SPY was up 1.5% on the day ... though it's just about where it was when last week ended.

If anyone is interested:

UDN tracks the inverse of the U.S. Dollar, unleveraged. They have a reasonable expense ratio and $140M+ AUM. Up net ~12% YTD

RYWDX does the same, but is leveraged 2x. They have relatively high expense ratio, however, since their leverage is provided by derivatives, and they are 1/100th the size with $1.4M AUM. Up net ~21% YTD

Lots of folks use "socialism" wrong. But this policy is literally the definition socialism - an economic and political system where the people collectively own or control the means of production.

So nicely done, Unk ... though you didn't need the word "corporate" as a modifier. It's plain, simple socialism.

My Polish inlaws are super angry.  They can't send packages right now to the grandkids in the USA because the tariff exemption for under $800 value ended and all of Europe stopped shipment of all parcels because no one knows how or what to assign a tariff to most of the items.

Right. We didn't drop all that money via the Marshall Plan only for them to badmouth us.

Add Germany, Spain, Australia, Austria, Denmark, Sweden and Italy to that list.

You know who isn't stopping postal service to America?  North Korea and Russia.  Those are real friends to America
