politics & the stock market

By: Todd Wheatley

STOCK MANIPULATOR-IN-CHIEF ?!

I recently listened to an interview with billionaire investor Warren Buffett. The format appeared to be an open-ended question-answer session. Interlaced with the business activity of Berkshire-Hathaway the show host repeatedly tried to get Mr. Buffett's (negative) comments or opinions. She tried for negativity on the current economy, the long-term economy, the stock market, government spending, and the president of the United States, Donald Trump.

Not once did he take the bait. Every time he would reassure that downtrends bounce back, the future was bright, and politicians actions have a limited effect. Typical remarks as noted from several other interviews I've heard. I believe Mr. Buffett is keenly aware his words carrying the potential to move markets. Therefore it must be concluded that he chooses not to "soil his soul" with inflammatory remarks that interjects his views into stock market / economic "politics".

Contrast that with the $$%^#@$$ in the White House who knows his potential to move markets and yet tweets like a teenage drama queen without regard to damage. Clearly the polar opposite of the billionaire philantropist (Buffett) that has given most of his fortune to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Today the twitter-in-chief rivaled his 2017 "fire & fury" tweet aimed at North Korea. Two years ago those ill advised words created a commited doomsday prepper. Fortunately an economic doomsday has far fewer challenges than a nuclear apocalypse. Whatever happens to end of the world means trouble. Originally my posts about president Trump referenced him as a "loose cannon". Now it's obvious he's tottaly wreckless. Even worse, he's a danger to the U.S. and the world.

In reference to this latest calmity it could be speculated that the president, with a wink and a nod, tells his cronies to "sell short". As he proceeds to "blow up" the stock market with economic diplomacy worthy of a fifth grade bully. This coming Monday or sometime SOON Trump will do his ususal "about face" causing the markets to jump back and allow those cronies to reverse their positions to double their money. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS PURE SPECULATION - however his actions invite the worse.
