Sad reality: as long as the stock market moves, they can make lots of money. Up or down? Doesn’t matter. Just gotta know Dear Leader’s next genius move a little bit ahead of the rest of the market
I dunno, Musk looked really damn sad the other day talking about Tesla.
Although, I’m not sure how he’s going to swing it in the opposite direction when no one trusts he isn’t going to flip-flop just days later.
That unpredictability is what’s causing the stocks to tumble. People make money as stock prices fall by short selling. Basically borrowing stocks and selling them. If the price falls, the investor makes a profit.
I believe, like Michael Lewis, that the stock market is nearly 100% price controlled via HFT algorithms, leveraging the dark pools run by the wealthiest banks and hedge funds. If this is correct, then the market will never outright crash again. Therefore, no one, from this point forward, should take have any notion that the stock market will punish Trump. Ultimately, the stock market will fluctuate for dramatic effect, but will continue on a steady upward trend completely decoupled from any particular reality.
Oh would you look at that, it’s up 353 points today.

With the amount of weird people I’ve seen online, I am willing to bet on the existence of some hardcore Marxist/Lenninists feeling like Trump is an undercover communist.
“No bro, Trump is actually a secret communist bro! See how he’s secretly dismantling American imperialism! Just wait till he starts a purge of the liberal Democrat bourgeoisie!”
