Why do you think they all donated and manipulated the media to get Trump elected despite being smart enough to know he would be disastrous for the country and rich and powerful enough to manipulate the election the other way? He promised to get them in on the grift and they knew they could personally make more money off corruption than they could in a stable country with a healthy economy.

Yes, but then where do they go for stability? What’s the point if college time all this money if there’s no safe place to spend it or put it?

The analysts are as stupid as the Executive.

Goldman Sachs? They probably went to the same business school as Trump!

They did.

This is funny. The whole world is in debt? To whom? Maybe it’s time to wipe out everyone’s finances and start anew.

Greed greed greed greed. That's all it's about. Greed and more greed. We want up up up up and up..So any statement that will take us back to the upward trend the market reacts because it's participants are incredibly greedy.

“Today’s drama in the markets shows that the Bank of England should “sit tight” rather than react rapidly to events in the Middle East, says Professor Costas Milas, of the University of Liverpool’s management school.

Prof Milas tells us:

Trump’s predictably unpredictable post is puzzling. Having repeatedly stated that there is nobody to negotiate with, now Trump reveals that negotiations have taken place. All this creates large swings in financial markets and notably so in market expectations of UK interest rates. At the start of the war, money markets predicted no interest rate changes.”

A voice of reason!
I don’t know why anyone thinks trump can tell the truth.

Guess what? He lied.

“Iranian media deny that negotiations have taken place... it takes two to TACO
Iran’s Fars news agency has quoted a source as saying there has been “no direct or indirect connection” between Iran and Donald Trump, in contradiction to the US president’s statement.

Citing an unnamed source, Fars said Trump had retreated after hearing that Iran would respond by attacking all power plants in the region.

This has punctured some of the optimism in the markets.”

Oil already up again.

The goal is to manipulate the market in the short time and it works. For how long? We don't know.

Well the thing is, it will either be proven correct, or actions/facts on the ground will make it reverse course. The empty statements only buy time.

I know, when markets opened before dawn things looked realistic. Then a stupid meaningless statement and the price of oil tumbles. ??

Another empty, fake and false statement was just made. And yet again the market is responding very positively.

This is just bizarre. Every single time it works. Crazy.

They just released another "empty" statement to manipulate the futures market. They said countries have now AGREED to escort ships.

This time thankfully the market is not listening.

I predict by tomorrow the dow will be down 1000 points.

How? You can’t know and market swings enormously both ways.

It's easy to lose money, but easy to make money too.

So you just take big swings and so far have gotten lucky. That is true.

Index funds have to keep buying, Michael Burry talks about this.

Only as long as young people are saving more than old people are selling.

Haven’t you noticed all the articles revising people’s bond to stock ratio — it used to be you should stocks % = 100 - age , but hand waving living longer and low interest rates, people should stay in stocks 20 or more years longer (120 - age) etc.

That will goose things quite a bit, and of course if they die with the stocks in tact the children in inherit will keep it in stocks as well.
