It's almost like the whole point is just to enable insider trading on a scale we've never seen before.
- jstummbillig 2y agoIs there any reliable instrument to find out? This seems so obvious, given the only alternative option seems to be believing they are completely insane.
- alabastervlog 2y agoThe independent IGs installed after all Nixon's criming might be in a good position to check up on that. But he illegally (without required notice period and specific reason provided to Congress) fired them right at the beginning of his term.
- HumblyTossed 2y agoI mean it's all right there out in the open. He fired anyone who could hold him accountable and now he is openly manipulating the markets.
- layer8 2y agoThe alternative you mention is more likely, given all we know. On the other hand, why not both.
- pstuart 2y agoAh, there's the rub. Even with a smoking gun there's no political will to do anything about it. > are completely insane More likely detached from reality, laser focused on personal gain, and punishing perceived enemies.
- fancyfredbot 2y agoYou could look at https://www.capitoltrades.com/ https://www.capitoltrades.com/ in a few days. Of course you'd probably expect the average senator/congressional representative to be smart enough not to go insider trading on their own monitored account...

- rqtwteye 2y agoAnybody who could investigate probably got fired. After the pardons of Blagojevich and the Nikola guy it’s pretty clear that scamming is ok now.
- paganel 2y agoTIL that the Nikola guy got pardoned.
- nialv7 2y agoRemember that "debunked" rumor tweet on Monday that created a market rollercoaster ride? The one that predicted exactly this? What the hell is even going on
- JackYoustra 2y agoDoesn't make much sense, if you're insider trading you profit more if you move one stock a lotlotlot vs all the stocks merely a lot.
- skyyler 2y agoLike I said, on a scale we've never seen before.
- jeffbee 2y agoDerivatives had huge moves based on these announcements. Out-of-the money SPX E-mini puts went up 10x after tariffs were announced. Near-the-money E-mini calls doubled after today's announcements. These are zero-risk insider strategies.
- acdha 2y agoBuy the NASDAQ at 1:17PM. Sell at 2PM. You’ve just made 10% without doing any work. If you’re doing any kind of leveraged play, you can get even higher returns.
- JackYoustra 2y agomy point is that's the exact same if its a random microcap, just massively magnified. The president can easily cause triple digit swings. Doing a broad market movement is inefficient from this point of view.

- 9283409232 2y agoBiggest pump and dump ever.
- xenospn 2y agoIt’s now called just “trading”.
- bamboozled 2y agoI believe that’s what is going on as well.
