Trump Retaliates With Tariffs On All Goods From China, Much At 30%

Investment Advisor Representative - Sitka Pacific Capital Management • Aug 24, 2019 at 12:00 AM EDT

In a major escalation of the trade war, Trump lashed out at China.

Market Reaction (Before the Above Tweets)

S&P 500: Down 75 Points, -2.6%
Nasdaq 100: Down 242 Points, -3.2%
DOW: Down 623 Points, -2.4%

Looking for Whom to Blame?

I can help.

The Dow is down 573 points perhaps on the news that Representative Seth Moulton, whoever that may be, has dropped out of the 2020 Presidential Race!

This is entirely related to Seth Moulton, "whoever that may be".

I almost forgot: "Thank you for your attention."
