IMHO, president Trump is playing a different version of Russian Roulette.

What the media isn't telling us is that after they attempted to co-opt the tariff scare for soy beans is that several European markets bought China's soy futures. There is more to the story than the media is telling. There is always another market. China needs to play ball, they aren't the only country with needs.

You betcha! Gotta love program trading!!! Though I have to admit the gains were much more lucrative under Obama back when I could short the companies he was personally picking to succeed in the Solar area and Electric Car areas. Fisker was an obvious loser as a car company before he poured money into it......no brainer there. Who says dumb politicians always inflict pain???? Then there was Obama's penchant for announcing everything he was going to do well in advance or the predictions his minions would make publicly. I made over $80k just on one of his Economic advisors telling everyone it would take years and years for housing to recover in this country. Pulte Homes stock tripled in less than a year after that. So I got a free Mercedes with just one Obama admin comment. Though I still like the ups and downs with Trump. So far Obama was more predictable and Obama gave a much longer runway between comment and market reaction than Trump.
