” Last night on the news, Alan Kohler said that Trump’s Liberation Day rates are much higher than the Smoot-Hawley rates that caused the big ones DEPRESSION! Is it time to sell? “.”
Mr Pape said that the stock market was ’16 percent of its highlights’ and suffered his largest one -day decrease in five years when Trump’s rates were announced on 7 April.

The Liberation Day of US President Donald Trump shocked the world
‘You probably saw that iconic photo of the poor guy trying to stroll his luxury car for $ 100 in the streets of New York. The board on the hood was: “everything lost on the stock market,” he said.
‘But this is what most people don’t know: by April 1930 the stock market was reflected … It was 48 percent higher than the depth of October.
“US President Herbert Hoover stated courageously to the world that” the worst is over. ” Phew! But as soon as those words left his lips, the market began to puke. Violent. And it continued to chunder for the next two long years.
“When it finally raised his head from the toilet bowl, the stock market had fallen a stunning 89 percent compared to his peak from 1929.”
Despite the gloomy prediction, Mr Pape investors assured that the world is not ‘about to be the greatest crash in history’.
‘What I say is that people have short memories. (Okay, and that American presidents cannot be trusted.) No doubt the smartest banker in the world, JP Morgan Chief Jamie Dimon, agrees, “he went on.

‘The market fell by 10 percent, it is 10 percent back. I think that is an extraordinary amount of complacency, “said Mr Dimon.
Mr Pape warned Aussie investors that they are prepared for stock markets to be even more unpredictable, while Trump remains in power.
“The fact is that Trump has three years in the Oval Office, and what about this man says:” I’m just going to deal quietly, diligently and not make waves “? He said.
“My gamble is that he gets even crazier as the days tap.
“Now, if you are just like me and you come through the Trump rate Tantrum without checking your portfolio, you are probably good to go with what will come next,” said Mr. Pape.
“If you were one of those people who sent me anxious e -mails fifty days ago – consider this as your” do over “.
“As Warren Buffett warned investors last week, while the trend has risen in the long term:” You will see a period in the next 20 years that a hair curler will be compared to everything you have seen before “. Plan accordingly. Involve your own path! ‘
