From what I read it looks like Trump deliberately tanked the stock market. Was there some insider trading involved?

I was in the middle of selling some stock when that got announced. Luckily I still sold but missed out on $4 / share...eventually it went down $8.
...but it will likely be up $10 tomorrow.

Why would Trump participate in insider trading? That is crazy. He is already rich, no need for illegal activities.

Also why would you sell in the first place? It was some random panic selling. The Dow is already up again on a weekly basis, and still positive on a monthly basis.

So quick selling and paying transaction fees and now rebuying at similar levels with transaction fees again seems a bit like an overreaction to me.

Did you make a good profit? Don't forget the taxes on top of that.
