This prediction is quite falsifiable too so anyone is free to rub it in my face if it fails. If it's really a speculative insider trade the reversal will be done in the space of 2-3 weeks tops, but likely even faster. Probably on a workday. Kinda the same pattern they were doing with tariff swings until the market figured it out and stopped reacting.

- includenotfound 4mo ago> People who look up to Donald Trump unsurprisingly feel his genius moves are hard to read I don't look up to Trump but this is phrased incredibly condescending of you. You are directly implying that people who like Trump are stupid.
- varjag 4mo agoHow do you gauge the tone of the reply I was answering to? You can't really be edgy to people on the Internet and not ever expect a pushback.
- includenotfound 4mo agoYou're clearly devaluating a group of people. "unsurprisingly": these people are predictable (by you, in this case) "his genius moves": hyperbole, you clearly think they are not You're saying people predictably like Trump's obviously bad moves AND are simultaneously incapable of reading these obvious moves (to paraphrase you without the snark). Then you're associating that with "petty thug mentality", as if people were too stupid not to look up to a criminal. You are the edgy one here, and in fact smug about it. At least post proof of stock positions, otherwise you're just confidently accusing people of being stupid while not putting your money where your mouth is.
- varjag 4mo agoNotice how you ignored my question. I’m not sure if it’s malice or comprehension issue. Either way it’s not adding to the strength of your argument.
- includenotfound 4mo agoYou: "How do you gauge the tone of the reply I was answering to?" Me: "here's why, you said this word and that word, carrying this and that connotation" You: "Notice how you ignored my question" lmao Anyway - positions? Or is it just talk?
- varjag 4mo agoLook I’m free to hold low opinion of Donald Trump supporters. While you/them don’t like it I don’t really care. Are we clear?
- includenotfound 4mo agoWhat is clear is that you strongly hold opinions that you're not willing to put money into, i.e. they're worthless (by your own account). Thank you for the clarification.
- varjag 4mo agoI have tons of opinions but only a finite amount of money. Which are invested in the most boring way into long positions that am decidedly not liquidating on Monday in an attempt to time the crooks to impress an internet nobody.
- indiv0 4mo agoGP wasn’t asking how you gauge their tone. They were asking how would you classify the tone of the comment they were replying to. The implication being “I wasn’t the first with a condescending tone”.
- inamorty 4mo agoDoes it need to be implied?
