Stock Market is the bottom in?

I wish I was Trumps buddy, probably could have made 20% by shorting the market last week and buying in yesterday before these announcements
I bought at Monday low, I’m pretty happy now . However, I missed getting another 12k in before the rocket 🚀 up !

Oh well !

You never know, maybe the world starts ending again tomorrow?
 
I think this past 2 weeks with just the threat of tariffs panicking the masses has me maybe playing things a little differently when Trump finally does put all the tariffs in place. I might have a big sell off right before everyone panics the next time and then buy back my shares at a much better price. Timing when we get next round of mass hysteria will be the tricky part. jmo
 
Haven't heard anyone talking about Trump media lately. It was up 21% today.
 
I've been holding a fair bit of cash and got in this week but not nearly as much as i should have.. Oh well. I'm easily manipulated but should have known some of the tariff threats were too dumb to be real.
 
I’m not convinced this is over. Now that the market has ripped violently to the upside, it’s time to consider betting the other side. I’m eyeballing the Monday $500 put on SPY for around $150/ea. $600 could turn into $8,000 if SPY touches $480 by EOB Monday.

Could also just buy some SQQQ, but I wanna swing for the upper deck.

Rumor on the street about the 10 yr treasury going up is that Japan was the one selling bonds.

It seems like the 10 yr treasury was what spooked the administration into pulling back more so than the stock market. Maybe Ackman was on to something when he said Lutnick didn't care about the market because he was long bonds.

Interesting few days, will be good to see some more details come out in future days/weeks as to what exactly went on.
 
Back to no one thinking the market had got a little top heavy? Didn't Buffet say it was over valued in the 40s? Or was he strictly leery of tariffs.
 
I say we go down again once the market realizes the chicoms are playing hard ball and Trump is too. Going to be interesting to say the least.
I gained back all my losses today in about a nano second. I said let it play out but I figured it would take months not minutes.
 
I'm a far cry from getting it all back, but it was definitely a big jump in the right direction today.
 
I don’t think this is done by a long shot. We are too reliant on China in the near term to not have some pain from the trade war. I could see tomorrow being another down day.
 
What’s interesting is we still have 10% tariffs across the board , & 100% plus on China , and most now think that is a small number !
It’s not … this is what Trump has done his whole career, throw out big numbers and then the smaller numbers seem very reasonable!

I was listening to liberal radio , I think it was BBC. They are claiming Trump has ruined Christmas because we can’t afford the Chinese made ornaments.

Maybe a blessing in disguise. When I was a kid my Mom made every ornament on our tree. Except the ones she let us urchin’s half ass. But she smiled and let us hang them.

Conditioning 101.
 
It’s very interesting to hear the spin on the news.

The left claim it’s a hap hazard deer in the headlights chaos of utter incompetence, handling by the administration.

The right claim it’s a surgical precision calculated 3 D chess articulated deal.

I suspect somewhere in the middle lies the truth.
 
I bought some more today from a few I sold yesterday. Almost all in at this point.
