I did the same thing with the 529 Plans that I had opened up for my two great grandsons. I'm so tickled, it feels like a feather duster up my butt!!!

I really don't know how it feels, first hand. It's an old saying that my mom used to use. 
Trump isn't perfect and I don't agree with everything he does. But I don't fully agree with anybody. I do think he has our country going in the correct direction, and I am grateful for that.

I feel the same way, Granny. Trump does a lot of things that triggers my skepticism but he has surrounded himself with a solid team of experts and none of them have distanced themselves from his actions. Desperate times call for desperate actions and this country was teetering on the brink of disaster when Trump took office. I don't want any more ostriches, zombies, or traitors in the Whitehouse - and Biden checked all of those boxes.

MSN also forgetting to post articles of bunches of companies announcing investments totaling zillions of dollars to actually manufacture stuff in the USA. Heard Matt Jones, one of the dumbest people on Earth, say tariffs were dumb. He doesn't know anything about tariffs and can't even spell it. If tariffs are dumb why is every country on Earth charging us tariffs on our goods and we weren't charging them on theirs? Idiotic. He is proof what my dad told me long ago - there are all kinds of "educated" dumb people running around this country. The man has a law degree from Duke and doesn't know whether to sh!t or wind his wristwatch.

Oof. I'm as big a critic of Democrat economic policy as anyone, but you missed out on some major gains with that move (assuming you moved it from the S&P to T-bonds). If you're close to retirement though I can't say I would have blamed you.

You're right. The S&P 500 in 2023 and 2024 had gains of over 20%(both years were over 23% increases) in consecutive years for the first time in like 25 years. Biden had a lot of flaws, but the stock market flourished when he was President.

Markets rose despite Biden not because of him. Name one Dem policy that is pro-business and I'll hang up and listen. Spoiler alert, you can't.
Also everyone with sense knows inflation drives up the price of all assets including stocks. Inflation through the roof under Biden hurt 100x more people than stocks helped.

I was tasked with that when I retired a few years ago. Everybody looks for intelligence. I looked for work ethic and productivity. It wasn't an easy thing to do, but I found someone. She is every bit as good as I was, plus she is a computer wizard; which I am not!!! I retired with a clear conscience and proud of my choice.

I retired with a clear conscience and proud of my choice.That’s the problem I’ve been looking for work ethic and productivity and it’s like playing the lottery…. I’m no rocket scientist someone with average intelligence could do what I do but it sometimes requires travel and 14-16 hour days, you may have to sacrifice a Saturday…. This is something I worry about with Trumps agenda, I absolutely believe jobs in this country are gonna come roaring back, problem is how you gonna get the workers back that the government has paid to sit on their rear ends for the last 40 years?

Trump Tariffs Boost U.S. Manufacturers. | The National Pulse
PULSE POINTS:
❓What Happened: U.S. tariffs have led to increased demand for American-made goods as companies bring production back to the U.S. This boost has been felt especially among smaller manufacturers.
? Who’s Involved: President Donald J. Trump, U.S. manufacturers like Jergens Inc., Grand River Rubber & Plastics, SafeSource Direct, AccuRounds, Whirlpool, and Excel Dryer.
? Where & When: Various U.S. locations, including Ohio, Illinois, Massachusetts, and Michigan, over recent weeks.
? Key Quote: “We are swamped. We are running 24 hours a day, seven days a week in both Chicago and Cleveland,” said Jack Schron, president of Jergens Inc.
⚠️ Impact: Smaller U.S. manufacturers are experiencing increased demand and potential growth, as tariffs level the playing field against foreign competitors.
IN FULL:
President Donald J. Trump‘s administration continues to push for a resurgence in American manufacturing, with recent tariffs boosting demand for American-made goods. This shift particularly benefits smaller domestic manufacturers as more companies decide to onshore production.
“We are swamped. We are running 24 hours a day, seven days a week in both Chicago and Cleveland,” says Jack Schron, president of Jergens Inc. The company is known for producing heavy-duty power and industrial tools, including industrial screwdrivers, clamps, and hoists. Schron added that his facilities are “going like gangbusters” to meet demand.
In Ohio, Donny Chaplin, president of Grand River Rubber & Plastics, has observed a notable increase in inquiries and orders. Some former clients, who had previously switched to Chinese suppliers, are returning to Grand River for rubber gaskets. New business from oil filter manufacturers seeking to move away from China could potentially bring in $5 million annually, driving the need for expansion and additional hires.
The tariffs have become a vital lifeline for companies that emerged during the pandemic to produce personal protective equipment. Alan Rust, chief growth officer for SafeSource Direct, noted a significant rise in inquiries as new tariffs on Chinese rubber gloves have doubled prices, prompting businesses to seek alternative sources.
Massachusetts-based AccuRounds is experiencing a similar uptick, with employees working overtime to fulfill rising orders for steel components. CEO Michael Tamasi revealed a 20 percent increase in first-quarter sales compared to the previous year.
Whirlpool, a Michigan-based appliance manufacturer, is optimistic about the recent tariffs on imported appliances. CEO Marc Bitzer believes these measures will help close the price gap created by Asian competitors who benefit from cheaper components and steel.
