equities will rebound when Trump shuts up. Maybe. Otoh, seems clear there are next level developments in the war on the near horizon - maybe over the weekend. Could be a lot of selling to avoid the "Trump weekend risk", which is now a thing.

Haha....these headlines. It is coming during a cabinet meeting. Was it said? Sure. Serious? Hmmm. Certainly in his head, but actually....who knows.

But when taken out of context like this, it is dangerous.

I was watching the live event. That's why I increasingly lack confidence in the "tweets" that come across regarding commentary. Was it what Trump said? Sure. But without context, there is often a different meaning perceived.

Of course, MY lack of confidence is irrelevant. Price action tells the "truth" (or the reality that matters anyway)

Not sure where the hostility comes from, but it's anonymous online chatter, so, I guess keep at it.

As for what he's telling you, you, nor I have any clue what the market will do. It's the same as great earnings > massive sell off in the stock. Price action points the way. Right now, it is decidedly down. No question there. At least until the next tweet about a deal having been made and another 250pt 5 min rip up in the /ES.

America has always been like this: thieves, invaders, terrorists,... Unfortunately, some fools still worship America. (They don't read history).
