Re: nattering nabobs of negativity...
Da bastads!
I think they reach into a bag and pull out the prescribed and sanctified talking point excuse of the day. An ant was run over by a stem roller in Bumfrick, Idaho whilst on its way to procure a potato for its families dinner. So utterly squished was the ant the market was thrown into abject chaos over the ants plight! That, ladies and gentlemen, is what caused the market to move today.
I usually don't listen to that crap but the "tariff" excuse was so pervasive you couldn't help from hearing it.
The only good to come off it...my bitcching about it drove the vaunted W. D. Scam from wherever it is he has been hiding for a cameo appearance here at the famed TFC Commodity Trading Forum.
