Tariff caused shortages

What essentials should I stock up on? Is toilet paper potentially an issue?

Get ahold of yourself man

Caviar prices are through the decks, me boys!

Could be a bumpy run when I try to get my monthly case of Louis Roederer Cristal Champagne Brut

I only buy American

Probably shoes, clothes, and any stuff similar that you would need sooner than later.  Do you guys think the containers will be a flowing by fall again?  If not, maybe that new winter jacket you need?

Also, a Nissan or Subaru if you had your eye on one of those specifically.  Sounds like they are removing assembly plants from US of A and moving them to Canada.

Based on what I've read from supply chain experts, if uncertainly lasts another month or two from now, there will definitely be major issues with back to school and holiday products.

So, probably not.

Our kids are going to be supply chain experts really quick if the Nintendo Switch 2 release is affected by all this BS.

i'm pretty sure trump will cave before the fall

That's a great list!

This one looks like a major red flag. Based on what I've read, products with low margins like these are especially vulnerable to shortages.

China's market share of US imports*     73.3%

Yeah toys are a big one. I'm pretty sure just about every tennis racket except Yonex is made in China too.

I have felt some urgency to buy new running shoes

Those probably won't be too bad as long as Vietnam stays at 10% or lower. I'd expect higher prices and shortages in select styles but not sure it will be disrupted too much.

Now if Vietnam goes back to 46%???

The Switch 2 is going to be the perfect storm.  I read the other day that they had something like 2.2 million more pre-orders than expected, that just the increased order volume made Nintendo concerned about being able to meet that order, and that article didn't state anything about tariffs or how rough ridin' stupid Donald Trump is. 

How many incels are going to change their political narrative based on the latest iteration of Zelda?

I've been on the fence about new couches, tariffheads should I grab one before they jump in price or is furniture not expected to be a big deal?

you should hurry if it isn't too late. I would guess Memorial Day sales will be the lower than they ever will be again.

I bought a new oled this weekend from nfm, untarriffed!

the biggest furniture chain in NYC is advertising "pre-tariff" sales

they will raise prices and won't lower them if tariffs go down.

Nope still good price . See investing thread regarding nfm pricing

I literally bought a car from a dealer last week because of the tariff threat.
