Tuesdays are developing a reputation for up sessions but there is more to today’s session.
There are more signs the US consumer is alive, and not hiding under a rock. Redbook Index in the United States increased by 7.40 percent in the week ending April 19 of 2025 over the same week in the previous year.
The biggest gainer today is First Solar (FSLR) – spiking after the administration levied monster tariffs on solar products from southeast nations.
They say China has been circumventing the system and this is the only way to stop it – thoughts?

Solar Products Duties up to 3,521% |

All eyes on Tesla (TSLA) after the close. The stock has been crushed over the past couple of years heading into results, but it's so oversold now – maybe this bucks the trend.

| "They say China has been circumventing the system and this is the only way to stop it" For decades now we have seen our manufacturing dwindle and go away. I’m sure there are many reasons, but it is clear that China has done many things to hurt competing industries here and in other countries. With China now providing so many things that are necessary for our survival, including medicine and basic materials needed even for make ammunition, I don’t understand those that can’t make some small sacrifices in order to get back to making more of these items here in the US. The market seemed to be quite expensive anyway, so a downturn could easily have happened for any number of reasons other than increased tariffs. Stuart Morgan on 4/22/2025 2:22:32 PM |
