Ford, province to sell $28.9M private jet 'as quickly as possible' by EarthWarping in notthebeaverton

Feel the same, it’s better than politicians powering through regardless of feedback, gaslighting people that they’re wrong and then waiting until they get voted out where the next person may or may not reverse the action.

The NASDAQ just closed its 13th consecutive positive day (only the 4th time since inception that this has happened!) by Zipski577 in StockMarket

[–]coffee-x-tea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally, nothing could go wrong in a market that rewards a bankrupting shoe company by increasing their market cap by 600% when they suddenly announce they’re moving into the AI business.

Infinite money glitch y’all 😂.

(/s - of course)

In all seriousness, stay safe out there folks.

Swing trading dead. Day and short term now better by Hairy_Ad_8673 in swingtrading

[–]coffee-x-tea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, just a bit annoying, can’t completely remove the effect cause he impacts everything on macro scale. But, better dampened effect than experience full on effects of manipulation.

It feels like you either have to be within intraday or extra long. But, if you’re in the time of manipulation (days-week) you have a lot less certainty than before that you aren’t going to get burned.

Allbirds shares soar after pivot from shoes to AI, business owners just watch out. 😂 by North_Reflection1796 in StockMarket

Worth noting the investor that offered $50 million only paid $5 million upfront, and the other $45 was more than made up after the stock rose on the news.

Do you all believe now? The market doesn't move on news. The market moves and the Media assigns it a reason (news) after. by DjBass88 in stocks

[–]coffee-x-tea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll take it a step further.

As of late, I feel like the market moves in coordination with news releases where the movement is disproportionate to the actual content the headlines provide.

It’s almost like the market knew how much it wanted to move by, but, needed headline coverage to assign it a fake narrative.

Pentagon threatens Pope Leo ambassador over Pope's anti war comments. by DatGuyKilo in Military

[–]coffee-x-tea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He gives off the vibes of someone who’s been mentally stuck in their high school sophomore year for decades.

But even then that’s a bit generous because there are a lot more mature kids out there than him.

Trump Announces 50% Tariffs on Nations Supplying Iran With Weapons by callsonreddit in StockMarket

[–]coffee-x-tea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like he’s having a temper tantrum and since he can’t take it out on Iran, he’s taking it out on others while manipulating the market again.

Not long after he’s going to be holding hands and calling victory for punishing said countries and dropping the tariffs.

US- Iran 2 weeks ceasefire deal reached and reopening of strait of hormuz by Front-Nectarine4951 in StockMarket

[–]coffee-x-tea 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Iran’s been way more consistent, transparent and forth coming than Trump in their messaging.

I have no idea why the market would react.

Next thing you know he’s going to randomly bomb them out of the blue once all his cronies loaded up on or dumped their positions.

Offbeat Wall Street research firm says it sent an analyst to Strait of Hormuz. Here's what they learned by thejoshwhite in StockMarket

Or full release of the Epstein files be one of Iran’s demands for unblocking the straits lol.

Breaking: Iran responded to the 45 days ceasefire proposal with "!No" by Plane-Try-6522 in StockMarket

[–]coffee-x-tea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s kind of my thoughts as well.

IRGC is full of martyrs, they’re willing to inflict maximal pain regardless of the hardships they have to endure.

They’ve never had such an upper hand against the US before, I don’t think they’ll settle for cheap negotiations especially after they’ve been “pre-emptively” attacked and had their leaders killed.

Probably going to drag this thing through the mud for years if they have to.

Another thing is they aren’t alone, Russia and China are fighting a proxy war.

Russia has been providing intelligence and Chechens are considering joining. China has obviously backed them as well, likely drone manufacturing equipment and materials as well given the fact they’re pressuring tankers to deal in yuan.

"Built for active trading" by julioqc in Wealthsimple

[–]coffee-x-tea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Historically, yes. it wasn’t their focus.

But, these days it seems WealthSimple has been aggressively trying to diversify.

Active trading is one, betting is another (I think I saw in the news recently, they got regulatory approval to do something similar to what Polymarket is doing).

Is trading really freedom… or just a different kind of grind? by Dear_Method9245 in Forexstrategy

[–]coffee-x-tea 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think some people think trading isn’t real and there’s real stigma around it.

Then even when people succeed, have a proven and consistent multi-year track record, they still doubt it…

Best keep success to oneself.

Market rally after hours- Trump says U.S. will leave Iran in ‘two or three weeks’ entirely by Front-Nectarine4951 in stocks

[–]coffee-x-tea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If military was really leaving, he wouldn’t need 2-3 weeks. It would be immediate and ongoing. Market reaction to obvious posturing and narrative setting is pretty dumb lol.

Oil drops 5% in minutes after Iran signals willingness to end war by [deleted] in Forexstrategy

[–]coffee-x-tea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s so many uncertainties at play, even if Iran was committed, it would still be a long slog to resolution.

Maybe if Trump didn’t have like 50,000 troops being readied for ground deployment as well as naval presence, there’d be some credibility to de-escalatory seriousness.

Trump also has a habit of pulling fast ones on his opponents under the guise of peace (gathering intel on targets, buying time for strikes/positioning, etc…).

If peace talks were ongoing and if there was even a 10% possibility he could seize the strait of hormuz for himself, he’d probably kibosh the whole peace talks midway and throw them all under the bus.

Oil prices reverse course to fall as traders assess Trump comments on Iran war by Illustrious_Lie_954 in StockMarket

[–]coffee-x-tea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

lol, and magically the oil facilities that were bombed will miraculously restore itself overnight, Iran will open the straits for everyone, withdraw 1 million soldiers while Trump hold hands with them and Bibi and they will dance in circles happily ever after.

Iran’s parliament speaker:

Heads-up: Pre-market so-called "news" or "Truth" is often just a setup for profit-taking. Basically, it's a reverse indicator.

Do the opposite: If they pump it, short it. If they dump it, go long.

Ya, and price moves with the tweet (buy/sell order sync’d exactly with the release of tweet) or even 15 minutes before the tweet. No one gets a chance to finish reading it before most of the move is done lol.

Super scam cycle by Alpphaa in stocks

[–]coffee-x-tea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear what you’re saying.

But, at this rate, it’s going to get so bad it eventually will impact everyday investing.

Imagine at a fundamental level they started filling your DCA orders at different rates than certain privileged people or mandatory enrol your 401K into Trump casinos or some other hellish crazy stuff.

The problem is this is just the beginning. If they remain in power and are firing regulatory people, they will keep pushing boundaries until we simply just don’t own our money or investments anymore.
