No one and rightly so will trust the Americans every again.
True.
Interestingly enough though, and again reported by Bloomberg Business: ‘The largest individual gainer Wednesday was Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who added $36 billion to his fortune’.
The grift is real. Securities fraud on a massive scale, right there for all to witness. They can barely be arsed to hide it anymore.
After how much in losses?
You sound like the person who spends.$20 a week on the lottery and after 30 weeks you win $100 and think you're ahead..🙄
Really? Is that what I sound like? Okay… 🤷🏻♀️

In my opinion, and in everyone elses I have spoken to, It's the biggest legal heist in living memory. It was planned and executed in front of the world, and it seems Trump and pals will get away with it.
Who made money?.
Has Vam posted links to that?
I am no financial whizz kid, but even I know if you sell at the right time and buy back at the right time...you make money .
Even my grandson has managed to triple his meagre stocks and shares investments with this method...though his was more guess work and good luck than insider knowledge.

Anyone want to explain to me how this run has been beneficial to anyone except those in a short position??
This should be fun..
President Donald Trump gleefully recounted how much money his billionaire pals made on the stock market after he suddenly suspended most of his worldwide tariffs.

He's. trying to save face and your buying into his bullshit..
Down is up in his world..
Losing 30% of your wealth, gaining 5% back, then losing 2% again isn't a good run..Even if Trump claims it is to save face..

“He had been saying that all along (to buy); it wasn't the only time he'd said that,” he added. “(Treasury) Secretary Bessent had been saying that too... It's a really basic piece of advice.”
Trump will tell you to buy every single day during his "great administration"..
Smart investors ignore that mantra.

The gap between federal revenue and government spending widened to more than $1.3 trillion in the first half of the fiscal year, driven by a record amount of spending on the public debt.
Now for news that matters, even if it's not really about the Orange One..
Last year we added 1.8 trillion. We're at 1.5 trillion half way through because every month we are rolling over debt at much higher interest rates which require higher payments.
We are eating up our budget on interest.

Maddy you're looking desperate to defend your position post after post!
These guys didn't say to Trump we lost they didn't say they broke even they're all boasting about making a killing from his crafted political manoeuvring and blatant market manipulation but you refuse to see what's in front of your face!

And name "these guys".
You're always discussing mythical people that you can't identify..
You obviously can't be arsed to read the link so I can't be arsed to point out that there are at least two people named in the link.
Oh I just did!

Let's play this out. We have the Jack and Vam financial advisors and I'll be their client.
MD: My stock portfolio is quite a bit smaller than it was on Monday.
J&V: Well, we don't like to look at it that way. We'd like you to focus on Wednesday. That was quite a day wasn't it? You're lucky to have placed your trust in our firm.
MD: The point of my investing in stock is to increase my wealth. That's not happening.
J&V: At our firm we don't see investments like that. We focus like a laser on rare increases in stock price and ignore all of the drops. We don't like to spend time on negativity. Surely you understand our position.

They made money one fucking day.
Everyone can make money on one fucking day.
That's not some diabolical plan.
Schwab made 2.5 million on Wednesday. He is worth 12.9 billion. That's not a huge percentage.
Now, ask Trump how much Schwab lost on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and today.
It's a whole lot more than 2.5 fucking million, I assure you.
These guys don't like losing money 4 days out of 5, and only a damn fool thinks that.
That goes for a granny in Topeka or Charles Schwab..
