Good Evening, They now have a new trade called the Trump trade. President Trump tweets a threat or threats. Then the market dips. Then President Trump softens the threats and the market rallies. The Trump Trade is to buy the dip. So far it’s worked to perfection…… Anyway, Today President Trump dialed back his threat to launch missiles in Syria and the market responded with a strong rally. No doubt, there was some posturing ahead of the 2nd quarter earnings season that begins tomorrow.
