"Biggest one-day gain in five years"

[NCDem47]

CNBC saying regarding the S&P 500.

Trump and his monkees won't address a crash, but they'll jump on this!

Never mind giving no context that we were in the crapper for the last four business days and it only begins to dig us out of a hole.

1. 'Thanks,'

I (and family,) can use it.

4. Me too. For sure.

The commentary though is the sensational headline, that, on its own, can be manipulated by Trump to mislead.

2. And China

Isn't part of it. Were still going to feel prices go up soon. Inflation will piss is all off anyway

3. I'm only spending on essentials

for the next 4 years

5. Time to fatten up the lemmings?

A mixed metaphor for the sheep.

6. I'd suggest reading the article with that headline. It gives plenty of context, as do other articles on CNBC home page.

A few other quotes from CNBC link:

"“Given how depressed stock prices and sentiment had become, the 90-day pause is sparking a violent rebound, and delaying implementation certainly removes a giant overhang from the market,” said Adam Crisafulli. “But – tariffs are not going away. China’s tariff rate is now in triple digit territory, and who knows what happens in 90 days when this pause concludes.”

"This allows for at least a near-term rally, but I would not assume that the bottom has been put in place,” added Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA Research. “Fool me once shame on you; fool me five times, shame on me.”

"Prior to the announcement of the 90-day pause, investors were on edge over an escalating tit-for-tat between China and Trump. The EU had also approved its first set of tariffs on the U.S. set to start April 15."

9. I understand that. and agree. We're on the same page here.

It's TRUMP who runs with flattering headlines. I was predicting to watch for him and Republican talking heads to come out to tout the headline and bury/not address the bigger story. So like them. At least Trump will run with a Truth Social post along the lines of "See what I created! The largest one day jump in five years!" Or something like that.

11. Oh, he'll definitely claim victory and that he's a genius. He always does.

[question everything]

7. We've seen this yo-yo for the past several weeks

He is going with tariffs, market drops, someone gets in and buys cheap, then he plays SNL Emily Latella, “never mind”. Market goes up and that someone is making a bundle.

8. Market manipulation

10. S&P closed over 6,100 points on February 20

It's down over 12% in the last 50 days (even counting today's gains). If you had $400,000 in a retirement account indexed to the S&P, you'd be down almost $50,000 in less than 2 months.

12. And why did that happen, genius?

Because you're a genius? No, because you paused some of the tariffs. Even if that was your 'plan' all along, what's the point? What are you accomplishing besides waving your tiny, mushroom dick in everyone's face?
