Trump's 'buy' tip on social media before his tariffs pause made money for investors who listened

When Donald Trump offered some financial advice Wednesday morning, stocks were wavering between gains and losses.

But that was about to change.

“THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT,” he wrote on his social media platform Truth Social at 9:37 a.m.

Less than four hours later, Trump announced a 90-day pause on nearly all his tariffs. Stocks soared on the news, closing up 9.5% by the end of trading. The market, measured by the S&P 500, gained back about $4 trillion, or 70%, of the value it had lost over the previous four trading days.

It was a prescient call by the president. Maybe too prescient.

You nibble at the bottom of the market slide, then Krasnov tells you to buy, you do, he speaks, you make 6% in 4 hours, then you know it will revert to the mean, so you're short today and make another 3-4% on the slide. This is the game. I did ok for the week. Not playing today.
