1. It's good to know he finally gets "yippy" when the bond market dips

She's right about Russian style long term damage. Why would anyone want to invest in America with this nonsense going on daily

2. Stephanie Ruhle has come a long way.

Investors are looking for a way out of stocks, meaning hoping for a bounce, and that's why every UP day is followed by a down day. Growth securities are decimated, and that includes tech, chips, and mid-caps. Small caps generally have poor or no earnings, and are dependent on capital markets or debt for liquidity, they also in the tank. I feel like nothing is safe. Where do you go? Are FDIC and SIPC still in existence? Even blue chip cyclicals are pounded, I'm thinking of food - ConAgra, Kraft Heinz - and Walmart. If tariff policy is not ended quickly, we will suffer from this for 15 years. Supply chains, wages, workers, inflation, a soft legal system - we're doomed. I don't say this lightly. My advice continues, analyse the products you need repeatedly, consumables, and stockpile what you can afford. 3-5 years is not an inordinate precaution. They will either cost more, or be entirely unavailable at any price. Particularly obscure replacement parts.

3. She used to have a financial show on MSNBC along with Ali Velshi so she's emphasizing that advice now

And I certainly agree with you, thanks for the excellent analysis and advice!

4. Those food companies you mentioned are deeply involved in foreign trade both ways

so they are impacted hard by tariffs. Jim Cramer talked about how this tariff plan changes a lot of what we normally think of as low risk during normal downturns.

5. Thanks for the perspective, i now understand more!

They're not good for much here except hedging.
