"Trade Deal" Manipulation....

[Scataphagos]

Have you noticed that when something potentially negative about trade is mentioned, the markets now basically deflect and ignore that "news", but when a positive is mentioned the market pops to the upside? Sounds like a great market manipulation! (Sort of like earnings... companies pre-announce/downgrade earnings estimates... and the market mostly ignores that news. But when the earnings report "beats lowered estimates", the market/issue pops to the upside.)

Don't expect the trade thingy to be resolved in any way prior to the 2020 election. It's too good of a manipulation tool.

finally someone woke up and saw it... I posted a few times... market going higher regardless, and it has been since the trade war... and it is a great tool for shaking the tree and get the loose chips (shares) off.

Bull markets always discount bad news. This is a reliable test for the markets's risk tolerance. Its not manipulation, its just the way the market works.

Always read financial news with eyes & mind closed
so that our minds are not contaminated.

Most news are inaccurate, biased, slow, distorted, worthless, & nonsensical.
Also target audience for the news is always not defined. 99% of all news are not meant for traders.

Market "reversion-to-mean" motion is not a pendulum, but a brick-on-a-spring, full of sticktion and bounce. Right now, it *happens* to be storing up all that energy to the left (upside) of the distribution. But when it breaks to the downside (when the market hits "flush"), everybody with a hint of bad news will add that skepticism to the market motion, and we'll plunge downward.

"And so it goes..."

While true about bull markets discounting/deflecting bad news... wasn't exactly my point.

Definitely no deal until after the election is over. Everyone thinks there will be a trade negotiation but they are far far far away from any deal.
