Subject: Re: China fires across the bow
Could the ones who diss Trumpīs actions and describe how catastropic Chinaīs retaliation is for the US (Please note: I am in no way say this is justified or not justified, not taking sides) please tell me why then the US markets are again strongly up now, after the opening?

Sure thing.
Let me introduce you to Mr. Market...
Mr. Market is often identified as having human behavioral manic-depressive characteristics, he:
Is emotional, euphoric, moody.
Is often irrational.
Is there to serve you, not to guide you.
Is in the short run a voting machine, in the long run a weighing machine.
Is frequently efficient...but not always.
Therefore, patience is an important virtue when dealing with Mr. Market.
