    After the announcement of tariffs, world markets saw Canada and China’s markets drop a couple points and the US’s surged a couple of points.

    If you knew that market shift was coming and had a few billion in international markets and sold while the US surged, you made a shitload of money (at least, “shitload of money” from my perspective, because I’m a poorsie).

      I remember a time when this would be considered a conspiracy theory.

      Ah, those were simpler days.

        I know a day when this would be considered insider trading… poor Martha, went to jail for nothing.
