The Trump Squeeze Continues; Banks Up 20% Over Past Two Days

This was easily the greatest and biggest short squeeze in recent history. Almost everyone thought stocks would get hammered after a Trump win, myself included. It just goes to show you how utterly useless conventional think is when investing.

Many bank stocks are up an astounding 20% over the past two days — based on a bullish fervor in regards to a removal of regulatory hurdles.

Bear in mind, the premise of this rally seems to be predicated on the notion that status quo will not only persist, but that big business will do ever better under a Trump administration.

Everyone wins if the economy grows faster than the recently prescribed 1.5%. But nothing has changed yet, except the fact that the CEO of America is a person who is uniquely equipped to help the country grow again.

Nevertheless, in order to make an omlette, you have to break a few eggs. This entire rally is going to be revoked in due course. It’s just awfully hard to do so ahead of National Feast Day.

  1. rigged game

    With the great Bill Ackman a big trump supporter, and Jamie Dimon
    of JP Morgan or Lloyd Blankfien of Citicorp on Trump’s short list for Treasury Secretary, what could go wrong?

    Gotta hand it to the libtards. Bigger asshats now then when gloating about there “sure thing”. Delusional to the point of insanity. One can feel the suicidal misery misplaced as advantage. It is a disease. God help us.

      Dude this is the biggest horseshit rally ever. The Man God will indeed vanquish the enemies. Remember this tape is as fake as the media. Lies lies lies then finally truth come Jan. Crazy times. Check Brazil for the effect of the Trump train.

          Just a simpleton that remembers the speech post Mexico visit during the campaign. They will say for about two months over and over that Trump was just kidding. Then the hammer comes down. Man of his word will seriously hurt the globalist names. We will see.

      round. What happened in the Middle East? Regime change overnight leads to hell and total chaos. One step at a time. Gotta have some faith. The trickery and lies will not stop until Jan. Could obviously be dead wrong.

    Presumably Fly stating Trump is “uniquely equipped” is a stab at Obama who said trump was “uniquely unqualified”?
