Either Bloomberg is on a delay or the market is back up to where it was.

Dow is up 15 for the day as of right now.

Last Wednesday, the DJIA lost almost 200 points. Did DJT cause that?

You know because of the timing. It was the trigger. The excuse. The last straw..whatever phrase you want to use. No doubt IL weighs in but the trigger was JR.

Funds push the sell button often on a trigger and sort it out later..sometimes only minutes later

CNBC: “Dow tanks 100 points...”

Since when is a drop of 100 points “tanking”?!

150 is nothing considering the level it’s at and the way trading takes place.

Trump Jr. emails trigger knee-jerk drop in stock market

As is often with life, doing things in a "knee-jerk" fashion are often the signs of immaturity, lack of discipline, ignorance, and sometimes, willful stupidity.

Wow. People besotted with politics believe that everyone else is that obsessed. I'd be shocked if 10% of the market traders have even heard of this "scandal" and even more shocked if anyone based buying or selling decisions on it. It just doesn't work like that.

Oh, market's up, by the way.
