Fox News Channel has apparently stopped running the crawl with the stock ticker. Do they think they can hide what's going on in the Wall Street world from their viewers? Think it's business as usual with the crawls on Fox Business.

Fox News doesn’t run an all day ticker ever

But it’s hilarious that CNN has their new Stock Market Covid death toll ticker 😂

Ticker was probably the wrong term. They do run major market update "bugs", especially after the final bell. They haven't been prominent lately. As if they are trying to downplay.

If this were to last months (talking about the uncertainty surrounding these tariffs), Trump will be in a heap of trouble. My thought is he'd better start negotiating, the sooner the better.

I don’t watch Fox Business, but I listen to Fox in the background and they talked about stocks being down in every show… and dedicate full segments to it

Neil Cavuto retired and his show used to follow the bell and was more into economics… so maybe u are talking about that when he used to be on?

That reminds me… Will Cain’s show is so much better than Cavuto’s show

IMO, Will Cain is one of the true lightweights on Fox. Cavuto's intellect and what he brought to the show is towering in comparison. But, Neil dared to speak out occasionally against Trump so ... he had to go. Just like Shep Smith and numerous others before him.

Cavuto went to St. Bonaventure University, which is where I started my own college career. I lasted one semester in Olean, which is in the middle of nowhere in the Western Tier of NY.

Cavuto's intellect enabled him to call New Mexico or Arizona - just as soon as the state polls closed.

Cavuto needs to move to CNN - Communist News Network - where Cavuto can be Cavuto.

Shep Smith was a flaming liberal - and couldn't handle the push back.

Since you and Cavuto went to the same school, some of this is starting to make sense.

If you want to see a school in the Middle of Nowhere - go visit Auburn. After dark cow tipping is the local favorite sport. Throwing toilet paper in the trees in the town center is the favorite method of celebration.

After all, they really don't use much toilet paper - they use corn cobs. Use a couple of yellow ones as you rotate them, and then use a white one to see if you need to use another yellow one.

Just having fun, brother - ignore the third sentence - just being a smartass - I got the itch and had to scratch it.

Cavuto was boring and if I had to bet, probably had one of the lowest rated shows on Fox. That's what happens when your ratings are ****... you go bye bye. Take a look at MSNBC and CNN hosts over the past year or two.

Meanwhile ...





One thing I like about Will Cain's show is he's been bringing on Dems and debating them and he's very seasoned in his debate style. He doesn't get emotional and just lays out the facts. He's working his way up to Dan Bongino's debate expertise

I've been to St Bonaventure once. You are right... middle of nowhere and seemed like the college was in the middle of the woods. Or maybe that was just the dorm that I stayed in. That was like 25 years ago though

Why would he be in a heap of trouble? With who?

Yall realize his base is NOT people who are invested in the markets, right?
And you know the people at the top of his admin have been banging the drum that they are serious about tariffs AND that they do not view the stock market as actually reflective of the economy. They have repeatedly been saying Main Street is their indicator. And Bessent has been saying they NEED the 10y demand to go up for our $7T refinancing

The actual number on the tariffs is fully open for negotiation. The fact that there are going to be tariffs seems foolish to believe is just a negotiation tactic. The truly interesting thing will be how they go about income tax cuts, and if they actually do what they promised and make it a cut for the "poor" and not the rich.

Imo the hope is definitely:
- Impose tariffs and have the ERS. Incentivizes Domestic Manufacturing
- Reduce Income tax. Incentivizes More people to enter the workforce and to work more.
- DOGE cuts $1T+. And we need them to massively overhaul the DoD, and stop treating them with kid gloves. DOGE is also tasked with bringing all Government Tech and accounting into the 21st century, which I believe will have a large impact on efficiency.
- They significantly cut on some dumb regulations to be very pro business, manufacturing, and energy generation
- Make Energy production (Nuclear, Solar, LNG, etc), Battery Cell and Mineral Production, and Chip manufacturing

Even if it all goes according to plan, I think the Stock market could be down for months for sure. Long-term I can see this being incredibly good for everyone though. Judging the success of this massive change based on the stock market reaction within a quarter is ******* dumb imo. The decisions shouldn't be made by short term thinking....
