Trump has been a force for good - see your investment accounts.

Far too much hate out there for the man.

How much of the US stock market rise is down to Trump?
Every time he takes to Twitter to announce more tariffs the US stock market drops.

But then again the likes of Amazon are like a neutron bomb for British High Streets yet pay zilch in UK tax...But no chance of "Britain First" and hitting the the likes of Amazon with tax demands

Well yes but the biggest problem for the High Streets is high rents. We live in a rent-extracting economy posing as free enterprise.

A well timed post as we see another day today of market jitters due to trade wars.

I should imagine there will be no trade war come election day, the US fed will have been arm twisted into reducing interest rates further and a nice bubble will have been created. It may be good advice to sell everything the day after Trump is re-elected, we all know what happens to manufactured bubbles :eek:

And no doubt the money men backing Trump will have shorted stock as they'd have known about this before the rest of us..."Drain the swamp" anyone :whistle:

trump's imbecile tweets has wiped billions off company valuations and he's created the global slowdown. The man's a danger to every share owner.

Depends what you call trade war.
Trump will still be a 'Tariffs Man' for political reasons - because its a stealth tax.
Even more stealthy than VAT because it doesn't show separately on the price of goods. He can claim China is paying it.

Luckily for me I only have 14% of my Investment funds portfolio invested in the UK so there's some decrease in my profits.

However the only shares I hold Lloyds (since 1986!!) and RBS (since 2008) shares have just about been completed in my nominee account holding out till next week to see if they bump back up if not they are gone. They are gone anyway come what may.

update: I sold them and lost about £500 in the time that I transferred and sold them hey such is life but I'm shot of them now. To those who still hold them, I wish you all the best of luck, sayonnara.

I'm sure when he starts a trade war it affects the stock market in one way - going down, not up.
