After the Dow fell over 20% points the president went on TV to brag of a one day rise in stock mkt

[spanone]

peoples' 401K's were decimated and trump took credit for a one day bump in the stock market

mainly due to the declaration of a national emergency that made $50 bilion dollars available to deal with the emergency.

he bragged that he should hold press conferences five times a day (gloating that the stock market would rise each time)

he's incapable of any sense of empathy.

we are in the incapable hands of a madman who takes no responsibility for his actions.

I'm disgusted.

6. So he finally does what everyone said he should have done two days earlier

... and pats himself on the back for undoing a fraction of the damage he did earlier.

4. He signed the DJIA chart and sent it

To that fool Lou Dobbs. You know those horror movies where s child or an idiot is given power. We are living it.

5. It was a well-orchestrated production.

With all those established businessmen, on a late Friday evening, to announce a national emergency and billions of dollars input into the system.

It worked. At least, temporarily.

[exboyfil]

7. I posted right before close

That it was time to take advantage of Dead Cat Bounce 2 and clear equities. 401ks fulfill orders at the end of the day. I had a balanced portfolio going in, but I had no intention of continuing to ride the coaster.

8. We'll See At Monday Open

This was not a good weekend for investors.
Talk about a total shutdown will make some traders nervous. Long term profit taking might be the priority and others might be happy to buy at a discount.
Not predicting, but it's possible.

9. This is his pattern--make a mess and then claim credit for any improvement in it

Yeah, I crayoned the whole wall, but look how clean THAT bit is!!
