You want to see what a complete pathological liar Trump is?

Look at the CPI from 2019 smack in the middle/late Trump's first term to the first three months of Biden where it is all momentum from the previous administration:

If you are an investor let alone a trader, and this doesn't worry you, you are in grave danger of potentially experiencing a large drawdown, maybe in days.

Trump claims he inherited a mess. THE TRUTH: Here is the main article in The Economist late 2024:

"Special report: The American economy has left other rich countries in the dust"

Why the poor get hammered - because they cant borrow like Bezos:

If wages lag inflation, the real marginal cost of labor falls, even if nominal pay rises slightly.

So:

Nominal wage ↑ 3%
Inflation ↑ 6%
Real wage ↓ 3%
That’s an implied wage compression.

Or simpler:

Trump needs fake prizes the way children need participation ribbons.

The guy is the most insecure president ever. I bet you when Trump looks in the mirror, he sees a broken child. His father must have done a real psych job on him:

CNBC Pro sent me a trial of one of their pages. "Stocks with robust shareholder total returns, per Morgan Stanley"

It take me a couple of seconds to build this portfolio, and get a very high level view of it. Every stock seems to be a bargain - there may be value here.

The "governor" (What I call the regime identification manager that directs position sizing depending on their own regime) has been "stuck" at high risk.

The last few days system red, but the governor kept the systems from losing more by reducing the size of the legs and therefore the hedges:
