And, yes, one tweet, if we’re still allowed to use that old Woke term, on Truth Social can indeed send markets firmly up as well as down. You heard it here first, proof that things can recover as quickly as they can plunge and of the necessity of staying put and, if you can, and in most cases most can, weather both storm and sunshine.
