The Stock Market "Elephant Stampede" [1]

Although Trump has done history in reverse, making tariffs, and then the stock market crash, re-inventing 1929/1930 descent into disaster, but we need to look at the nature of the Stock Market. The really big ‘players’, the hedge funds and big brokerage firms profit regardless of stock movements, they profit with timely and carefully crafted manipulations. The other big animals, pension funds, mutual funds, and smaller banks and insurance companies, are run by accountants, who use computers to manage large amounts of other people's money. They are narrow minded, and easily panicked, when their computer programs say “sell” they sell, creating the above mentioned ‘elephant stampede’. In fact, ‘the market’ has been overvalued for years, and a ‘technical adjustment’ AKA profit rakeoff has been due for a while, the current meltdown is not that, however, Trump has found the magic of his casinos in national scale, in his attempt to bully the world to meet his desires.
