I have been thinking deep this couple days about the trade war this couple of days. I think Xi has made strategic error by not giving Trump concession on agriculture. Chinese have a saying "Do not force the dog to jump the wall". With nothing to lose now, Trump now has the excuse to ramp up the trade war against China all the way. Since it won't matter any more since China won't buy those agriculture products anyway. There are also great advantages in doing so. Ramping up tariffs to 25% across the board or even higher will cause US stocks to correct big time in the next couple of months, forcing the Fed to move it's hand in time for a huge rally come November 2020. During the entire period all the way to the elections, the US economy will do ok, ironically, since lowered interest rates will drive up the stock market and domestic consumption. With this episode, it's easy to predict the outcome of the trade war - Xi will not compromise and the US don't need to either if Xi doesn't compromise because the US will eventually just import from other Asian countries like it did before year 2000.

ironically, since lowered interest rates will drive up the stock market and domestic consumption. just look at Japan, its been 30+ years and counting... after the dust settled, the world would be split into two, Oceania (sea) and Eurasia (land mass)

Can a Silver Bullet stop Gold's rise? I’m clarifying for the people that are unsure why there was a price increase.
I made this chart in June 2016, 3 years later I've just updated the demise of the AUSSIE Dollar against GOLD. Why would anyone in their right mind save their wealth in PAPER or DIGITAL form instead of GOLD?
Agreed Just think, if you'd put 50c in the bank in 1966, you'd have 50c in the bank today. Had you invested 50c in silver instead you'd have $8.63 today. Leaving money in the bank is one of the worst things you could do with it. There's a valuable lesson to be learned from the 1966 50c coin.
Actually, with compound interest and inflation you'd have around $4.30 in the bank (minus fees!) There a valuable lesson to be learned from compound interest! I wish I'd taken note of it sooner!
