  • It does make a difference. Let's say a thing you need about once a month to run your business was 10 dollars from China. You can get a similar product in the US, but it's 30 dollars. At 80%, it's still cheaper to get from China, 18 bucks. At 245%, it's now 24.50 to buy from China. Still cheaper than buying from the US, but now way more expensive.

    I know these are made up numbers, but it isn't that unusual for US made items to be 3-10x the price of making it in 'cheap labor' countries. Also, this assumes there is a comparative replacement made in the US. But many machine parts have no analog or are proprietary, you must buy it from China or end that part of your business.

  • Yea, but let's say you have a spouse and kids. You probably aren't going to the theater by yourself. Now you're buying 60+ in tickets, and probably 40+ in popcorn/soda if you have kids there.

    That being said, you could go on a discounted day and tell the family no snacks/soda. Then you're looking at 40ish bucks for a family of 4.

  • It has "returned to the mean" as far back as we can look. It doesn't mean a special year, but as best we can see, it will eventually return to that mean.

    It actually matters less to people just starting. At that point it's more about the number of stocks you buy than the value of them. The value matters later when you have a ton and your contributions are tiny compared to the actual swings.

    I've never been a waiter, I could start doing the job tomorrow, but it would still take a few weeks to get really good at it.
