Truly incredible:

2. Fed Chair Powell now: It is "too soon" to determine the appropriate policy path.

WOW.

On Thursday, hedge funds sold stocks at the largest 1-day amount since 2010.

Meanwhile, retail investors bought $4.7 BILLION of stocks on Thursday, a 10+ year high.

Today, the S&P 500 has erased another -$1.5 trillion of market cap, bringing 2-day losses to -$3.5 trillion.

Did retail just get trapped by Wall Street?

President Trump posted this video today:

"Trump is crashing the stock market by 20% this month, but he's doing it on purpose."

"Why is he doing this? To push cash into treasuries."

Our followers have known about this for 3 months, but he's now explicitly stating it. https://t.co/4akpzm2LAw
