Oh just my own observation. 5.98 to be exact. I do the grocery shopping, and I buy eggs every week. Beef is outrageous by the way so Im not buying it. Stew meat was going for $8 a pound.

    Some quick thoughts on "Liberation Day," also known as "Liquidation Day." Obviously, these tariffs are way beyond anything the market expected. I think very little of Trump and the administration

I'm checking in with the official egg report. Prices have stayed the same since last week. Still $6 a dozen. So no, they are not coming down. 

Eggs near me dropped about forty cents to around $7 a dozen now Yay? :lol:

Yeah, I only shop at Giant. Not a big fan of Aldi based on my few times shopping there.

LOL - you poors look at the price of eggs. And buy your own groceries.

Feeding a family of four got very expensive. My grocery bill was cut by more than half by shopping there.

Kids are very very expensive. Private high school is more expensive than college.

Daycare is insane too.

Yep, family of four here as well. I try to be strategic with it. The nearest Aldi is such an annoyingly far drive for me. I've tried some of their stuff and it was very hit or miss.

It's gone up so fast. It was insane 10 years ago when I needed it. Talking to people with little ones now, it's doubled in price.

I doubt it's going to get better anytime soon.

Ok let's try to turn a negative into a positive. 

Give me your top 3 picks for who is best positioned to hold their ground and has the most upside when Vice President Trump leaves office.

I keep coming back to MSFT, GOOG, and AMZN

They just keep stacking up wins no matter what's happening in the world, which makes them feel like fairly safe value buys.

Honorable mention to NVDA, MDLZ, and DAL

But they seem more vulnerable to global turmoil and erratic government policy

Missed this but it got me curious. Do we have a stock thread? I tried searching but didn't find anything

I thought we had an investment thread a while back but that may be in WU proper.

A goddamn flank steak was $13/lb.

That's the store brand.

Varies by borrower. But we'll be somewhere around prime -0.75.
