What if...just what if we all played the game along with them? We all have access to the same information that these rich folks do (for the most part). PLAY THE GAME WITH THEM! You can open a damn Robinhood account in the next 10 minutes if you want to. Learn how to read candlesticks. Do back testing on TOS. Have AI tell you what happens historically in times like this. Use all this free information out here to your advantage!

Exactly. What I don't get.

There are ten threads celebrating how the tariffs tanked capital markets.

These posters were stomping harder than Duncan Hines on those of us who have a 401k, invest, or have compensation tied up in equity.

Now these same posters saying they knew Trump was masterminding some great market manipulation scheme.

Then why didn't you buy?

who the hell is comfortable with buying when it's up 2500 points one day and down 1800 the next? shyt is way too unpredictable to be doing anything IMO.

What a pathetic false equivalence. There is a clear difference between Trump-adjacent insiders who receive tips to take on RISK-FREE positions ahead of market-moving headlines versus the average Joe who takes it upon himself to open a brokerage account and learn how to use it to buy and sell stocks with moderate levels of risk and WITHOUT insider information.

Now, could you have interpreted his tweet: "Now is a good time to buy" as a hint and bought? Sure, but it is not without risk, and there is a non-zero chance you get dumped on again, because that's exactly what happened to crypto investors who listened to Eric Trump's early February call to "Buy ETH now".

A few days ago there were ten threads about how Trump is a completely inept madman who is making a series of poorly conceived moves that will absolutely devastate the economy and capital markets.

Now he's a brilliant market manipulator who's making better chess moves than Magnus Carlsen.

These unhinged posters can't even keep it consistent for a week.

I should find a free copy of "The Art of The Deal.", I'm curious because I bet he hasn't changed a bit.

He is doing what he has been doing for decades.

Get money by any means, he'll do everything but sell his own daughter. Maybe :mjlol:

The downside is that other countries will fight with their own tariffs, so we'll see how it goes in a few months. Buying up electronics now, not later.

I know my ass is broke :mjlol:

and because our corrupt president has a company on the stock market with the symbol DJT. i thought he was just promoting his stock, didn't know that's how he signed off.

I said this the minute he started playing games with the tariffs

He knows what he's doing, Trump is the greatest con artist ever in American history, maybe the world

He's gonna bankrupt this country, then he's gonna lead us into a war and claim war time powers
^^^^^^

Ask AI "what's the difference in trading activity vs risk when you compare retail investors and institutional investors or day traders who take advantage of a volatile trading market like the current one?"



Then ask whether retail investors can keep up was day traders and institutional investors.



I have first hand experience with the latter groups. They are playing in entirely different game. Outside of almost constant leveraging they trade in, they fukk around in derivatives and future. They don't just play in the equity market. They rely on real time strategies that can spot risk before it becomes a problem. Their data feeds are updated at millisecond speeds, which matters when the leader of free world tanks the market during a live stream.



Retail investors should never seek to mimic what these people are doing or else they go bankrupt. The only advantages retail investors have over day and institutional traders is time. We can dollar cost average more effectively because we aren't leveraged to hell or we aren't beholden to other investors. That means sticking etfs, which usually out perform most strategies in the long run or buying into a promising industry/company when its low and sitting on it for years.



^^^^^free game. Don't spend what you aren't willing to lose. Invest in what you believe in. If you hearing about a get quick rich strategy, you're already too late. Look towards other investments outside of the markets....them shyts have no real material.

Allow known scammers and crooks to run the country
I mean the country was started by their era's version of billionaires.

They knew slavery was on its way out in Britain and they knew they'd lose money if it was made illegal in the colonies.

The founders of America weren't working class people who wanted a land of economic opportunity for others like them. They weren't visionary geniuses either who cared more about human rights than the British. They were bag chasers who wanted to double down their wealth in a business environment that wouldn't regulate their worst impulses.

America was started by and for rich a$$holes.
