Roughly $11.1 trillion has been wiped away from the U.S. stock market since Jan. 17, the Friday before President Donald Trump took the oath of office and began his second term, according to data from Dow Jones Market Data.
Some $6.6 trillion of that figure was lost on Thursday and Friday alone — the largest two-day wipeout of shareholder value on record, Dow Jones data showed.
To be selfish at this time, if I had 40k sitting in cash, do I have a chance to make good on this? Or are things too unstable to invest as just a dumb guy with some cash?
Nah dude, there’s more to it.
Step 1: already have a fortune put away in the US stock market.
Step 2: promise a business friendly environment after the election
Step 3: get elected
Step 4: sell off your stocks while confidence is high and market is on the up
Step 5a: put all your money on shorting index funds with the highest possible leverage
Step 5b: impose tarrifs
Step 6: use aggressive foreign policy to prevent foreign buyers from acquiring a share of the now discounted US economy.
Step 7a: settle short positions get infinite money (Trump will have leverage that us plebs cannot comprehend)
Step 7b: stabilise economy
Step 8: use infinite money to buy significant chunks of the US economy
Once all steps are complete trump is king in all but name even after he leaves office.
As much as if hate to admit it, the orange clown has pulled a massive big brain play. It’s terrifying what he could be planning next.
Amazing how every time the Republicans get majority control of things the markets go to shit. The faster they work to dismantle what democratic control of something exists the faster it falls apart.
Just wait until the markets open on Monday…
I expect Musk to become the first trillionaire from all of this. Thing is, that trillion will be worth $100 Euros or any other form of currency that isn’t attached to America.
May the money pit that Musk stands on, suck him in like a bog.
