I expect some good news by Friday... When all stock markets have closed except for the US stocks.

This is just stock manipulation and it has been from the start!

You know what happens when you overuse something?

I wonder who will be left holding the bag this time when the music finally stops and the market crashes permanently.

Well if Trump gets his way and the US leaves NATO, then by definition the US would be 3rd world country. So long as he doesn't align with the Soviets, since they're 2nd world.
