Friends,
Except for a few stragglers, Earning Season is over.
Since this is the acid test for the impact of President Trumps’ use of tariffs as the dice in his Global “Not It” game, let’s take a look, shall we?

Friends,
The “Trade Agreement” with the United Kingdom
Is this P.T. Barnum Press Conference Soundbite Showmanship or Reality?
Let’s look at facts…  

Cynically Optimistic,
Robert

Friends,
I assume we all know better than to use postings on an unregulated social media platform as the gospel truth. I'm confident that the vacuous pronouncements delivered with gusto are taken as bombastic theater - I am proud of y’all for your skepticism when you hear the fanciful, fabricated, “Trumped-Up” statements regarding “soon to be” signed tariff and trade agreements. But most of all, tears of joy swell in my eyes brought on by the elation and delight I feel knowing that you we're all Gold Star recipients in your civics classes and chuckle when the President triggers havoc with Markets with inaccurate statements regarding his ability to terminate the head of a non-government agency.
Request his resignation?  Yes
Terminate? Nope

Robert

Friends,
For your consideration, I present facts related to the Market's miraculous, surprise climb on 9 April.
Was this truly for the benefit of America(ans) or orchestrated for the benefit of a select few?

Immediately after his post regarding the tariff suspension, in his following post, Prersident Trump proclaims, "it's a great time to buy the DJ" (Dow Jones Index)

Was this a signal?

Regardless, I present my thoughts on the four players involved in the Market explosion and the person whom I believe is the "Wizard behind the curtain"
Hint - it ain't President Trump

i hope I'm wrong :(
Robert

Friends,
Yesterday's "surprise" announcement by President Trump jacked Markets up by 9%+ 
But, was it for the benefit of America(ans) or a calculated "pump & dump" scheme orchestrated to reward those who breathe in "rarefied air"?

That's a cocktail party philosophical question that means nothing to me...

i'm interested in facts - and, today's 4+% clawback of the Market's 9% "gain" (making a net gain of 5% on yesterdays' news) appears to support the facts and data presented in today's audio-email.

In a follow up (addendum) to this audio-email, I explore the empirical evidence supporting the case for an orchestrated "surprise" 

Robert

Friends,
At 3:00 AM when I booted up the system and looked at the futures market, seeing that it was up 800 points was mildly amusing to me.
By the opening bell, the market was up 1400+ points (around 3.5%).
This elicited an audible guffaw.
Seeing the market close <320 points / – 84%> Joined by the S&P 500's return of -1.5% and the Nasdaq’s return of -2.15%, makes me smile.
Anyone making investment or market decisions/assessments based on financial news' sound bites…

As the saying goes, “It ain’t over till it's over”.

Based on the indicators I outline in this audio, we are close to deploying the cash in your account to make money from this bloodbath, but we're not quite there yet.
