I do like that he has presented the stock market performance on a log base 10 scale which more clearly shows the volatility.

He needs to change it to Mr Bullshit for that to be true.

Yep. Dow and SP500 futures currently down around 1.5%, although that may be priced in to the FTSE already.
think he's a city fan as well. not Trump btw !
FFS!
The American markets are down again in early trading.
And. It's not 125%, it's.....
China tariffs stand at 145%, White House confirm published at 16:56
The tariffs imposed on Chinese goods coming into the US is at 145%, the White House has clarified.
On Wednesday, Trump said he was hiking the levy to 125%.
However, the administration has just confirmed that figure did not include a pre-existing tariff of 20%, which is being added on top - bringing the total to 145%, higher than we thought previously.
We'll bring you more on this shortly.

The US markets have lost 50% of yesterday's gains
The FTSE finished 3% up today and will probably kick off tomorrow losing half of that and then it'll be a waiting game for the US markets to open
It's just utter turmoil

Pile into tech shares if you have the money. Apple, etc, shares are going to soar next week.

Trump exempts smartphones and computers from new tariffs
It follows concerns that tech prices could skyrocket, as many gadgets are made in China, with the US president saying he will give more detail on Monday.

I’m not convinced there will be a huge lift on this news as trump is still an unpredictable loon.

This is almost day trading. Not for me and it shouldn't be part of a long term imvestment strategy. I'm sure most investors on here have some/lots of exposure to the tech sector through funds and therefore will benefit should a rise as you suggest occur. If you've got spare cash then by all means fill your boots, but which company and how much may be key.Pile into tech shares if you have the money. Apple, etc, shares are going to soar next week.

After a sharp rise in the first hour of trading on Monday, most tech stocks are well down on the week so far.
Gold is where it’s at. Safe haven in a sea of uncertainty. Take your pick from actual physical gold or gold miners.
Non-US defence companies are another good option. With the world getting more dangerous and the US getting more unreliable, governments are looking for non-US defence suppliers to meet their defence equipment needs and it’s the only area where budgets are increasing in real terms.

Yes, they can't print gold. The most valuable monetary commodity ever since it was first mined. Religions and Royalty gained it in abundance whereas the rest of us would have had to be satisfied with the possibility of owning a Krugerand or two.
I seem to recall a Blackadder sketch where one of the characters, either Baldrick or Percy, tried to create liquid gold but instead 'invented ' green!
A comical way of saying that gold is finite.

An aside of the subject but Blenheim Palace had an 18 carat gold toilet which was stolen a few years ago. Obviously melted down before the collectors got a hold of it.
Just a strong vindaloo.
