Trump’s latest shout-out is too straight to the point. Right after the U.S. stock market opened, he fired off a line: “The market will surge.” What good words do you think old Trump could have coming out of his mouth? A few years ago, such a post could indeed bully the market into printing a green candle, but now the marginal effect is weakening every time. A short-term emotional spike is possible, but the thing to fear is this: after the spike, you find there’s no real substance coming after it—and that’s when the people who got trapped are the ones who chased his big talk. Same! When Trump speaks! Pay attention to position management—make sure your defense is in place!
