To abruptly end them now would have serious ramifications for the US. Companies have committed billions to reshoring plants and equipment. The federal budget deficit is shrinking due to tariff revenue.
As of noon trading on Friday, the Dow Jones was up around 140 points, or 0.28 percent, while the Nasdaq increased by 1.12 percent, or 253 points, in that same time period. The S&P 500 increased 0.66 percent, or 45 points.
On Friday morning, a decision released by the Supreme Court's majority found that the U.S. Constitution "very clearly" gives Congress the power to impose taxes, which include tariffs.
"The Framers did not vest any part of the taxing power in the Executive Branch," Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the opinion, adding that the president "enjoys no inherent authority to impose tariffs during peacetime."
These small increases are reactions. The tariffs are already baked in. It won't affect the markets long term.
Justice Brett Kavanaugh said in his statementy that the Trump administration has alternate routes they can use to keep the tariffs in place. And the administration will use them.

I might buy some mining stocks next week tho.
I bought a bunch of Gold and silver mining stocks last year Lokmar.
Now they're all goin' up.
I just suggested WRLG to you, cuz it's cheap and has potential to the upside.
No sense in paying $100 per share for a stock than if you can get a penny stock that'll outperform it.
I bought some $100+ stocks and they've been some real duds,
High share prices are no indication of future performance, eh.

If you wanna good time, put on your highest stripper heels and grind them into josephines withered old bawlzak. You'll be in a good mood for the rest of the month, I promise! FACT!
lol.
Turns you on, eh Lokmar!
Hey...didja buy any WRLG like I advised ya to....Lokmar!?
That stock went up another 2^ or 2 cents today. It's up 40 cents since Jan 1.
It's still around $1 USD per share. But I bet it won't be fer long.
That's one of the best lowest risk deals trading on the stock market...Lokmar!
Quite possible that stock'll go 10x

- January 17, 2026, 02:17:49 PMIm a Flipper myself.
I usually give a stock or etf up to 3 months tops to perform.
And if they don't go up in value or go down, I sell them.
Ive come to the conclusion if you are a small investor then you should treat your stock portfolio like a a Country General Store.
Hang onto that which increases your net wealth. But sell that which underperforms. It actually costs you money to hold onto a poor performer just like the store owner who hangs onto inventory that doesn't sell and uses up store or shelf space.
Better to buy a stock that increases in value than one which doesn't instead
I sold Brookfield and Telus the other day for underperformance.
Can or fire them if they don't do well. An investor owes these corporations nothing, so don't worship them as such.

- January 17, 2026, 12:57:12 AMI almost bought a rare Gold coin for $2500 US.
But luckily, I decided to pull back & cancelled the order.
There's a point at which a hobby starts to become an addiction.
so thankfully I realized it had reached a boiling point and decided to STOP.
Actually what I learned is that anything can become an addiction and toxic even if it's perfectly legal.
The trick is to know when to quit and walk away from it.
It's been fun while it lasted.
However I decided to quit this habit.

APMEX said unprecedented order volumes tied to repeated record highs in gold and silver have pushed operational capacity to the point that it is instituting a $10,000 minimum order to "help keep volumes down and improve service levels," alongside broader fulfillment and product-availability controls.
In a customer letter, CEO Ken Lewis described the last two weeks as historic, citing multiple record highs for both metals and a surge in demand "unlike anything we've seen in years," driven by global uncertainty, inflation concerns, and renewed interest in hard assets, with inflows from both new customers and returning investors adjusting positions.
"This level of demand brings real challenges across the entire industry. Supply is tight, order volumes are elevated, and service channels are under pressure. Many firms are struggling to keep pace. In moments like these, the difference between providers becomes clear," he explained.

- January 03, 2026, 12:37:21 AMI know both work hard, dutifully pay their taxes which has allowed me to receive a generous pension from the Canadian government. And neither is eligible for a government pension for some time yet. Plus the retirement age might be raised & cut back by the time they retire so I am grateful.
