Well I bought this morning (not a large trade), based not on insider information but on the obvious outcome. Also the dynamic signal that Trump spent 2h spewing utter nonsense at a donor dinner last night, but the market didn't go down this morning. Signaling that something was in the works one way or another.

Edit: best to note that Trump is still doing plenty to destroy the US economy, so be careful out there.

Yesterday the indexes started up 3-4% and finished down at least as much. Risky move but congrats.

Frankly, everything is “obvious” in retrospect. I assumed Trump would triple down regardless of the consequences. My only conclusion is that the fluctuations of the market are going to be completely arbitrary during this administration.
