I'm watching the futures: The market didn't like his speech.

[LuckyCharms]

Truly amazing that the market hangs on every breath that fucker takes.

1. They like the abuse apparently

Even though he is a known liar, they weigh his every word like they can predict what will happen next.

[True Dough]

2. If you're watching the future,

we should call you Lucky Nostradamus!

[Buttoneer]

3. Bibi probably threatened Trump with releasing an Epstein video

[Renew Deal]

4. There was no comfort for the markets in that speech and they are very down

9. Speech was not welcome, love (not) the Stone Age reference that he has tossed out a few times now ...

18. Shades of "bomb North Vietnam back to the Stone Age"

[Renew Deal]

7. I was doing the same ...

the market always reacts to what is happening in the political world. The difference now is that it happens faster with a post on social media and a madman in the WH.

8. It had been up anticipating an end to the war

[LuckyCharms]

11. S&P futures were slightly up right before the speech.

Now they're down over 1%.

10. Asian countries/markets are more exposed to oil shocks from the Strait of Hormuz

This was not a reassuring speech for them. Telling other countries it's up to them to open up the strait now that he started another ill-conceived war. JFC...

12. Trump is bad for business

Not really good for anything, except maybe adult diaper makers and orange pancake makeup suppliers.

[Jack Valentino]

13. Trump does a GREAT JOB at putting an END to the MYTH that

"Republicans are good for the economy!"


I was somewhat impressed by his truthful admission that 'gas prices are up'! LOL


'Trump telling the truth about something'--- that is notable!

14. I'd be dumping all stock funds and heading into money market funds.

Oh whoops. Already did that!

17. When do you buy back? A line that has always stuck with me is someone who said 'there are two

decisions to make when you sell ... when to sell and when to buy back.'

I'm not saying selling was the wrong decision, I'm just wondering what determines when to buy back? Asking as someone who has sold their retirement account in March 2000, bought back in March 2003. Sold again in early 2008 and then went in to fixed asset investments. I've found technical analysis to be helpful over the years. Thanks in advance.

15. He confirms that he can't get off that easily.

16. Market Manipulation is their agenda!!!!
