How Do They Get Their Market Capitalization Back...

So, with Trump doing his best to make a mockery of the USAs stalwart corporations, how do they get their market cap back after his derogatory tweets? If he doesn't follow through on his Air Force One and F-35 cost complaints, where does that leave Boeing and Lockheed other than screwed by a nincompoop?

As a follow up: If the financial people are so smart why are they responding so negatively to what amounts to a twitter masturbatory exercise? As far as I know, automatic trading doesn't have enough intelligence to react to nocturnal twitter emissions.

Why then, are you here?

I am not trolling, I would like to hear people's opinions.

They wait a week or two. Isn't that how it normally works?

In the LR, really?

I also wonder if anyone is placing any 'bets' on certain stocks prior to Trump's 'tweets'.

Financial people aren't always smart though. Remember, those same financial geniuses were collateralising mortgages and betting everything that housing prices always go up, or selling future electricity contracts and recognising the revenue in advance, or advising people that investing in companies like GM was safer than US treasuries. Financial people can be just as stupid as people who run the country on Twitter.


They are simply placing bets on the market movement and with so many people thinking a President controls the entire stock market, they are being smart by betting on dumb people.

Shouldn't that caption read 'We're going hunting in Urbania...'?
