Trump insider trading speculationHttps://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/10/donald-trump-ignites-insider-trading-accusations-after-global-tariffs-u-turn |
Looking at the buybacks at the moment at least they are getting better value for money at the moment. It looks like taking the quoted issued shares and comparing with ADVFN's share count from last year end...I know I should have gone and checked the accounts instead....the shares are likely to be reduced about 5% by this accounts year end.
Question is , will that even be enough for EPS growth at all ?
Then will there be any impact on DPS ?
Got to say that given the cash burn from the BB I am not that hopeful. |
Surely most concentrated ability of all time to "manipulate markets" - a tweet here or there and the swings are enormous...
Anyone who could "guess" what's coming next and has the firepower could do very well....
On a totally unrelated point I was wondering last year just how anyone could be spending such fortunes on supporting Trumps election campaign. Surely there was no way they could ever get that back.... |

More likely his backers told him they had done well with their shorts and were now ready with their longs. Those with prior knowledge will be making several fortunes......yes I'm envious! |
Good day disc0
President Trump, who will eventually be known as 'Trump the Tremendous'knows exactly what he is doing. Unfortunately mere mortals such as you and I lack the required intelligence, foresight and understanding to fully appreciate his godlike wisdom. We can but place ourselves into the hands of a being possessed with such self proclaimed assuredness.
All Hail Trump!!!
In the meantime keeping track of gaps on AHT and the indices is almost a full time task. The volatility is excellent for trading but you do have to be informed and focussed. Anyone short and without a stop loss when the news of tariff suspension was released yesterday would likely have been 'wiped out'. |
Trump - 90 day pause on tariffs except for China.Raising China tariff to 125% - the guy isn't wired up right IMO. |
Nasdaq up 7% |
Back down we go sure was a dead cat bounce yesterday. Could see £30 very soon. |
Good day uppompeii
You mean it's only two arms and two legs? |
Dead cat bounce today folk will be selling into any rises. |
bracke...tis but a flesh wound... |
Could see £25 at this rate. |
Futures off 4 or 5% currently. |
Huge fall on the Dow tonight doesn't bode well for Monday across all indexes. |
Good day Mr bLooks a dead cert -20% thanks to the Tango man!.....74 days in office and bump :( |
Good day disc0
Oil also falling. It's unusual for oil and gold to move in the same direction but we are in unusual times.
S&P500 is gradually moving to a 20% drop from the high.
Inflation appears to have given way to thoughts of recession. |
Good day Mr bWas tempted to capitulate today but the hound persuaded me to buy some other stocks instead.He likes shiny things too, but gold seems to be going down in sympathy (well the SGLN ETC I was looking at....will wait to see if it bounces off the SMA200).Back to the bench to sulk :) |
Good day uppompeii
Best hope there is nothing nasty to nip it off!
Mr Powell speaks later. I think (which is dangerous) the market would like a rate reduction.... so would Mr Trump. |
Good afternoon, bracke.I have dipped my toe... |
Good day disc0
I hope you have your laptop with you whilst hiding from the carnage. At least it's nice and sunny for your outdoor living.
You may now get what you have long wanted.....rate reduction. Granted it's all a little 'bloody' but as the saying goes 'every little helps'.
Something else to look forward to is the filling of the gaps to the upside.
Viewing the chart, yes I know it's not a pretty sight. I have to report support at 3964 has succumbed and 3743 has been pierced.
Apart from the foregoing all is ok.
On a slightly different note my thoughts this morning were about those traders who have never seen a full on bull reversal before and have been caught out.
EDIT - Please note "a full on bull reversal' is not a bull market which is characterised by a 20% drop from a recent peak. As of today the S&P500 Futures are down 15.85%.
AHT DAILY |
£30 a certainty now. |
Friday Dead Cat. |
