People are complete morons and will fall for this every month. Most, almost all, of the morons do not even realize that is exactly what is happening already. The rich will gain and take advantage of the predictable buying opportunities, while everything else stagnates (at best) or declines.
You give too much credit to hegdefunds. Manny retail folk made a lot of money from puts and many are full cash waiting to buy cheaper. The issue here is the impact on the real world that is the big big problem.
He already pulled back on Mexico for the next month again. Talked with Canada today and is pulling pulling some, if not all, of them for another month too.
I think Trump thought it’d be like last week when rolling the tariffs back caused a green surge. But that trick only fools the markets once (with an indeterminant cooldown time)
The pumps are fake. Just creating liquidity for his billionaire buddies.
Also when you can make the market dump off a comment or pump off a delay or some other comment, well then sir, you need nothing else in the world. You have a superpower that can create billions.
As someone who is just getting into investing and stocks, can you explain to me what you mean?
It seems like it means that he is intentionally crashing the stocks so that they can be bought cheap, and then after the tariffs are reversed, sell them for more. Is that about right?
That's not how tariffs work. Fuckwad Trump can remove the tariffs if he wants but the other countries placing retalitory tariffs have no reason to remove theirs. Damage done.
Gonna be difficult if Canada keeps the tariffs on like they say they're going to. He's destroying trade with major partners and those sales aren't going to come back overnight.

Its a dump and pump. Pump when he pulls back tariffs in a week or so
