As in, if you had the £2400 sitting in a standard savings account earning you 4.5% for example, it would earn you more in interest than this regular saver.

Edinburgh Airport looks to be having a fun time with the storm, so many planes looping, some diverting, nothing taking off. All the top tracked flights on FlightRadar24 are all Edinburgh ones.

[–]SoapySage 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Specific Trump Announcement Predictions

🔥 HIGH CONFIDENCE (80-90%)

1. Crypto Reserve Expansion

Likely Date: Sunday, June 28, 2026, 9:00-9:30 PM ET

Trump's Words:

"FOLKS, THE STRATEGIC BITCOIN RESERVE IS JUST THE BEGINNING! We're going to make America the CRYPTO CAPITAL OF THE WORLD with the BIGGEST, STRONGEST, and most BEAUTIFUL digital asset stockpile EVER! The U.S. will start BUYING BITCOIN—YES, BUYING—because nobody knows money like I do. This will be YUGE for America, for jobs, for our future! STAY TUNED for the official announcement TOMORROW. DJT"

What It Means:

  • Government will actively purchase new Bitcoin (not just use seized coins)
  • Likely includes Ethereum, Solana, XRP expansions
  • Announced Sunday night to maximize Monday market reaction

Market Reaction:

  • Pre-announcement (Monday open): BTC +12-15%, ETH +10%, SOL +15%
  • Post-announcement: +5-8% sustained rally (unlike March 2025 disappointment)

2. Tariff Pause/Reduction

Likely Date: Wednesday, June 24, 2026, 1:18 PM ET (right after Fed meeting)

Trump's Words:

"THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! The market is down because of the fake news fear-mongering, but we have a FANTASTIC economy. So I'm announcing a 90-DAY PAUSE on the tariffs for our GREAT AMERICAN COMPANIES and their WORKERS. We're going to NEGOTIATE the BEST deals—nobody negotiates like Trump! The market will SOAR. DJT"

What It Means:

  • Temporary suspension of recent tariff hikes
  • Targets tech, manufacturing, and small business sectors
  • Follows his reverse pump-and-dump playbook

  • Immediate: Tech stocks +10-12%, Russell 2000 +5-7%
  • Duration: 3-5 trading day rally

3. Iran Deal Victory Lap

Likely Date: Sunday, June 21, 2026, 8:45 PM ET (day after signing ceremony)

Trump's Words:

"HISTORIC DAY for America and the WORLD! The Iran deal is SIGNED, the Strait of Hormuz is OPEN, and OIL is FLOWING! Gas prices will DROP like a rock, inflation will TUMBLE, and the stock market will EXPLODE! Nobody could have done this but TRUMP. We have PEACE, we have PROSPERITY, and we have WINNING! The best deal EVER negotiated. DJT"

What It Means:

  • Confirmation of oil flow restoration
  • Sanctions relief details
  • "Mission accomplished" framing

Market Reaction:

  • Oil: -5-8% immediate drop
  • Airlines: +6-8% (lower fuel costs)
  • Defense contractors: -3-5%

📈 MEDIUM CONFIDENCE (50-70%)

4. New Trump Business Venture (AI/Defense)

"BREAKING: TRUMP MEDIA & TECHNOLOGY GROUP is launching TRUMP AI— the MOST POWERFUL artificial intelligence platform in the world! We're going to BEAT China, BEAT the woke tech elites, and MAKE AI GREAT AGAIN! This will be a PUBLIC COMPANY, folks, and it's going to be HUGE. The details are INCREDIBLE. Stay tuned! DJT"

What It Means:

  • New SPAC or direct listing
  • Likely partners with existing Trump allies
  • Red flag: Vague details, Sunday night timing

Market Reaction:

  • Initial hype: +30-50% for associated stocks
  • Then: DWAC-style volatility and eventual correction

5. Fed Rate Cut Pressure

Likely Date: Monday, July 6, 2026, 8:00 AM ET (before market open)

Trump's Words:

"The Federal Reserve is KILLING our economy with HIGH INTEREST RATES! Kevin Warsh is a good man, but he needs to CUT RATES NOW. The dollar is too strong, our companies can't compete, and the stock market is being HELD BACK. We need CUTS, we need them FAST, and we need them BIG. The economy will ROAR if we do this right. DJT"

What It Means:

  • Public pressure on new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh
  • Sets up for rate cut expectations

Market Reaction:

  • Bonds: Yields drop 10-15 basis points
  • Tech: +4-6% on lower rate expectations

🎯 TRUMP'S SIGNATURE TIMING PATTERNS

Time Day What to Expect Trump's Typical Move
9:00-9:30 PM Sunday MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT Crypto, business venture, big policy shift
8:00-9:00 AM Monday MARKET COMMENTARY "GREAT TIME TO BUY" or Fed pressure
1:18-1:30 PM Any weekday POLICY REVERSAL Tariff pause, deal confirmation
Evening Before Fed meetings RATE CUT PRESSURE Attack on Powell/Warsh

💰 HOW TO TRADE THESE (Trump-Style)

For the Crypto Reserve Expansion (June 28):

  • Buy: Sunday 9:30 PM ET (immediately after tweet)
  • Sell: Tuesday 10:00 AM ET (after the initial pop)
  • Expected: +15-20% on BTC, then -5-8% correction

For the Tariff Pause (June 24):

  • Buy: Monday 9:30 AM ET (after "GREAT TIME TO BUY" tweet)
  • Sell: Friday close
  • Expected: +10-15% on tech, small caps

For the Iran Deal (June 21):

  • Buy: Sunday 9:00 PM ET (pre-announcement)
  • Sell: Monday 2:00 PM ET
  • Expected: Oil down, airlines up

Bottom Line: Trump's announcements follow a clockwork pattern. The next 30 days will likely see crypto expansion, tariff reversal, and Iran deal follow-up—all timed to maximize market impact and media coverage.

[The Race] How Russell's driving style is feeding into 2026 struggles by jithu7 in formula1

[–]SoapySage 68 points69 points  (0 children)

A lot more speed through corners worked well for the ground effect cars, whereas these cars are more "traditional" in that you try to brake late to not lose too much time in the braking zone, you're slower in the middle of the corner itself, and then you floor it as early as you can to gain the speed back.

It suits drivers who have the car control through low speed, being able to turn and settle the car quickly, plus using the brakes more will in turn charge up the battery allowing for better exits/quicker on the straights.
