We may trip the first market circuit breaker today. S&P currently down 5.40%.

First breaker is at minus 7%. Then, minus 13%. 15 minute trading break at each breaker. At 20%, market closes for the day.

I believe yesterday's rise was a gimee to his billionaire buddies.

Now that that is done...look out below.

Caveat: I could be wrong. In fact, I frequently am wrong.

This is not financial advice.

Something like "now is a great time to buy".

It reeks of blatant manipulation.

As long as medium/long term uncertainty remains, the market will continue to drop.

It's not just "uncertainty" either. it's the fact fact that the most influential man in the world changes his mind like most people change their underwear. He's completely unpredictable.

He doesn't have a "bad" plan, he has "no" plan.

There is no defined goal.
