[herding cats]

Source: The Hill

Nordstrom's stock went up by more than 4 percent Wednesday after President Trump fired off a tweet criticizing it for discontinuing Ivanka Trump's brands of clothing and other merchandise.

Nordstrom’s stock dipped -0.5 percent immediately after Trump’s morning tweet calling it “terrible” for treating his daughter, Ivanka, “so unfairly.”

However, the stock fully recovered within four minutes, and closed out the day up 4.1 percent, MarketWatch reported.

1. I hope somebody in an investigative agency is keeping an eye on stock trading

immediately before and after Trump's tweets about companies.

3. interesting.....

13. I bet tRump (or some of his cronies) have

14. I thought of it the second he started doing it

Our friends at the SEC could help...they track who's buying what, right? Look for very large short positions being covered right after a Trump tweet, then see how many of those people have Trump ties. Stock manipulation is a felony with very stiff penalties.

2. Serves him right! Maybe he'll stop tweeting attacks if his bullying backfires (a girl can dream)!

7. Trump could start dissing random commodities or companies just to watch them bounce

on the stockmarket.

8. I was just - and I mean just - listening to NPR and they said Nordstrom's went down

because of Trump's tweet - no explanation or anything else.

I seldom listen to them anymore, but sometimes it is that or Hannity. (I live in a shit radio area.)

[riversedge]

9. initially it went down a bit then went up up. npr needs to catch up

[rurallib]

12. This was after the market was closed for 3 hours

Maybe I didn't hear it right - I was working out - but am pretty sure.
I get so tired of NPR's misleads and half stories.

18. Hi Rurallib

you can stream some good radio news here:www.kser.org

[rurallib]

22. THANKS FOR THE TIP!

We have an internet radio but there are spots in my house that it just doesn't quite reach.
So I am left to use terrestrial radio in those spots. In the midwest it is a radio wasteland, so NPR is the best we can do.

I actually have some friends who are trying to get a community radio station going.
KICI are the call letters. Hoping to start this summer.

I may set KSER on my internet radio. Snohomish county is Washington, is it not?

[iemitsu]

23. Yes, Snohomish County is in Washington

just north of Seattle.

10. I know he's your President and all,

but he really is becoming a total bore.

He's like a particularly obnoxious child, always getting under your feet, and you just want to tell him to please shut up and go away.

[groundloop]

15. I for one am NOT accepting him as MY president

Hell, he lost the election by 3 MILLION votes. The election was tainted by Russian hacks, wikileaks, questionable statements by the FBI director, voter suppression, and iffy vote counting in key swing states. I refuse to claim him.

24. Hi Matilda! Married to a half-Aussie here.

Embarrassed doesn't begin to describe how we feel about this dangerous clown representing us on the world stage.

We keep apologizing to our cousins in Victoria.

[Matilda]

28. Not that our current govt. is anything to boast about.

Climate change-denying freeloaders the lot of them - not a single one who would think of putting country before self-interest.

It must be some sort of disease that's spreads among politicians.

But Trump is a whole new thing - I keep waiting to hear "okay, folks, the joke's over, and now let's get ourselves a real President".

[spiderpig]

29. Yet Little Donald managed to dis you anyway with his phone call

Rest assured, Little Donald is getting his bigly over here.

The 9th Circuit Court (where I marched in protest over previous legislation) just shot down his travel ban. He's already Tweeting his tantrum in ALL CAPS.

This is a case of Opposite Day, Groundhog Day-style.

[Matilda]

30. We now call our esteemed leader Mr Trumble.

Malcolm deserves all he gets, he's insufferably arrogant.

But it was dreadfully ignorant behaviour towards an old ally, and that got under our skin a bit.

The thing with Trump is that he doesn't seem to learn, does he? No matter how many times things blow up in his face, he still thinks he was elected Supreme Ruler.

11. I heard about the drop, but no mention of the 4.1℅ gain.

Glad to hear about it.

17. Haven't bought anything from Nordstrom in years

But I'm glad to see they're standing up to the orange shit gibbon

27. Yeah for Nordstroms

[flamingdem]

31. I've always loved Nordstroms for their easy return policy

Now I love them more! Not that they want to be political but hey.
