104% Tariff - What is the impact and how will it be resolved?

🌟🌟🌟In an escalation of US China trade tensions, US has imposed a massive 104% Tariff on Chinese goods to the US.  This has sparked further carnage in the Global stock markets. 

At this juncture, US and China are stuck in an impasse, with both sides unwilling to back down.  JPMorgan Analysts said that the rapid escalation with US tariffs on China were disruptive enough to push the global economy into a recession. 

In such scenario, no one wins. How will it be resolved? 

I believe that the American people should have a say as they are the ones most affected.    Billionaire Mark Cuban urged the public to stock pile on essentials at Walmart before the tariff price hikes occur.    

Thousands of Americans protested against Donald Trump and Elon Musk across the US in more than 1200 locations in all 50 states.s over the weekend.  According to Newsweek, Trump's approval rating has dropped to 46%, while 51% disapprove. 

While I cannot predict how and when  the latest tariff standoff will last, the stock markets have plunged to new lows at levels not seen since Covid 19. That means it offers an unprecedented opportunity to buy great stocks selling below their intrinsic value. 

As Warren Buffett likes to say "Every decade or so, dark clouds will fill the economic skies and they will briefly rain Gold.  When downpours of that sort occur, it is imperative that we rush outdoors carrying washtubs, not teaspoons." 

I believe that the time is NOW.

    第1-100步:教育美国公众,最终,他们将承担关税的经济负担,而不是进口商或销售商品的公司。这是一个不小的壮举,尤其是当像副总统这样有影响力的人物仍然持有过时的观点,比如认为大多数中国人是农民的时候。

      天真的特朗普可能没有意识到,如此高的关税正在伤害美国企业,尤其是小企业。

    Something to consider . The street hasn’t cut EPS estimates meaningfully . JP Morgan lowered their 2025 estimates from 270 to 250 . 5 year average PE is 19.9x and that provides a fair value of a tad under 5000. However with 10 year bond yield at 4.5%, SPX earnings yield of 4% at 5000 is just not attractive enough. Bottom line : Be very careful . The bear market can be quite prolonged.
