This I think is going to be Keir Starmer’s big chance. He’s straight, boring and uncharismatic - but Tony Blair and Boris Johnson both had charisma and look where it got them. He’s invited Trump to take a state visit to Britain this year. If he can secure a trade deal then it will be a massive victory.
Seems Israel wasn’t spared in the tariffs I’m sure they’ll balance it out by starting a war with Iran.
Wish I’d taken this advice! About 15% drop in the last week.

I’m assuming he just has a load of people paying him to hit the up and down button for share prices so they can buy and sell and make billions in hours/days: is that what we’re seeing here?

Bound to be a bit of that going on
Market manipulation? No chance, never…
Haha, I was busy at the skatepark last night and pretty much went to bed when I got home so didnt read anything:
Donald Trump told the world to “be cool” as his sweeping import taxes took hold, tanking global markets and sending shockwaves through the U.S. economy.
Then, minutes after the opening bell on the New York Stock Exchange, Trump announced: “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!” Four hours later, the president reversed course. He paused and lowered tariffs on goods from most nations for 90 days while raising tariffs on imports from China to 125 percent. Markets soared. White House officials — who just one day earlier said Trump would never back off — said “this was his strategy all along” and “the art of the deal” at work.
V simple to make money in this instance, if you know an announcement is coming.
- You hear pause on tarrifs is coming, the last time this happened, NASDAQ/DOW/S&P (choose your index/ETF/poison), went up by 10%
- Minutes/Hours before announcement, you buy into your chosen index
- Ethics (lol) requires you declare your dealings, but this isn’t going to stop you telling your mates you have a juicy nugget of info, and it will only cost them 10% of their profits
- Announcement comes, NASDAQ screams up 10%
- You/your mates sell
- Profit
You could also do this highly leveraged (eg, every % point movement of an index, you basically have a multiplier on that could be anything up to 1000x). This does work in the other direction so you could go totally bust, but probabilities are massively in your favour.
