And the S&P falls off a cliff again.

i thought Trump was the most trusted and best person ever for the US economy?

he’s a clown but Americans seem to be lapping it up.

Things are red here too, ah well. I’m letting it sit but new investments will miss US stocks for sure and I’ll focus more on European.

His supporters offer no end of amusement, that's for sure

Ouch that's ugly.
Cue the chaos

Gutted I sold RR now, even though I made a bomb off them.

I bought a load of the defence sector on my trading 212 "play" account a short while ago, expecting that something like this might happen.

It would appear I'm a genious idiot

Looks like selling the S&P ETF's at £93 was a good idea, wonder if it will drop to £85 though?

Selling everything is the way to go. So much volatility.

no point selling at a dip if you plan to keep long term. It’ll recover sooner or later. Once dust settles

Not so sure on this one.
Things can get a lot lot worse than this.

Going to 85 seems very likely right now. I'm hoping it goes much lower as I'm holding 95% cash and want to layer back in when it hits 80

Absolute sea of red. What a great businessman that guy is.

I brought a large chuck in Novemeber at £91... It will go back up by the time I need it

Hmmm... Nvidia is now $109, tempted to buy

At first glance this is my thought too.

However it could all be a massive play for him and the knowledgeable to get even more richer. I might be giving him more credit than is due though.

I wouldn't be at all surprised tbh.

Possibly. Seeing the crypto bs he pulled. I would not be surprised if he’s messing around on purpose. Come next week and he’ll fix this and bam things will go green for a while..

Yea I have some things about 15% down. Probably a 1+ year hold at this point :/

I won't be buying anything now because it's looking like it will drop even further. This could go on for the whole Trump term tbh.

You gotta think how many yanks are losing millions of dollars from pensions and savings too, every close of day.
6 months of this and people are gonna start getting "shooty"
