Is it coincidence or a shrewd political strategy of Trump to repeat what he had previously used in April this year on the stock market ?
Back then, nobody knows what cards was on his sleeve and the Fear index shot up to a high of 60. The stock market had a mini crash on 4/4/25 and took a few days to recover, ie 9/4/25.
Much like the far away thundering claps that sends chills down one spine and look for shelter to hide, there was but little rain effect. This time, the game is similar and the big boys responded quickly, having studied his track records.
Too many retail investors were still mourning their losses or had already sold off, hopefully with profits or those who leveraged a lot and bought at high were the scapegoats!
Within a day, the stock market recovers! OMG , this is so incredible and how manipulative a market can be! And compare the 60 points VIX in April against the 20+ points this time, the fear was still there but probably not so great huh?
China, did they fall for his trick ? Obviously not ! They went ahead to impose export tariffs on some other sectors! And well, Trump did tweet that all is fine and he will be meeting President Xi soon! How fickle minded or shrewd he is , haha.
Three things I have learnt thus far :
1. IF you have itchy fingers and want to punt, please use a small % of your capital to bet on the stocks/ETF/crypto/currency you want. AND put a stop loss and profit target to it. Just treat it as lottery.
2. NEVER go on margin trading - never mind how lucky or good others show off their portfolio on social media winning 678 figures.
3. ALWAYS invest in fundamentally good companies and when Trump gives you a present like this - share prices drop 5-8%, it is a screaming buy/accumulation on those counters! This is far more important than item 1 (imagine you bet too much here and lost )as you need to stand by capital !
The bull market continues ............things are again back to normal ..........until............
