stock market crash

He appears to want to sign a cheque personally to each American again. Just ahead of the election. How transparent can it get?

He's desperate. Very desperate. He knows if he loses then there will be years of investigations into his actions over the past 4 years with potentially prison time.

Animals are at their most dangerous when desperate and cornered. Expect more of this from Trump right up to the election result.

I know sterling has taken a battering since 2016, but hadn't realised it had bombed to £15 per $2

What price a piece of history. I am tempted to buy one as a souvenir to pass onto my grandkids. Will go nicely with my Nazi memorabilia collection.

He's rolled the put option forward (extended it) until the end of November.

I hope he can come out of it without too much damage. (I know, I'm a bit of a softy me. )

US elections on the 3rd November, but if Biden wins then he won’t get sworn in till the 20th Jan.

Not sure either way what’s going to drop the market to 5500 never mind 4500.

Actually...edited...the “Trump factor”...in which case anything is possible.

Civil war would probably do it.

I think what happens to Trump will have little or no influence on the FTSE 100.

According to poopsies, Covid had no infulence.

Maybe, but the FTSE will react to the US markets, so if the US markets react to Trump then the UK, EU and Asia markets will react accordingly.

Now, could be that if money comes out of US markets it will go into other markets and they rise .... or it could be all markets go the same direction.

With current polls showing Trump losing by some margin the long term feelings are kind of positive ..... it's the next month that is worrying people as no one likes uncertainty.

If the put is real, then his $420K crypto winnings is real right?

A bloke you meet down the pub says he makes a killing in the markets. He recounts $420k of winning trades he's made.

He says he's just bought $250k of XXX. You follow XXX for the next few weeks and it's losing badly.

Which do you think is real?

FTSE 100 collapse was written in when it became clear trade with out nearest customers when thrown into oblivion.

The virus only popped the speculative bubble, but was not the cause. Not to mention all the debt.

Prepare yourselves for bail in.
