tsptalk's Market Talk - The stock market is brushing off the latest tariff talk and started the week on a positive note - trying to recover some of Friday's losses. The dollar is up but that is not holding the I-fund back this morning

James48843 Account Talk - Trade wars are just starting. We now have that 15% tariff on anything from China and 25% on steel and aluminum from ANY foreign country. Watch what that does to the price of anything made with steel or aluminum.

Buyouts to nearly all federal workers? - Bottom line up front- Trump is offering stuff that’s not legal. Yes, Congress can easily pass legislation to do give buyouts, or to offer “paid leave”. So far, they HAVE NOT authorized it, so nobody should expect it to happen. It’s just not legal.
