The business community is giddy with excitement about the @realDonaldTrump administration. I am hearing this from everyone, including from people who didn’t vote for Trump.
Business confidence is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Business leaders are becoming more confident about the country and the economy. This means they will be making more investments in our future which will drive the economy and the stock market, reducing the cost of capital and bolstering confidence further, catalyzing more investment and more growth in a self-reinforcing, virtuous cycle.
Merger and acquisition activity is about to explode as there are an enormous number of deals that have been deferred pending a more favorable regulatory environment for transactions. M&A will drive efficiency, greater profitability and growth. It will also enable the return of capital to investors who will seek to redeploy their profits and proceeds in new investment opportunities.
The DOGE and deregulation will drive government efficiency and make America a vastly better and lower-risk place to do business efficiently and effectively.
I am also hearing about non-US companies that are desperate to immediately create a presence on U.S. soil. They are frightened to be locked out of the most important economy in the world. They will build factories and make new investments here to avoid the risk of tariffs and because they don’t have a better place to invest capital.
China’s economy is in trouble. Europe’s is a mess. The U.S. has now become by far the best country for investment.
Growth is about to explode.
Justice prevails.
Meanwhile, none of the many short sellers who egregiously manipulated Tesla stock for years and lied repeatedly on TV have been prosecuted. Not one.
@larryvc@larryvc No Cow Bars and Quest Bars are both very good! As are Fulfil bars. I hope this helps! Unfortunately a lot of other ones are just glorified candy bars so you have to be careful.
Yesterday the former SEC chair said that RoaringKitty manipulated $GME GameStop shares by tweeting memes.
Yet today Senator Tommy Tuberville is trading options on companies he legislates and Pelosi's portfolio hits all time highs.
But silence from the SEC chair.
In pre-market trading, there's much less off-exchange trading. Look at how dramatically 14% off-exchange trading impacts the price. Maybe we should have most trading on-exchange, not off.
@Bulldoozah77@147Aurora and even if people disagree with the thesis in the main post, I see absolutely zero downside for retail fighting for proceeds. I don't understand why anyone is against it or wants to sit on their hands.
The type of stock I get most excited about: micro/small cap, at or near their all-time lows, no or negative institutional coverage, written off and forgotten by most people, market I understand, and quietly doing a turnaround that no one is paying attention to.
