Earnings growth is waning revenue growth is worse. Only so much u can squeeze. Y over y iPhone units down 17% but that’s ok because they sell music.

We are not China. We don’t publish a growth rate and everyone hits it.
 
There are probably a few countries that slow rolled trade deals until seeing what the Meuller report said. And now that it appears Trump is safe til 2020 the countries wont simmer for two years to see if Trump wins again.

So deals will be finalized.

Which will also mean Trump’s chances for reelection increase as well.

And 163k more jobs just added and unemployment down again to 3.6%.

“It’s the economy stupid”.

Dem presidential candidates keep bribing america by offering money, free college, free medical etc. but that wont matter.

Without the Russian and Mueller deal what do the Dems have?

If america didnt vote for Hillary. What makes anyone think they will vote for Biden?
 
After demolishing Trump on immigration for years now, saying he was racist and there was no "emergency" at the border, last night NBC ran a story on their national nightly news about how immigration was out of control and something needed to be done with bipartisan support......

My small Carolina's company grew by 21% last year and now we're up by 5% this year which I thought impossible. Truck drivers that I paid 13.00 per hour now making 16.00 in about three years time. I actually employ a guy that has to wear an ankle bracelet which I would never have considered before. Unemployment is the lowest since 1949 and African American unemployment is lowest ever! If you want to hide in your socialist bubble and criticize free market principles you're going to do it because you have bought an old lie that government can take better care of you than you can. Liberty!

Or, you're probably on the government teat.

You're only paying truck drivers 16 an hour? That's not even average for a truck driver to make.

No matter your political affiliation, at the end of the day you want people to have a chance to work and provide for their families. That opportunity is almost as high as it has ever been right now. TONS of jobs out there with lots of competition for employees to market themselves to the highest bidder. If people are too lazy to take advantage or don't want to work it isn't because of a lack of openings. It's because they just don't want to work. Social issues are just social issues. The economy and national security is the primary source of prosperity and both are pretty dang strong right now.

YIKES. At those wages you wont need to replace them with self driving vehicles.

Yes, we could get a melt-up. Followed by a melt-down.

Any deal would help China. They would not have to print gobs of money to grow. And we could export more intellectual property cheaper.
 
Thats about the same rate we are paying drivers. Non CDL local drivers driving duallies and pickup trucks. pretty good money with all the OT they get a week considering what the job is.

Another thing that nobody talks about with a tight labor market is how much better Employers (unless they are MORONS) have to treat the good employees they have. Sure, a tight labor market = higher wages. However, if you are like me and have several employees that are dependable and capable, you had best be paying and treating them well.

China is almost done. I had a call on it yesterday. To be a short. The tariff will stay at 10% for most products, China will close trade gap by $1 trillion over a few years
 
Why would this thread get moved? I understand it is OT but usually these are allowed to stay unless there are a ton of OT threads crowding the board which isn’t the case. The thread seems civil. What gives?

ummm, did you watch or read the story? the crisis was regarding Trump's treatment of immigrants at the border... kids dying in detention, kids being molested in detention, tent cities, etc.

My business is also crushing it. We are earning less and spending more, but we will just continue to borrow more money and it will all work itself out.

Agreed. Trump is a fan of federal intervention to help support negatives created from federal intervention in trade. Luckily everyone goes against trump so the fed will sit back and let the market work itself out. Im happy with us letting consumers take the hit, while China runs down their currency. (If you’re going to have a trade war you might as well win it.) That’s the opposite of Trumps logic so it’s what we get. Trump might end up wining this thing by accident lol.

Markets need some new highs before it crashes down.
