am 2 long (hkex) and 1 short (spy/qqq), and 1 long paper au/ag

it would be peculiar should they all go down, and should that happen, would mean either us$ goes up, and / or debt papers rise (interest rate drop)

I'm far from as certain as you apparently are, except on longer term physical au & ag insurance holdings. My trading philosopy is based mostly on futures and frequently high leverage, and that also requires unusually high certainty before I jump in... much like Buffet's quote about when the water recedes one finds out who doesn't have a swim suit on, and also Newton's First Law of Motion (" An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. (This law is often called "the law of inertia".) ").

As far as the recent tariffs noise, that's mostly about politics and that isn't exactly the sanest or quietest area on the planet. Although I do have many opinions in the area, I'm going to mostly STFU and let the shows proceed except in gun control areas where I'm already on record as not supporting extreme views on both sides.
