Trump does it again!

I don't have to imagine it. over time it moves up, then down, then up again. 

That's what stocks do. 

And BTW the president does not control the price of oil. 

Just curious-- how long have you been trading?

What policy did he enact that lowered oil prices?

A lot of that rise occurred under the Biden administration

You are projecting Trump, trying to twist and spin facts to support your narrative

What it is is rank market manipulation. GM went down, went up, went down and now is back up all in a week. Anyone who knew Trump was going to impose and disimpose and impose and disimpose tariffs on US automakers could have made untold millions in just a few days by Short and Long Trading GM Stock Options. And, someone on the inside undoubtedly did!

Was Nancy P. in the Oval Office in the White House this week?

Because she would have had to have been to know what's up!

Smart woman-- she trades derivatives (Puts and Calls). And she buys calls a lot which is nice (I trade a lot of derivatives, mainly selling covered calls-- nice to see someone wealthy buying them.

And possibly more than one person . . .

I didn't have any inside knowledge, so I didn't make huge amounts of money. But once I recognized Trump's pattern (or at least part of it) I made a little.

Pattern of unexpectedly and mercelesly announcing he's gonna do a tariff-- and if the targeted country does what he wants, he takes the tariff off. (Of course there are variations of this).

Also useful to know in advance which stocks will be gretly influenced by certain tariffs..

For example, lumber. A lot of the lumber we use comes from Canada, So if he says he will soon put a tariff on Canada, I would guess that lumber prices will go up, and act in advance. (Sometimes i;m wrong..). 

Also he's very changeable.....

So making good guesses can be lucrative.

Antigonish

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

When I came home last night at three
The man was waiting there for me
But when I looked around the hall
I couldn't see him there at all!
Go away, go away, don't you come back any more!
Go away, go away, and please don't slam the door... (slam!)

Last night I saw upon the stair
A little man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
Oh, how I wish he'd go away...

What The Actual Fuck?

Experienced  traders that trade derivatives (Puts and Calls on the stock market) can make a lot of money. The prices ("premiums") of Puts and Calls go up and down much more when there's a lot of volatility.

(High volatility meaning a stock price moves up and down a lot)
