     @ChrisMayLA6 The only reason I didn't 'buy the dips' is that I don't think he's sufficiently competent to do market manipulation. The dips will be where he expects, but I don't think the recovery will be.

     The more POTUS Trump backtracks from his 'tariff shock' the more it looks like an extended strategy of market manipulation for his investor friends who were able to 'buy the dips'.

     I'd be interested how many of Ttrump's chums have made quick gains by by either shorting ahead of his tariff announcement(s), or buying in the turmoil after, and now selling as prices recover?

     The number will be more than zero & might be quite a high proportion of his social circle, would be my guess.
