Meh, most of them will have put their money in bonds and other guaranteed return vehicles by now.
As much as I wish this were true, the timing is perfect for them. They've sold their houses before the bubble burst and are now sitting on cash. The only thing that will screw them is inflation, which Trump is doing his best to prevent.

I've heard other people mention this. What is Trump doing that will prevent inflation, and how will it do that? From my understanding, going after economic changes, without fixing banking, will only serve as a bandaid solution.

Inflation is caused by creating new money, which can either be the Federal Reserve literally printing money and handing it out to people, as in 2020, or it can be banks extending more credit to people, artificially adding more money to the economy. Obviously, when interest rates are low, people are more likely to take out loans, which "creates money" in the second way, and they are less likely to put money into any kind of saving account since those won't bring significant returns with low interest rates, which limits the amount of money being restrained from being spent.
Trump and the Federal Reserve are seemingly tackling both these angles: they're avoiding handing out money to people (the DOGE stimulus checks are not going to happen; they know it would be inflationary), and they refuse to drop interest rates. Simultaneously, thousands of federal employees being laid off should actually depress consumer prices slightly which will be offset by the implementation of tariffs, which would hopefully also stimulate domestic industries to create good jobs for Americans. Maybe this is all a well-planned thread-the-needle effort to transform the economy long-term without hurting it much in the short-term. But there is going to be a lot of public pressure to engage in inflationary actions, like lowering interest rates, because people want things that feel good in the short term. I guess we'll see if they can resist this pressure and if their plans are actually successful.

I'm aware of that aspect, that low interest rates spur spending (economic growth) and depress saving (economic stagnation). However, Trump's policies are tanking the global economy (not necessarily a bad thing), which will lead to weak economies, and since (assuming Trump is being honest) Trump wants to improve the U.S. economy, wouldn't he want lower interest rates to improve the economy?
I'm absolutely fine (and advocate) for U.S. manufacturing to come back to the states, but my main criticism with how Trump is doing it is that it's too much too fast. It's taken us (the globalist jews) years to shift our manufacturing base overseas. It's going to take years to bring back manufacturing, and in the mean time all Trump is doing is just increasing prices on everything, which will exacerbate the problems of rampant inflation we're already seeing, where people can barely afford to eat and pay their bills. And, the next president that comes in can just undo everything Trump does, because most of the manufacturing plants won't be done before Trump's term ends.
Furthermore, the U.S. government operates at insane massive deficits, and that hasn't changed. The government hasn't been run off of taxation for a long while now. Taxation (or tariffs) can't fund the spending of the government. The government is being run off of money printing, usury, and fractional reserve banking. It's fake money from top to bottom. If that isn't fixed, nothing Trump does matters, because we're still going to see banks print infinity money, and we're still going to see inflation. If the economies tank, we'll definitely see less inflation (that we'd normally see otherwise), because reduced spending will reduce money circulation, which will reduce inflation, but we'll still see inflation necessarily because of the money printing.
This is what I don't see an answer to, and why I asked what I did above. It feels like there's something else going on that I can't quite put my finger on, and no one that's argued the pro tariff side (again, I don't necessarily disagree with it) has thus far adequately explained this.
Don't forget that the people in power regularly tank economies so they can destroy their competition (smaller businesses) and buy up assets on the cheap. They did this during Covid, and it was a several trillion dollar wealth transfer from the working poor/middle class to the rich. The laws helped push this, too, as they closed down small businesses while funneling people into larger businesses, which had the government on their side, and had the money to survive the economic downturn.
The tariffs shield us from price increases by foreign inflation, such as Estonia's 5% last year, by price-fixing the amount of cost allowed to be passed to the consumer we can avoid feeling the sting of Europe reeling from its own covid and immigration policies.
As some sort of X/millennial, if you diversify your shit everything's still peachy. Gold went up 50% so if you have the age-old recommended 10% of your portfolio in metals, the +1.5*.1 beats the -.05*.9 from the probably temporary decline. Also if you have spare cash, since the dollar strength is mediocre, you can throw more into your favorite stocks while they're on sale.

Yes, and I did make a killing since you left. I might be getting into this again before this correction ends. The big one will happen towards 2028. Disclaimer: this is not financial advice; do your own homework, and never trust kikes.

Fair point, but made it on what? Stocks? Giving money to kikes to buy up businesses and liquidate them?
My Dad keeps going on about how he wishes he'd invested in the company that owns my apartment building when he had the chance because they were paying 10% interest on $100,000.
But they're literal slumlords.
Is it worth making money if it means supporting the very people tearing down your own people?
At the end of the day they're going to do it unless someone physically stops them, any money the average pleb invests is negligible. The entire economy is fake, jews literally just print money and distribute to companies that hurt White people--if you can find a way to intercept a little bit of that money to help your family there's nothing wrong with that. Same reason I'm happy keeping my family on welfare; in a real economy it would be immoral, but in this fake jewish economy nothing you do really matters.
No, it obviously makes no sense giving money to jews or the government. I invest in stocks, and my strategy is very simple. See what the market cargo cult is pushing, don't invest in that. Instead invest on the suppliers to build these things. For example, if the market pushes AI, don't buy software AI stocks, buy hardware instead which is the infrastructure needed by all the different companies to run their crapware. Another strategy is to outsource your market research. Go to an investment bank or a pension fund, jewish businesses here are fine, remember you're the one jewing them kek. Say you have 500K to invest, and let them do their sales pitch. Ask questions to see what industries they invest, and go for their competitors. For instance, imagine they show you charts of how much they've made for their clients in green energy, you reply cool, and invest in oil not with them, but by yourself. If you go this route be careful to change your stories and names because these fuckers talk to each other. Another that I don't do personally, but lots of people make a ton is by following politicians and their families trades. Once you picked your stocks do the due diligence and read their financial statements just to make sure you're not buying junk, then sit on it, and watch for market cycles. Of you don't do anything else besides investing you should get into day trading, but that is beyond my scope.

If you have enough genetic diversity to keep the herd going forever, yes but most people will be isolated with 4-5 goats and no way out of cousin fucking freaks being born within a few generations.

I remember talking to a guy 2 years ago during a 401k) open enrollment period.
I looked at the performance of the 25 or so funds we had an option to invest in. Only 2 had a positive return since inception date.
Those 2 funds were down 15% YTD.
I told my team you’re safer just not investing.
“Well hopefully it’ll go back up. I’ll max out 6% anyways”
Literal retards
Sounds like your company does some sort of match. Depending on how much of a match they give, he could be effectively getting shares for half price, which would change the calculation a bit.
It seems that way at first. I don't need a 401k but it's just another thing to invest in. I watched the thing lose more and more money for a year before going to complete opposite direction.
As a zoomer I don't even think about a 401k, retirement plan, etc. I highly doubt the USD will even exist when I'm 65. Just give me my money now and I'll use it as best I can.
