Tariffs will stay in place for WEEKS????

This is an admission of a failed policy that never should have been implemented in the first place. Tariffs are temporary because now everyone realizes they were a stupid idea that will only cause economic turmoil and -- more importantly for the Administration -- political pain for Republicans. And what foreign country will now take them seriously if their staying power is weeks, and not years?

This is actually good news.

Dumbfuck old huckster is burning through his political capital like never seen before. It'll dawn on the political class that, yes, he is Dead Man Walking. This dawn is brightening every day.

Just 2 days ago Trump said his policies will never change, now its weeks. Imagine having a company outside of the US, then move everything back, spend billions on it...and then they would say tariffs are gone, sorry bro.

I posted while not logged in, so this may duplicate, BUT.....to be fair, this FF post is somewhat out of context. I won't defend the interview, because I can't stand when people don't answer the friggin questions.....but Lutnick didn't really say this of his own volition. Rather, he responded to someone else's comments, by stating "of COURSE the tariffs will be in in place for days or weeks."

I can't read the entire WSJ article as I am not a subscriber, so perhaps the article stated this as well, but for those who just read the FF snippet above, a deeper dive is worth it to avoid trading on partial news.

Full interview here for those interested. 11 minutes long.

The handwriting on the wall is starting to be seen more and more. Even co-POTUS Mush attacked tariffs at the end of the week. There are the first GOP politicos doing the same, to be followed by more, maybe. I don't think Trump will relinquish his fossilized view on tariffs though, and will have to be repudiated by a growing groundswell of the GOP and his base. Probably a nice Black Monday would make sense...let's see if the circuit breakers still work. Limit down @ -7%.

Sell off is almost over, gotta accumulate while we can. Another 20% sell off and we can talk about stabilizing. Watch for the bullish pennant.

nothing will bottom until the SEC bans shorting stock like they did briefly in 2008 and the CME raises margins by 50% or more...nobody cares what the rest of the world does just wall street lOL

In September 2008, the SEC, along with the U.K. Financial Services Authority, took temporary emergency action to prohibit short selling in financial companies.

keep shorting trumps stupid ass till they scam the rules again

For what it's worth, Lutnick and Trump have not been saying the same thing many times over the past few weeks. I think we all know where decisions are coming from in this administration. One would hope there is some consistency between messaging, but, obviously, that has not been the case thus far.

For a secretary to say that tariffs will be in place for weeks seems like an egregious miscalculation that will be overruled by a president who's trying to stand tough. Why on Earth would anybody bend if they thought tariffs would be gone in a week based on negotiations?

On one hand, I could see this statement reflecting the confidence in president 's capacity to make deals. On the other, I could see it as a huge misinterpretation or miscategorization of the actual premise. For example, what if Lutnik meant that the full amount of terrace would be in place for weeks before negotiations could be finalized? Similar to the information about 10% across the board. Tariffs being blown out of the water 5 minutes later by a foam board.

The bears are having their day in the Sun. I guess they earned it, but I did not think they should receive 6 months worth of gains in a few weeks (or even days). Seems a bit quick to me.

I'm watching the actual face the nation interview. This FF news post is somewhat out of context......The interview as a whole is rather comedic, BUT, the message was pretty clear: The tariffs are coming.

For those interested in the interview...11 minutes long.

Fairly confident this locks in the gap down at today's open for equities. And here I thought it was going to be a benign, no-bad-news type weekend, wishful thinking I guess.

For what its worth, the IG weekend market trading was posting a -86 pt open early this morning for the /nq. Now it's -318. Doesn't look good the initial print. BTC is also getting shellacked.
