Wow. Something just happened in the stock market.

@jerry Something good?

@jerry

@jerry VIXY 🚀🌕

@jerry Not sure where that sudden increase of nearly 1500 points came from. Looking for the news.

@jerry it's continuing to happen :/

@jerry That was an insane turn around, some indices turned green from deep red in seconds

@jerry And there’s the peak.

I am hearing 90 tariff pause

@jerry a tariff pause seems likely but also just demonstrates the problem and chaos that will prevent any of the investment #Bronzer claims he wants. Only a fool builds on shifting sands.

@sk3w @jerry VIXY is halted.

@feld @cepheuskb @jerry That or a false rumor. And now it is down again.

@jerry Pump and dump.

@jerry update: something else just happened in the stock market

@cremevax WH just said the 90 pause was an unfounded rumor

@jerry I can’t believe people are still falling for twitter hoaxes like that

@jerry

Apparently the source...

@jerry Noo! Wait, my monthly dollar cost average purchase hasn't happened yet! Sigh. :)

@jerry it's going great Jerry https://www.morningstar.com/economy/tariffs-are-self-inflicted-economic-catastrophe 🥲

@jerry there will be no pause

@jerry

Why would Biden do this.

@rk @jerry why would a bunch of rich old people do this? #lost in translation

@jerry fake news apparently...

@Rairii @cremevax the source this time wasn’t X, but Trump’s economic advisor on Fox News

Back up we go again. This is the wildest trading day I’ve ever seen.

@jerry I think the suspense and doom are over since trump is willing to wheel and deal - the mkt needed to be corrected anyways - bubbles, p/e ratios #oversoldout #nasdaq ai fever

@jerry @Rairii as reported by some twitter user named “Walter Bloomberg” who says Reuters is the source of the quote, which no one can verify.

@jerry @Rairii but, the tweet was in ALL CAPS, so by the power invested in me by social media, I declare this: factcheck ✅

@jerry Markets reacting to social media posts is the hell we deserve

@JustTooOdd @jerry Buy on rumor, sell on news. Now the cycle is in milliseconds instead of hours.

@jerry the market:

@jerry I highly suspect that there's a large number of people thinking they're buying "the dip", when they're actually buying the cliff.

@jerry

Any impact on Insurance?

Wondering is this debacle counts as Force Majoure in contracts or for business interruption/uninsured losses? 😕

@jerry

i sense a great disturbance in the market, as if millions of brokers cried out in terror and sold in a panic.

@jerry Did the global stock market just now also spontaneously combust into flames while falling into the abyss?

@simonzerafa I very much doubt that counts. This is why the sophisticated investors use options to hedge their positions

@jerry @simonzerafa nobody is really super sophisticated though, jim simons is dead

Today’s trading should remove any inkling of doubt that the stock market downturn is a direct result of Trump’s tariff bender

@jerry it could be a good thing, in the long term trump will be an afterthought - more than likely

@rk @jerry Biden just does what Obama tells him to do.*

• Allegedly

@rallias @sk3w @jerry That sucks. It makes sense if the rally is singled on a single stock. But this rally is pretty universal.

@jerry 90 day pause?

@wonkothesane @jerry Read that to mean another lucrative daytrading buy/sell in 90 days.

@wonkothesane @jerry Read that to mean another lucrative daytrading buy/sell in 90 days.

I'm beginning to think Trump's constant flip flop is greatly boosting his and his friends' stock portfolios.

@jerry the flapping was because of this:

@jerry

@Viss @jerry

today has been so weird. the WH calling something fake news that actually is fake news. the chinese embassy using reagan's speech on trade to school a GOP president screwing up trade.

@paul_ipv6 @jerry yeah i.went deep into sqqq lastnight, then that fake news happened. pants were shat

@ksaj @sk3w @jerry I mean, VIXY is the ETF that tracks VIX, the volatility index future. There was enough volatility in THAT to cause a circuit breaker halt.

I mostly pointed it out because that falls under "holy fucking shit".

@rallias @sk3w @jerry They're gonna have to halt it every time Donald speaks these days. lol
