The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"Prediction markets have revised the probability of the White House winning (and the tariffs being found constitutional) from 45% down to 30% in just half an hour."

Remember the old adage: The Market Hates Uncertainty ?
That sure does not seem to apply anymore.
Trump is 1 big obese orange-caked soiled-diaper wearing bundle of uncertainty,
but the Market has been chugging along. SPY up about 9% since Trump took office
in January.

I think the Market likes the corruption that they can benefit from due to Trump's
heavy hand, more than the Market dislikes the uncertainty of Tariffs.

The American Consumer is a whole different animal, though, I don't hear much
of anyone talk about liking the direction things appear to be heading
( other than the most faithful orange koolade drinkers ).

I hope the USSC throws the tariffs Trump has dumped on the American Consumer.
Throw it back in the hands of our do-nothing MAGA led Congress.

ps The Laziest Congress in American history,imo. How many days of
work has the MAGA-led House of Reps missed in 2025 ?? They skip work
more than Trump golfs.
