What happens to the value of cell phone paper if all of a sudden the US price for cell phones increases by 35%?

Matt Franko said...

ps: 35% in USD terms....

But how does the 99% benefit form this, instead of the 1% who do hold that paper, Matt?

Matt Franko said...

MRW, it is a scientific question not a political one...

And if any of that paper is in ERISA accounts then it is not the 1% who would benefit...

We have to consider what the effects of these tariffs would be if Trump is able to pass them...

Matt, if it's tariff, then a removal of that cash is from the real economy. No?
