Thankfully, I have an exceedingly generous trust fund and take a long term view of the world economy. 10 and 20% drops in stock prices are not uncommon and anyone invested should be expecting drops to happen and be prepared.

I have to assume the child will crash the market again and again but I also don't want to miss any rebounds.

The impact of this tariff thing is not just stock market fluctuations. There's the cost of living for everyone in every country. I don't see how anyone is not going to be affected at all.

Unless you are an ultra rich and friends with trump, you will be impacted by this.

I'm not sure but can I borrow JTs Crystal ball?

Do you think the people included in the poll derive their opinion on the content of this site? because that makes no sense. Being informed and understanding that economic chaos can affect you personally requires zero "faith" on something happening on the future, it just requires being interested in the international situation and having at least elementary understanding of how this can affect prices on good and services that you personally use.

virusrex,

Rhetorical question deserves no answers especially those designed with dubious motives.

This is not a rhetorical question, it is a perfectly valid question that would be very easy to answer if you had a point, instead it is clear there is no crystal ball involved nor the results of the poll depend in any way on this site. That you can't answer it means that you now recognize it was wrong to pretend it was the case for both. The dubious motive would be to misrepresent a perfectly rational response from informed people as if it was some kind of baseless prediction and that it dependent in any way on this site, just because you don't like the results and had no actual criticism about it.

16 rich people in here said no apparently.

-1 ( +0 / -1 )

It was an open question. Maybe some of the 'rich' people are not really rich but are not US citizens nor residents of japan?

0 ( +0 / -0 )

Yes, When you have an idiot at the wheel, brake checking semi's. It will effect me down the line give it a fews months before I will notice it in my pocket.

0 ( +0 / -0 )

The worse is yet to come,when bank collapse in a month or two,most bank operate at loss

-2 ( +0 / -2 )

I'm not worried as I am confident the LDP will look after everybody. No-one is going to starve. Japan is the only successful communist country.

-4 ( +0 / -4 )

No, because I am white, rich and corrupt as hell, and I consider anyone with less money than me to be expendable.

(That's the 本音 of most people)

-2 ( +0 / -2 )

I'm not old money like you, but I've managed to save about 200 million yen. Do you think that will be enough?
