Looks like the markets again have been dumped and pumped.

You know, like pump and dump, but in the other order.

1. But nothing has changed. This could be a dead cat bounce.

Either that OR the ones with the illegal inside information - you know, the ones running things - know he's going to roll back the tariffs.

5. That's one bouncy cat.

7. Yes. It's down again now. I guess they all got their shorts in.

2. How many times has Trump run this con?

6. That's a very valid point. It's been going on long enough for data now.

Surprised some YouTube wag/guru hasn't charted the trending days, the trough days, the peak days.

3. And Trump can issue a Truth Social post at any time, for any reason, that will tank the market again.

Our economy is held hostage to the whims of a child-king.

4. Is President's Plunge Protection Team still operational?

Do they need them with algo trading? I think they just push a button and walk away when the markets trend all day like this. This could be a day of drift upward, gently after this initial burst. Hate these days. No volatility which is a clue there is no real trading going on.
