Yea, I mean, its clear a lot of liberals didnt think that based on what they were saying how the trade war would hurt the US markets.
ill be honest
no, it was not obvious to me
i held off on investing during his presidency until collins indicated she was going to vote in favor, that was late nov/very early dec. by then i had learned, and it was clear.
that was when i threw most of my portfolio long. i left some off the table until jan, then put that on.
through everything that has happened since i have generally put new money to work anytime there was a market shock related to a statement made by him/someone quitting his admin, because i've always taken it as an action to fade.
markets are going up, trump reliably says things that are false, and in general i assume the opposite is true whenever he speaks.
had i trusted markets would consistently rise throughout his presidency and ignore his asinine bullshit, I'd probably have an extra hundred thousand dollars in my portfolio. that was my personal idiot tax.
Do you look at technicals? All TA traders I know have been saying the stock market would be bullish, they must be seeing bullish momentum in the charts that goes beyond the level of impact Trump can have on the economy through fundamentals. ---
I don't know my gimmick "Does that sound reasonable to you?"
