A lot of the young male traders are MAGAs. They are rapturous over what the incident will do for DJT stock. They also may be doing a pump and dump. Maybe not today, or during the convention, but watch for it.

I don't do options or short stocks. But if I did, I'd be watching carefully for the bat signal to go short.
