More devastating news for Trump/America. US Trade Deficit Widens, Capping One of Biggest Since 1960

[Codebreaker]

The US trade deficit widened in December, capping a turbulent year of erratic tariff policy.
The goods and services trade gap expanded from the prior month to $70.3 billion, Commerce Department data showed Thursday. The shortfall culminated in a full-year deficit of $901.5 billion, still one of the largest in data back to 1960.
The December deficit reflected a 3.6% increase in the value of imports. Exports of goods and services declined 1.7%. The median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of economists called for a $55.5 billion overall shortfall.
The trade data were notably volatile in 2025 on a month-to-month basis as US importers reacted to a persistent drumbeat of tariff announcements from President Donald Trump. Gold and pharmaceutical imports were particularly choppy as companies raced to beat higher duties.

I have.
I jump into the vix every once in a while usually only for a few hours, these big swings are always fun if you have the time to sit with it.

I love the VIXY 3x leveraged it's tough vehicle to hit, check out the charts mid April...the VIXY is also a terrific way to lose your shorts..quickly

You playing the VIX?


Honestly my portfolio is so boring now..mostly divided stocks water/power/ municipals with some tech/ medical and a few long shots.

I have always thought the mother of all Vix spikes comes on a bond/US dollar reset. But, with bozo in the WH any thing is possible.

Epstein is fun to tease MAGA'ts with, but it won't reset the US dollar. Iran sinking a US Aircraft carrier would be interesting. Obama unleashing an Alien invasion would work too.

I've been long the magnificent 7 for quite a while now. We are in a race with China, I am afraid we cannot win. Regardless, AI's potential to replace 90% of the human workforce is impressive.

However, as we all know potential gets coaches fired faster then anything else. Just ask John Harbaugh.

The Elites have chosen a soft default just as they did in the 1985 (The Plaza accords). A hard default like 1929 is to be avoided at all costs, they will not allow that mistake again. Those of us with hard assets like RE can sleep well at night regardless.
