JLN PRESS ROOM PICK OF THE WEEK

I'm never going to buy options again': Retail traders online are despairing over the impact of Trump's tariffs

There's no way to sugarcoat it. Retail traders online are in full-blown panic mode over the trade war.


Everyday investors took to social media on Thursday to commiserate over the impact of the president's latest tariffs, which tanked stocks on Thursday.


By 11:00 a.m. ET, the rout had deepened, with the S&P 500 down more than 4%, the Dow falling over 1,500 points, and the Nasdaq 100 falling over 5%. Bond yields also sank as investors flocked towards safe-haven assets, with the 10-year US Treasury yield declining as much as 18 basis points to its lowest level since October.
