funny how you always forget to mention when the stock market jumps up because of great economic news, but do the usual panic reporting when a situation causes it to drop. oh right, a Republican ordered the attack on the Terrorist in Iraq.
Like anything is going to happen today. Stock market is so fickle. 🙄. Ridiculous knee jerk reactions.
They will rebound once ya’ll realize this was one of the smartest things to do!

Just curious. Whatever happened to all of those anti war Trump supporters? Have you seen them around?
THAT IS JUST THE BEGINNING TOO. TRUMP JUST FUCKED THE USA WITH HIS ACT OF WAR THAT HE DID NOT EVEN CONSULT CONGRESS. H DESERVES TO BE HANDED OVER TO IRAN.
Yet yesterday, Lockheed, Raytheon, and all military-industrial stocks FUCKING SOARED just before market closure. Almost there is insider trading taking place and people knew in advance🤔
Oh my God is it the end?
What’s the net gain/loss since Trump took office?
やっぱり～
FAKE NEWS. They are up since the open today.
