Faced with a Tweeter-in-chief, how are investors to navigate what’s ahead? Is there a strategy behind President Trump’s outbursts; and if so, how shall investors position themselves to protect their portfolios or profit from it?

With all the outrage about Trump’s style, we have all seen equity markets rally in the aftermath of the election. Is the rally due to investors loving the policies proposed in Trumps’ tweets? We argue no, if only because one can hardly call most of his tweet storms policy proposals.
Before I expand further, I need to point out that discussing portfolio allocation in the context of politics is bizarre, as, in my experience, today's breed of investors - and this may well include you - are looking for an "investment experience." In an era where stocks have gone up and up for years, where buying the dips has been a profitable strategy, does it really matter what you invest in? So, it appears to me, many invest in what appears warm and fuzzy to them. The days are gone where investors bought shares of tobacco companies because they were good value; instead, they buy solar energy companies if they want to save the planet. Similarly, my own anecdotal research suggests investment portfolios of Clinton supporters look distinctly different from those of Trump supporters. It’s incredibly difficult for investors to put emotions aside. That said, I have no problem with an environmentally conscious investor specifically avoiding coal companies because they don't want to support it even if it might churn out more profits in a Trump administration - as long as he or she does it with open eyes. Such investing, in my humble opinion, means gathering the facts, then making a conscious decision. To gather facts in a politically charged investment environment, here are some of the steps you might want to consider when you hear stories that might affect your investment decision:

1. Get multiple perspectives. That means, embrace news outlets that disagree with your political views. If that’s too unbearable, at least follow journalists of those outlets on Twitter that write coherently, even if you disagree with their views. Get an outside perspective by reading (or listening to) foreign news services from the UK, Europe (I mention Europe separately from the UK, as news coverage is different on the continent), the Middle East and Asia. What does German chancellor Merkel think of Trump’s recent assault on Germany? Look it up to gauge how the dynamics might unfold.
2. Go to the sources. In our office, we listened to hours of confirmation hearings to get a better handle of what policies the new administration might pursue. We listen to or read speeches of central bankers, policy makers and influencers around the world;
3. News breaks on Twitter. With a Tweeter-in-chief, it’s not a matter of political preference, but one of staying on top of the news to follow @realDonaldTrump (he now tweets under the handle @POTUS as well; Obama’s Twitter handle has been moved to @POTUS44). Following policy makers allows you to stay on top of breaking news. Following influencers allows you to receive close to instantaneous interpretation of the news. On that note, please ensure you follow @AxelMerk.

rotf ...great(funny) link, thnx

The real danger is people like YOU

1.07 or so...after that cannot even guess ( twitter possibility at any time can change everything)

Thank you.

And I don't care what anyone says here.

Funny stuff is an email from B something, together with Kathy, that he made 26% profit on his private account last year.

I made 98% and I can prove it

you really think anyone is gonna read all that shit?

Hi, Killer! We would like to see you around more often, not banned anymore ...so, that answer to ruma29 wasn't quite necessary!
keep up and focus on the trading!
Just move ahead!

I feel loke the rest of this week we wikl be in the range until a big news pushes it out... the support and resistance is tooo strong.

But where do u get the enrgy talking to this wale of guy? he should be blocked for life... im not sure why FF unblocked him so quick

If the whole s*it will be spilled below 23.6% first, then 38.2% from the last significant momentum, bears will run it down to 1.0680

Well, thank you in the first place. But then about trading, my count for EU going down is real.
I'm at 30 pips profit at the moment.

Can you feel the love, man! Peace!

a sory brov, i am not a type of guy who do long post -/ ...guessing the right direction come with experience, after sometime you'should make more winning guess and less loosing one.... now, regarding my chart i guess it's donw...so let's C ))

You're right, 1.0770 and the consolidation on 1.0745-50 zone was like a genuine sell trigger

Now I am waiting for bearish weakness that will push price back up to retest 1.0750/60 area.. That level will be retested for a while I think till we can see some sort of direction.. keep hunting small profits.. at least for today I don't expect a full rally..

Stay Green
