I made a post last Friday calling for a reversal this week on Tues/Wednesday. I predicted that Trump would give in to reason and see the writing on the walls about how an extended conflict that jacks up commodities would be bad for midterms and the economy. See post below.

We are now about 3.7 % higher on the S&P index on heavy volume. I wanted to make this post for a few reasons.
1. For those new to markets take this as a lesson to always inverse Reddit, ignore the hive mind noise and stick to your investing strategy. Always be DCAing into solid names during times of heightened volatility.
2. I also predicted no bottom consolidation but a V shaped bounce so retail will miss the run up after. Keep this in mind when you try to time the market due to geopolitical events caused by the current presidential administration. If the reason for the downtrend is systemic then you get a longer duration bottom as things shake out, policies are changed, or it take time for lagging indicators to flip. In these last few cases it has literally been trump manipulating markets on a macro scale, the writing was on the wall he would TACO. There will probably be another dip or two as well down the road for the same reasons, have some dry powder ready.
3. Stay long and strong if you're young. Don't mess with margin or derivatives if you can't afford to lose the money invested.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!
