Markets Surge Based Off Another Trump Trade War Victory

My dreams of a crashing Dow have come to an end, unfortunately, thanks to Donald Trump and another trade war victory against China.

One could argue that believing in such rhetoric for the thousandth time is beyond silly, even fucking stupid. But it is what it is, isn’t it? Stocks are begging for a reason to jimmy higher. A Chinese trade deal is just around the bend, trust in Trump.

The Dow shot higher and is now +150. My opinions of whether these gains can stick are not conducive with your world views, so I’ll reserve them for later.

    You can only cry “Trade deal done” so many time before people stop belieiving it. “Surge” is a very generous description of the market’s reaction.

    I’m hoping that it’s enough to get SPY to 298 so that i can buy some puts at a better price.

    Where is SPY now?
