Much of the market gain is around handfuls of stocks like FAANGs. And our leader has issues with 4 of those.

So there is a very closely coupled lever to the market.

I wonder if there are high speed shorts triggered by twitter already.

Amazing. Would it be insider trading if twitter held his tweets for 5 seconds and sold early rights to the content?

Twitter Flash Trade Platform?
