Clear solution for a country like Canada is to just pump up domestic demand a bit so that Canadians can afford to buy some of the Canadian products previously enjoyed by Americans. May also (if anything) soften CAD FX rate, helping exporters. Zero reason to accept 6.9% unemployment.

I have a hilarious idea for a country looking to pay down its foreign currency debt: build up some foreign currency reserves, trash talk your long duration foreign currency bonds—really lay into them—then buy them back for pennies on the dollar 😂 Call it the FAFO-YOLO method

With 2024 year being another boom year, my guess is that a lot of people who own stocks will owe money on Apr 15 that they didn't carefully plan for, and will sell to pay it. Maybe meme stocks especially (🧐Tesla), because people tend to YOLO into and out of them. Could add to the slide we're seeing.

Amazing how war clarifies the macrofinancial mind
FT on defence: “Unlike in … the green transition, it is not possible to “leverage” small amounts of public funding to get private finance to do the rest. Too much financial engineering will send an unmistakable signal of weakness.”
Sums up the failure of the green transition nonetheless.

Fun fact. Most common index funds include Tesla shares. Tesla is about 1-2% of the S&P 500. So if you want to neutralize your exposure to that toxic waste, you can short $10-20 of Tesla stock for every $1,000 of S&P 500 you own, for example. Make sure you understand margin.

Anyone telling you to "buy the dip" on Tesla is really just desperately asking you to cash them out. You are their exit liquidity. Don't be the useful idiot left holding the bag.

Every day, some sad losers make a concentrated spurt of leveraged buy orders on Tesla to try and create a bounce, hoping to convince people it's not crashing. Cut your losses, man. It's over. No one wants to own that hot garbage. It's still trading around $290, but it's worth $75 AT THE VERY MOST.

One neat thing is that you don't actually need to own Tesla stock in order to sell it. It's called shorting, and it requires $2,000 and a margin account (widely available). You lose money if it goes up and make money if it goes down.
