Tweet away Mr. President I’m sitting on cash I need an opportunity to buy some stock.

What do you expect? realDonaldTrump is a cancer for the American people...

It’s up 70% since the election. Impossible.

One of my favorite charts of the Trump Presidency

Or, DJT tweets a lot on days the stock market falls.

👎 CNBC. Yet, when President Trump speaks and does, stocks go UP, so how the heck do you figure that? Fake news, day in and day out = CNBC.

The TrumpTwit Index has fallen a bit, so the Stock Market was up last week.

Then buy on tweet days.

Lol. Oh yes it has failed so bad since November 2016, when it was 10000 points LOWER that right now.

Especially when he starts bullying people for attacking him and his family. And also when he starts threatening other countries like China with increasing the tariffs on imports.

What does Bill think? We worship Bill Gates. Bill Gates is our leader. Bill Gates uses attractive shampoo. Bill Gates read 10 books today. Bill Gates told me God lives in my peanut butter and jelly sandwich. All mighty Bill Gates please deliver us. Bill Gates inspires us daily.

He's been tweeting a lot lately and the stock market has been on fire. fakenews

Whatever he’s doing he needs to keep doing it- market is up 50% since he was elected

And that is only leg he has to stand on, bad move

😃 😃 😃

He will continue to try to ruin the stock market so investors will be more likely to invest in real estate instead

So they didn’t notice before? 🤔

Thats news worthy? SHUT UP.

His only goal is to manipulate the markets! This can’t be legal!! His fear speak is another way he is trying to manipulate us!! Stating if he’s not re elected the market will be down!! This is his only card game left. Fear and hate! Please impeach this idiot ASAP

Trump is not fit to service the nation, bad for the stock market unless you like rollercoasters. Let me explain...USA is like a 'brain' & Trump is like a very bad idea. He reminds you of a first grader playing the schoolteacher. A 5yr old driving a real Tonka truck. No vote.

Forgot about this huh?

On days I drink milk people die.... Trump tweets every day.... grow up.

Now why did a firm need to do a study, when that is simple logic?

The true correlation is that the more Trump tweets, the more idiotic shit he says/does. America would be better off if he sat in a dark room with no cell phone until is term expires.

Holy shit! How many quants did it take to figure out that brain buster!?

Good

Could’ve done this on excel not working for an investment bank 😶

And he’ll never learn that lesson.

Duh!!

Or maybe it's your negative tweets and hyperbole reporting ? That's what my study found

Get a life and stop the madness

ImpeachTrumpNow

To me, that says far more about the fraud that is the stock market.

sergenyt So if I’m a family member or advisor, I short some stocks, stoke his fears on a day with not much on the schedule, and collect my profits. We need to know who’s trading on Trump’s market-moving behaviors.

He's doing it purposely...🙄 it's his constant urge to control... I don't see how this is any different than insider trading 🤷‍♀️

It's called insider trading. Good.

Yep

Trump is short and the sec getting closer.

President Trump keeping America Great.

Really.

That's why he tweet's so much crap, he WANT'S the market to fall. Destroy your enemy from within eh Comrade Donald ?

realDonaldTrump get off Twitter. Not only for the Stock Market but because you embarrass yourself, the American people and our Country. DumpTrump

It is outrageous that he can manipulate stock market ups and downs. This should be investigated!

Well all know this! Because his Tweets are full of really bad ideas that will hurt business, and more broadly the U.S. They are the Twitterings of a mad man. Like Mad King George with a Twitter account.

Bendim zero👹😂🔺👁️👌

MarieTitus9 And the securities and exchange commission is doing what?

Probably on purpose

Yes..buy the dips
