Is Trump tipping off investors or is this just a coincidence?

According to a political analyst / tech expert Chistopher Bouzy, there appears to be an interesting coincidence between the timing of a Lockheed Martin stock dump and Trump's tweet about the potential cancellation of "deals" between the company and the US government.

CONWAY: So, President-elect Trump sees that he has this massive online platform. He says about 35 million on Twitter and Facebook combined. And he sees an opportunity to communicate right to people by cutting through the noise or the silence, whatever the case may be, through social media platforms. But see that through tweets now he can affect industry, he affected the stock market yesterday, frankly, and he did it twice. He did it in two different ways: first, by telling Boeing to cancel the project or maybe put it on hold. He thinks it's too expensive, it goes against his entire platform of cutting waste and abuse in the system. And then their stocks went down 1.5 percent yesterday. And then secondly, he went down to the lobby in Trump Tower where the media are, and he announced a $50 billion -- that's with a "b" -- investment by SoftBank.
