Today the jobs report came out.  Fairly tame.  The markets seem happy there was no backslide.

But DJT told everyone...yesterday.

Then he deleted the tweet. (At least I don't see it on his feed today.)

Edit: Not deleted.  Just didn't go back far enough.

Really Good Jobs Numbers!

Odd?  Criminal?

Or just business as usual with the Trumps?

The market was up huge yesterday morning even before the 9:40 am Tweet . None-the-less my tripled leveraged S&P 500 ETFs appreciated Trump's Tweet.

Plus at 9:30 a bought a different 3x leverage ETF that I was able to sell 47 minutes later with 2.5% gain. Not a bad ride.

Most likely Trump had no idea what the job report was to say and just tweeted out things are great to sway public support.
