Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's bell again.

So today, we're going to talk about Trump's market falling behind the rest of the world.

Before we get started, just a reminder that down below there will be a link for the fundraising effort to benefit Project Rebound

at California State University Northridge. It's a program that has produced incredibly great

results over the years, and we've been supporting them for a while. Check it out and help

formerly incarcerated people move forward. Because with Trumpian cuts

and freezes, stuff like this is going to become even more important. So, back on the 27th,

news broke that UBS had downgraded the U.S. stock market, which surprised Americans who had been

buying into the Trumpian line that the market was hot and that nobody in the world had seen

anything like this, or whatever other nonsense he's been spouting about the economic state. Reminder, the stock market

is not the economy. But comparatively, even the stock market isn't doing great. So here's a question.

On the other channel, you mentioned that the U.S. stock market had been downgraded by UBS.

I kind of expected a follow-up explaining why in more detail, but I know a war broke out.

I'm just wondering if we'll ever get a deeper explanation.

First, let's do a quick comparison of the performance of some world

markets so far this year. All of these numbers are from the beginning of the year until the

27th, which is when the news broke, and before Trump started a war that shook the markets.

The Niki, that's Japan, has gone up 13.5%. The Futsi 100, that's London, is up more than 9.5%.

The Shanghai Composite is up 3.47 percent, and the TSX Composite, Canada, is up 7.71%. The Stocks

Europe 600 is up more than 6%. What about the Dow? The Dow only went up a meager 1.23%.

Okay.

So there's a bunch of reasons UBS could have made this call, beyond Trump killed growth.
