How do you earn $60,000,000 in just a few minutes...?

Apparently, if you are friends with Trump, it's no problem at all!

Note this:

Today, at 12:50 PM Israel time, while futures were red and down over one percent, someone executed a massive futures trade...

This trade was worth over $1 billion!

This is about 6 times an average trade outside trading hours (!)

This was such a large trade that it raised futures prices by 0.3% in less than a minute.

Exactly 14 minutes later, at 1:04 PM Israel time.

Trump tweeted that very good discussions were taking place with Iran and as a result, he was delaying the attack on Iranian energy facilities by five days.

In response to this announcement, the S&P 500 index added over $2 trillion in market cap within minutes, rising from minus one percent to plus 2.5%.

This unusual futures position increased by over $60 million within minutes!

Someone always knows...
