I think there in more at play than dealing with Iran. I bet we and up controlling the flow of oil and us that a leverage against chimney and their control of most of the supply of rare earth minerals evening thing out a bit.

Also will help keeping the dollar as the world currency.

But that just a thought from a factory worker.

Obviously my statement was in very broad context, but for those of us that invest in the market and have well thought out plans of what to purchase.... and have been waiting for this selloff, that is exactly what he advocated for. Make your play on the fears of others as the prices will be lower. You can count yourself crazy if you dont think Buffet is planning his moves for this downturn. Hes not huddled up the corner crying or getting ready to jump off a roof....

Actually he’s retired

Hasn’t had much to do with the company for years

Actually, he has stated as recently as yesterday that he is still very involved with investment decisions even in retirement. I reckon folks like him cant just quit cold turkey.....

He’s the brand,,,

Of course their going to keep rolling him out

Sp, sounds like a little more than an occasional roll out. At any rate, not my intention to get in a whizzing match over investment philosophies. I always enjoy reading others ideas on here, including yours. I will, however, stick to Buffet's words of wisdom for those that are in a position to invest in these tumultuous times. When the rest are nervous, Im getting excited....

So did any buy anything and will this up tick continue ?

I was surprised to see thing go up a little.

I did nibble a little yesterday. Had some orders fill in tsm, jepq, and brk b. I was looking forward to seeing more fill as things keep dropping when I looked today and was disappointed. But there is always tomorrow.

Good rebound today..much to the chagrin of those with TDS

Sitting back on my gold I bought in 2020. Well what I didn't sell when it went to 5200. Sold enough to recoop my investment. Rest is for grand daughters. Don't care if it's 10,000 an oz or 500 bucks. I won't be here to worry about it. I got my money back........
BUY BUY BUY Then CRY CRY CRY.
All I hear is how much people lost last month. Nope they still have their initial investment, so they haven't lost a thing unless they sold at a lower rate than they bought.

That gurgling sound is the Idiotic Iran war sucking your economy down the toilet.

Ur thoughts and opions haven't been to good the last few years on wars. You should probably hold ur peace.

I am seldom if ever wrong and you know it.

Which year did u say the Ukraine/ Russia war would be over by the end of summer

The market is sensing that the war may be winding down from the administration's viewpoint. The most recent polls show the l owest approval ratings ever. He may want to try to bring that back along with doing things that the market likes. He is already stating that due to killing most of the high level leaders there is regime change in his mind and that may well be his back door way of claiming victory and descalating the war efforts. There will be fairly long term tails, but if there will be a slowing or a turn around the market will respond. What we don't know if the lagging job creation, inflation and lowering economic growth will cause the market to be very cautious.
Our gas prices rose 20 cents per gallon today, so the impacts may not have hit their high points yet. With spring coming the demand for fuel to till and plant 300 plus million acres will keep supplies really tight
Lots of petrol used in all the chemicals and making N fertilizers too.

Myself I have been looking forward to some dips. The markets have been over valued and dips are all just wealth building opportunities. Value on a screen goes up and down shares continuously increase along with value over time.

I one the birth right loto being born in the US to US parents. It must be tough to be in our shadow and in an in in significance country on the world stage.

Hear hear

You should stay out of wars,
Your trackrecord is not very good,I think the only one you ever won on your own was grenada,a island smaller than a trapline,lol.
your problem is your people dont have the stomach to see it thru when you start one.This one is a friggen disaster.
FYI Canucke have never lost a war.

Have u ever been in a war on your own and have you ever won a war that the USA hasn't also been in on?

Canada has never stood on their own feet and has very little military capabilities.

They have great people and soldiers but not the resources. And you never had to make it a priority since the US would not allow anyone to ever attack one of our neighbors.

Keep living in denial to fact. At least you finally stepped up and started meeting your nato defense spending obligations but only after Trum said meet them or we won't protect you.

So it takes a threat for you to keep your obligations your word means little to nothing. Even with your recent increase we spend 15 times more.

Markets will recover and blow past all time highs. In the morning you will still be a Canadian a subject that need a permission slip to own an air gun. Still in the US shadow. Fingers crossed some in your country will break away and get their independence.

Of course.
The French Canadians in lower Canada whipped you bad in the late 1700s and the English Canadians in Upper Canada sent you packing back south a bit later in the early 1800s.
You learned your lesson well and we will do it again when the time comes.
You barefoot hillbillies wouldnt last two days on the ground here in summer or winter.The blackflies would drive you insane and your toes would fall off in winter.
