Shares of Harley-Davidson Inc. HOG, -6.94% sank 2.7% in premarket trade Monday, after the motorcycle maker said the European Union tariffs on the company's motorcycles increased to 31% from 6%, and will increase the cost of the average motorcycle to the EU from the U.S. by about $2,200. The company said it won't raise its suggested retail prices or wholesale prices to dealers to cover the costs of the tariffs, because it believes passing on the tariff costs would have an "immediate and lasting detrimental impact" to its business in the region. Harley-Davidson expects the tariffs to cost about $30 million to $45 million for the rest of 2018, and could cost $90 million to $100 million on an annual basis. The company said it plans to shift production of EU-bound motorcycles to international facilities from U.S. facilities to avoid the tariff burden. That plan would involve increased investment and could take at least nine to 18 months to complete. The EU tariffs, effective June 22, were imposed in response to tariffs the U.S. imposed on steel and aluminum imports from the EU. Harley-Davidson's stock had dropped 13% year to date through Friday, while the S&P 500 SPX, -1.82% had gained 3%.

Harley Davidson was the first company to visit Trump's White House.

Since then, they've closed their Kansas City factory and moved more production overseas.

MAGA: Motorcycles Are Going Away

And yet GDP is up, unemployment is down, and wages are rising.

Love you guys trying to find and magnify any bad news.

Y'all sound like Bill Maher. That's not a good look, fyi.

In the past 45 years, only one president has inherited a better economy than Trump did. That was George W. Bush, who took office at the tail end of the tech bubble, when unemployment was a mere 4.2 percent. Trump has been luckier, though, in that his term didn't begin just as an economic expansion was ending. On the contrary, the slow and steady recovery that President Barack Obama kick-started with the stimulus has continued under Trump — just a little slower and a little steadier than before. Indeed, as you can see below, the economy added almost 3.5 million jobs in Obama's last 16 months in office, compared with just under 3 million jobs in Trump's first 16 months.

Lmfao!!!

Yeah, 2% GDP growth is great to inherit.

Btw, if Obama added so many jobs, care to explain how wages FELL during all that job creation?

And for the purposes here, I'll concede Obama added the numbers of jobs you claim.

Now explain how wages fell (outside of the 1%) during and despite all that job creation.

I'm all ears ....

Dow drops more than 300 points as investors brace for further Trump trade actions

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/25/us-s...investors.html

Stocks kicked off the week on a sour note Monday as Wall Street braced for more actions against Chinese companies by the Trump administration.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 328.09 points to close at 24,252.80, with Boeing and Intel among the biggest decliners in the index. The 30-stock index also closed below its 200-day moving average, a key technical level, for the first time since June 2016.

The Dow rebounded slightly in the final hour of trading after Peter Navarro, a top trade adviser to President Donald Trump, said on CNBC that investment restrictions against China and other countries are not immediately forthcoming and that the market was overreacting.

“He basically said ‘hey guys, it's Trump playing the ‘Art of the Deal’ with China,” said Scott Redler of T3Live.com.

The S&P 500 fell 1.4 percent to 2,717.07 as tech declined 2.3 percent. The Nasdaq composite pulled back 2.1 percent to close at 7,532.01 as Netflix dropped 6.5 percent to lead the FANGs lower.

Harley-Davidson shares fell about 6 percent after the company announced it will shift production of motorcycles headed for Europe to factories outside the U.S. The company sold nearly 40,000 bikes to the European Union, second only to the U.S.

“This is a case where you have widespread optimism and that leaves little room for error,” said Willie Delwiche, investment strategist at Baird. “It leads to a scenario where you sell first and ask questions later.”

We've now erased all stock gains since November, gas prices are higher than they've been in four years, and wages fell last quarter.

We've now erased all stock gains since November, gas prices are higher than they've been in four years, and wages fell last quarter.

Yet stocks are up since Trump took office, wages are up since he took office, and the President has nothing to do with gas prices.

Nice cherry picking though. A true master of your craft.
