MVST up 13% today, hit 4! Looks like they are going to make it into the Russell 2000, draft list announced after the bell today which sounds like it's been leaked somewhere

Missed my notification for this rise.
Probably got more legs with the latest results.
 
Just have to look at it for what it is...
50% tariffs on EU? Lol that won't last long but it doesn't need to.

The threat just needs to be there so he can buy back cheap shares, the same shares that he probably sold 3 days ago.

Tidy profit.

It may not last long but it’s challenging the EU’s relatively closed market. Anything they do give way on will be offered to other countries with free trade agreements so it will erode its strength.

The EU is not a soft touch though, like many might think, slow and steady to react, with measured actions, sure, but they don't do blackmail, which is Trumps modus operandi.

Think of trump like a school yard bully..if you give him your lunch money, he'll keep taking your lunch money every day.
Give him a good smack in the teeth and he'll move on to an easier target.

Not being a soft touch is probably why Trump has responded this way with more tariffs. I wonder if they will try to escalate more (both EU and Trump).

I imagine there will be a lot of 'sabre rattling' and brinkmanship over the next week or so... what actually happens though... probably not a lot.
But that suits trump just fine, as you can easily buy the dips if you are the one creating the dips in the market.
 
It's a bit like the China thing.. once you increase tariffs that much it's pretty much meaningless, the tariffs may as well be a million% as 50% - the net result will just shut down trade alltogether for both parties, because its not worth it for companies to sell thier goods to each other any more.

So bored of the world having to jump when he says. It's so bloody pathetic.
Makes me wanna use an exclamation mark or say a swear word.
Something has to snap for real.
 
The markets seem to have realised that it's mainly all bluff and bluster so have hopefully priced in most of the stupid for now.
