my cash and take out leverage and go all in. 🏦

HOW DARE HE TAX THE PENGUINS?!! 😢🤣

I feel I've learned more from you in 1/2 the video than I have in all of our news media in Ontario, Canada. Thank you so much!

I think this is willful sabotage to drive the 10 year lower.
I just don't see how they are going to make up the 6 trillion that's left the market with the 200 billion they are saving in interest. If that.

WHEN CANADA HAS TARIFFS = GOOD, But when Tariffs are put against them = BADDDDDD.

How did you feel about Mike Meyers being on SNL, taking over your role as a "Canadian in a T-Shirt?"

The US getting mad about their country spending more than others is ridiculous especially when you look at the population difference. US has close to 300 million people trading with countries like Canada and Madagascar 32 million population. It doesn't take a math genius to know why the US is buying more from others, when they got way more people to support.

I think he is just trying #1 to crash the market as much as possible via total pandemonium for himself and his friends and buy very fast before he says "Ok Let's remove all tariffs to just come back to what they were before Looking like he fixed something!! #2 Regular every day people are very upset with all the Job losses and losing their Pensions and investment, He will then reduce tariffs a bit and then say "look at all the jobs that are coming back because I did this and I did that" and I made the other countrys bend the knee to my incredible market manipulation." Look at how great I am!! 😭🤮🤮☹ And a lot of people will believe this unfortunately!! So 100,000 or 200,000 jobs we lost, he brings back 50,000 and he's a hero again.

watching trumps campaign speeches before and now after the election . Never did i get the impression he was smart and made sound financial decisions. he rambles about everything. Its to bad 1 person has so much power over the market and everyones future by simply uttering a few words of nonsense. If i had not watch several people in the financial sector , like Adrian etc i would have sold something. im just going to buckle down knowing that after every financial crisis the market continues to climb.

I Hit $22,590 today. Thank you for all the knowledge and nuggets had thrown my way over the last week. i started with 9k in last week now i just hit $22,590

Great video as always. Agree with you that the thought that this is part of a negotiation tactic is giving him way too much credit. He clearly does not have good intentions, as evidenced by the obvious deceit with what he is calling "reciprocal" tariffs. There's no question that this is ultimately some sort of grift to further enrich the ultra rich class at the expense of everyone else.

This is not a normal economic cycle though, so I'm less confident about the recovery. I'm genuinely concerned that this has permanently reshaped the global economy and that our investments may never fully recover.

Keep up the informative videos. your explanations are fantastic and so helpful.
