I sure would like to know who has been buying the dips right before Trump announces he has changed his mind and reverses a tariff. Seems like valuable information in the markets to know when he announces a tariff and when he’s going to rescind it.

Some perspective on DOGE and federal spending:
$6,750 billion: 2024 final spending
+$168 billlion: 2025 hike for mandatory programs
+$37 billion: 2025 hike for discretionary programs
+$71 billion: 2025 hike for interest costs
-$2 billion: 2025 true DOGE savings
=Net hike of $276 billion in 2025.

$39M+ has been earmarked to DOGE in Trump admin’s first month.
For perspective, in recent years Congress had allocated around $50M a year for the IT modernization initiative that DOGE supplanted.
Unclear what time frame DOGE's $39M is meant to cover
