Really? And who artificially manipulated the markets for her? THINK about the circumstances.
I buy low all the time, but nobody is telling me when to be ready, and we don't have the promise that the markets will rebound. Sheesh.
Trump administration exempts phones, computers, CPUs, memory, and chipmaking tools from sweeping tariffs

Prove it. Nobody else could. Take a shot. Even if it were true, insider trading is one thing, market manipulation is deadly serious.

Is America great/wealthy/rich/feared again yet?
Since January, those things need to be checked daily.
How this works:
Insider trading - Wikipedia
TL;DR: Congressmen have insider information based on which laws are about to be passed which can/will tank/boost company stocks. They pre-emptively act by going long or short accordingly.
Visa's Courtship of Nancy Pelosi
Her campaign coffers, a former aide, and her husband’s stock portfolio were rewarded.
TL;DR: in 2008 Visa tried to cozy up to the Pelosis and invited them to a lucrative IPO of $44. Within a few DAYS the shares the 5,000 shares they bought were worth an EXTRA $100k. Pelosi declined to push forward legislation that would negatively impact Visa (a bill that would allegedly address swipe fees).
Pelosi's portfolio is consistently up at around 50-60% YoY (I think one year was over 90% recently). That's 5x better than the avg S&P500. Every hedge fund manager in the world will tell you that consistent 60% returns are impossible, that getting lucky and have 30-35% for a year or two is about as good as it gets.

Few weeks ago I said Maga was using the bear market as a buying opportunity but if you only listen to bias news that was fear mongering and telling you to sell.low and buy high while the wall street cronies did the opposite somehow is inside trading. 
This is trending now.

No ****.
I find it interesting because if Kamala had won the election and was doing the same thing all the people complaining would be justifying all these same moves.
Last week everyone was pissed because iPhones were going to be $3000 due to tariffs. Now he announced those products are exempt and people are pissed that they won't be $3000?
Seriously just wtf is wrong with you guys? Just admit that no matter what you're going to go against the man because of your party bias and hate

Apparently you and your Orange Overlord want 'merkins to be the slaves making *expensive* junk instead.
BTW Sure overseas-made Apple stuff *is* junk but never heard it being called cheap before. But then again, its products are aimed at the braindead....

-I'd have it the other way actually: Donald needs to actually go to work for the American people on domestic issues instead of injecting himself into tech news via clown brained trade policy.
If you don't want Trump articles on Techspot, write a letter to your czar asking him to get himself out of Tech politics...
Crazy concept: Maybe we shouldn't be sending 100s of Billion$ worth of our (sometimes) sensitive IP every year to the hostile CCP and then allowing them to sell products (some critical to our national security) back to us.
Wild idea: Maybe instead of us sustaining third-world slavery, we should modernize (read: automate) manufacturing by bringing it home and then maybe even for example start building iPhones with robots instead of people. Let's at least do it to our standards and create jobs here.
Or would you prefer a more regressive stance? If you take away the excavators and hand 1000 people a spoon, you can now say you've created 1000 jobs. Communist playbook 101. Seems fitting for a CCP bot.

QUOTING MY FIRST POST:
Even if it were true, insider trading is one thing, market manipulation is deadly serious.
And tRUMP keeps doing it. Threaten trade partners, market drops. Let your friends buy as they choose. Back off, market rebounds. Friends make big bank in a matter od days.
MTG just got greedy and got caught.
Read slowly. You are boring me.
EDIT:
And it's not that I am ok with the "everybody does it" BS with insider trading. I know that.
It's just that market manipulation, not to mention multiple times, is not just in its own league, it's in a whole new realm.

I will say, it does have the toxic political Karens reveal themselves for an "Ignore". Cleans up most articles for me, where they would otherwise go out of their way to inject their hate/politics.
That said, TS still seems to be encouraging it for the clicks. Which is sad to see them keep going lower as time goes on...
@opckieran
And low and behold brother. Just a little while ago, the trump admin. said the tech tariff exemptions are temporary! It would be sad if it weren't so damn pitiful.

My God, the White House is base for the biggest crime syndicate the US has ever seen.
You know, we could all work together to stop the fleecing if CONServatives would wake up and smell your rotten tangerine.

Trump admin already walks back smartphone, laptop tariff exemption
According to Trump's Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, smartphone tariff relief is only temporary.

Saw a tik tok the other day that went viral from a chinese guy.
He laughed and said "how many american made things do you think I have in my house?" - The answer is 0. Now go ask yourself the same question.
How do you think tariffs are going to "hurt" china and "help" America?
I love how every MAGA is now an arm chair expert on how tariffs work. And for the record, I dont claim to be. I just listen to real economists and folks who know about this topic and every single one is calling this out as absolute BS that will not help the average American.
Reagan even stated as such (MAGA ironically ignores this) and history shows it with the great depression.

via JD Vance just last week “To make it a little more crystal clear, we borrow money from Chinese peasants to buy the things those Chinese peasants manufacture.” Most people agree Chinese manufacturer workers get paid very little but it seems the "peasants" make a whole lot more since we take out loans from them to buy iphones and laptops and furniture off wayfair.
