Is Trump Manipulating the Stock Market? What Can You Do?
He was manipulating the market for the benefit of his millionaire and billionaire friends. When that lightbulb went off, I said, Oh. I can do this, too! I started day trading on his insane tweets. I'd never been more successful
Now, he's back. And he's doing the same thing. But of course, much worse. His policies are reckless and dangerous. How can we have a businessman who understands so little about business WHO IS ALSO President and understands so little about government?
Oh well, that isn't the point.
The point is, we can take advantage too. On a shorter timeline, I'm taking advantage of any day when the markets are down over 500 points. And I'm being very cautious because I DO believe markets will go lower over the next four years.

when I say we'd all be rich, I'm referring to the fact that social security wouldn't be deep in the red and would be in the black. Instead, the program will not be able to fund itself here within 2 generations.

"Once the reserves are depleted, an estimated 77 percent of scheduled benefits would continue to be payable from tax receipts alone."

Personally, I'd prefer to get 77% of my benefits under the current system, than 0% if and when the stock market crashes. All the while enriching stockbrokers with a cut, and who bring zero value to the process.
if you idiots hadn't stopped Bush from privatizing social security we'd all be [fudging] rich bc it would have been tied to the stock market. [...] Just look at any 20 year chart on the S&P 500 and you'll get your proof on the stupidity of trying to argue this.

And what happens when there's a recession and the market decreases in value? Or if we have to increase interest rates, such as for inflation, resulting in a decrease in stock values? And when a large portion of the populace retires at the same time, liquidating their assets and decreasing stock prices?
Peeps should hold off on retiring for another five-ten years until it recovers? And the folks who have already retired should get their 90 year old butts back into the workforce?
Chile's privatized social security system, beloved by U.S. conservatives, is falling apartSocial security isn't there to make people rich. It's there to prevent people from starving in the streets when they become old or disabled. Which used to happen with great frequency before it came into being.

Trump's stock market manipulation and stock shorting will make him billions.
Not a peep from the GOP, as he rips off retirees.
