Yeah, he's a salesman, made his pitch here giving the market exactly what it wanted in the short and medium term. Now people are worried something's wrong, and all they can see is Donald's still trying to sell it to us even harder.
It's a superficial relationship of the type he will have survived on this far, and once it's gone, that's it. For him it's usually just a matter of time to move onto the next perch.
Far smarter to come out over the weekend and say, the market's stabilised, but this is a long term problem. We would be foolish do to prevent it adjusting to reflect the reality of the next few months. However, we will be active in adressing technical hitches, and providing measures to prevent business failures in the short term where they are good for the medium and long term. Walk away, drop the whole issue. As it is, he's just at risk of continually pouring petrol and/or water onto the fire. Still, I plenty of his lot have made a bit on shorts and inside information.
