Market Manipulation Plays The Crowd Like a Yo Yo

Short
TVC:SPX   S&P 500 Index
It appears that just the threat of tariffs by the US
against Mexico by June 10 has done its charm,
after the administration announced, after the market closed on Friday,
that there had been an agreement to forestall new tariffs,
that the market had been so fearful of, just a week ago.

So tonight, when stock index futures open for trading for the new week,
expect a strong gap up from last weeks trading,
as the crowd comes rushing back in to buy,seemingly on cue
as the market breathes a sigh of relief, to this very good news.

Whether you believe it or not, whether you are a trader or investor
in the almost summer of 2019, you are clearly being manipulated
and whipsawed by a constant flow of breaking news and tweets
the 2019 version of have I got a story to tell you.

Whenever the next tweet comes, perhaps this week I'm thinking
to say the Chinese are still playing hardball,
thus new trade tariffs must now be implemented on China..

What do you think the markets reaction will be to that ?

Face it. To be a trader or investor in the stock market right now
is akin to playing a game of russian roulette with your investments.

They say timing is everything.

If you happen to be in the market when a bullish tweet
rushes the crowd back in to buy, consider yourself fortunate.

And if you happen to be long, when the administration wants to
exact economic revenge against a trading partner,
who momentarily displeases it, then watch out below.

Market manipulation is playing the crowd like a yo yo.

And when that happens,
you can be almost certain that it will all end badly,
for those who just tried to play along with the tweet dance..

Crowd behavior in all it's true colors, for all to see.
In this market, there is literally no place to hide on the dance floor.

Buyer Beware.
