How do you think the stock market will react tomorrow?

The huge buy outs today were done when the prices were very low. No one had time to study it. They bought on an impulse after Trump tweeted that he was going to put a ninety day pause on the tariffs.

Will they look at the market with the same eyes tomorrow? Will the market fight back and win all its losses of the last few days?

It's anybody's guess.

There is a possibility it will remain unchanged but that is unlikely.

Is he upwind or downwind? That seems to be what's driving the market.

He has manipulated the market so many times with his comments and threats, it is hard to keep count.

10 percent tariffs which mean rally unlikely to continue. Recession still possible. Also still possible, Trump giving up on all tariffs. IE markets will only stabilize once tariffs are done for good.

19. Yeah, but that 10% is moveable.

A number of people quoted in news sources today said when it looked like there'd be tariffs they discussed them with their suppliers and usually the suppliers showed flexibility, "eating" half to all of the small tariff.

When the tariffs landed at 25, 45, 50+% percent that broke down completely.

Now, back at 10%, who knows?

7. Perhaps a more sober assessment of current reality.

Yes Trump did back down, but he is still very irrational and unpredictable.
He is capable of doing anything to hurt the country.

And there is only a 90 day delay, there is still a great deal of uncertainty.
And a huge tariff war looming with China, our biggest trading partner.

Edit to add: businesses never know if they will irritate Trump politically
on some minor point and face his wrath.

It is very difficult to run a business in this environment.

They probably won't say it out loud.

But business owners will be careful about hiring new staff
or spending money.

Even if they pay Trump to go easy on them, he is a liar and cheat.
And can double cross them at any moment.

Also businesses never know if they are going to irritate Trump
politically and face retribution.

14. Which gets back to your point about uncertainty.

And lack of predictability.

American billionaires and CEOs took the US for granted.
It was a predictable, safe environment.
Rule of law, freedom, courts, constitution, etc.

And they ruined it by installing a crook into office.
They thought Trump would help them steal and grift to their
heart's content. Instead Trump is stealing and grifting from them.

9. There were buy outs today? I didn't watch, I was in the supermarkets.

Damn I missed Micron MU, up 12 points, and Uber. Most of the dodgy stocks, those without sound earnings, speculative AI, moved up a point or so. I still sense weakness. The "pause" on tariffs doesn't change the leader, the game, the stable genius strategy, the advisers, the problems. We will retreat within a week if not by Friday. I've had good luck this week by waiting for a strong move then countering for a reversal.

Who expected Doofus to reverse course on tariffs today? This whole nonsense has been too concentrated in a short period of time.

I look for signs of the economy in my local stores. Kohl's looked hit by a cyclone, and not much has moved since I was there 2 weeks ago. Clearance rack had many of the exact same items. Retailers are playing games to grab $. Shelf sale price not taken at register. It was only a buck, and some other prices were excellent as I caught a sale, so I didn't waste time on complaining. But this goes on regularly. Some department manager wants to make bonus so he instructs workers to over price, misprice. That's my guess.

Who cares? We have a 24 hour reprieve, and I’m going to treat myself for the next 24 hours.

Potentially a sucker rally; a major manipulation of the market regardless…

Tomorrow might be down...

It's fine with me. As a daily trader I love the big swings... I make money off of it.
