A group of 14 Democratic senators is asking federal agencies including the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to probe possible market manipulation timed to President Donald Trump's comments on trade talks with China and other events.

That said, they should also look at the options trade that took place before Hillary CLinton made her Epipen comment a few years ago
Idiots need to look in the mirror. Of course, they KNOW they are doing it so they assume the President is, too.
I suspect one of these days a bunch of DemocRATs will ask the DOJ to investigate a whistle blowers claim Pres. Trump uses too much toilet paper when he takes a crap.
Well, we know he lied about China to try to stabilize the market at least one time.
If he didn’t profit from it in terms of a short term trade then I don’t have a problem. I am sure Presidents have lied about all kinds of things for various reasons.
A clear sign that the Ukraine phone call phase of the coup is over and tbey are on to something else.
A Vanity Fair story suggesting traders made billions front-running geopolitical events failed to pass the smell test among Wall Street professionals. Here’s how Chicago’s CME Group is responding.
POTUS has AUTHORITY, LOTS OF IT. The DemonicRats' CRIMINALIZING TRUMP'S AUTHORITY HAS GOT TO STOP!!!
Gloves OFF, people!
ALL Congressmen and women! And their staff!
And their family members!
Bet if they did that, this whole idea would be dropped like a rock.
If you are out there, it is now time to drop the hammer and send all these Deep State mofos to the gallows.
I am waiting for that emergency alert on my phone. I am prepared. I have 10 totes of food, water, medical equipment, and a generator.
So please, release the Kraken!
MrTopStep on Twitter used to work the floor in Chicago. Going to watch to see if he chimes in once the news circulated.
Exactly. It HAS been looked into and no funny business was found.
Someone always knows something and is out there trading on it despite all the SEC rules.
I follow people on twitter that watch for Unusual option activity trying to tail those that might know.
For example, Bed Bath and Beyond has had some unusual activity. I am not going to trade this one. Just going to watch to see what happens. That trader has already doubled his money today if he sold out
Sometimes that options just go up in value because of the volume so you have to be careful how you time it.
Considering Trump is always making comments or Tweets, they are going to be busy.
Democrats have without fail used the Alinsky, “accuse your would be accuser of precisely your own crimes, thus innoculating yourself from any scrutiny” with incredible consistency.
The Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act, enacted April 4, 2012, prohibits members and employees of Congress from using “any nonpublic information derived from the individual’s position ... or gained from performance of the individual’s duties, for personal benefit”.
Also, watching the market buys and others jumping in, will increase the chances of a profit.
Any fool knows if Trump says Trade talks are going good by the DOW and if he says there going badly shot the DOW..
The market and its players is quite simple. There are bulls, bears and cover traders. Bulls are optimistic. They see a volatile market where they can take advantage of every dip as a buying opportunity. They see every peak as a selling opportunity.
Bears are just the opposite. The are pessimists. They see every dip in the market as the beginning of a recession. When a dip occurs the bears sell to the bulls.
Then the bears wonder why they are the victims of the grand conspiracy of the bulls.
Some people are bullish on Trump. They look at what Trump did on reducing Guildance in early October and look for idustries that have been held back by Guidance and now will have a spurt of growth.
Some people are bearish on Trump. When they see those bullish on Trump making money, they get jealous and accuse the bulls of a conspiracy.
I would think. 8>)
