This is Scott Becker with the Becker Private Equity and Business Podcast. Today's discussion, will the markets rebound next week? And this seems to be the thought or question that in everybody's mind, it's what we did is what we now find myself loving doing. We did a Twitter poll on this question and we've got so far 2,500 votes. It gives us a sense of where people are thinking.
So far, and I'll give you a lot of the comments in the poll in the background. So far, 40% people say the markets will rebound next week. 60% say no. I view Twitter as probably a little bit today with Elon Musk and everything else, maybe a little bit right centric. So if the results show 40, 60, maybe that's really 30, 70. So less likely to see it rebound next week.
Let me just go through some of the comments from people. One, give it about three weeks for all the new trade agreements to be publicized, and we'll see how that goes. If that does happen, if we do see a lot of trade agreements publicized, then we probably will see a rebound. Second, similar thought, the markets will rebound when new tariff agreements get signed.
Third comment, may not be next week, but they will rebound, then explode. Another comment, and I think speaks for a lot of us. God, I hope so.
mine is getting crushed meaning their holdings are getting crushed another person says give it a month another says we're heading into a full-blown depression let's hope not somebody else says not unless these tariffs get walked back i could see this decline going on for a while could be next year the change has to happen and there's a lot of people that have that those thoughts as well and i'll just give you another one
Anyone who thinks this is going to be a quick fix for decades of trade imbalances needs to wake up. And that's probably fascinating as well, because you have this situation where we have been running these horrible trade imbalances. We probably had to do something. But at the same time, this is scary for a lot of us. And so we'll see how it goes.
Another person says, and he calls himself the horrible semi-fascist, I think. If tariffs are so bad for an economy, why do 170 countries have tariffs on U.S. products? Perhaps try using some critical thinking instead of anti-Trump rhetoric. Another person says, huge bounce back Monday.
Again, not a scientific study, but what I get overall is people saying that we're not going to see a quick rebound yet, but at some point we'll see what happens. We'll see how it goes. What a fascinating thing to watch. You know, will the market rebound soon? I don't know. Got a bunch of different thoughts on it. Got a bunch of thoughts that think it was, that hate what Trump is doing.
A bunch of people that think it's about time he did it. The investors right now are not liking it, but we'll see how it goes. Thank you for listening to the Becker Private Equity and Business Podcast. Thank you.
