The First Bull Bear

Now, Trump was all charm as he shook hands with Xi. USA wanted to make a deal. It wasn't so easy after all. And China was desperate. It was no longer the tiger. That title was silently being taken by another Asian tiger on the prowl... India. China's growth was a slack, its financial districts ridden with piles of debts, and its predatory fiscal policies and subtly forced technology acquisitions were called out openly. Trump was as savvy a deal maker as any in the history of the world. He took a position of strength and worked till the enemy went down under its own weakness. You had to hand it to him. If not anything Trump was brutally outspoken and at times mortally realistic. You might say Luci's life was made the day Pig Bull spoke to him. If not for another bull - the bull in the China shop. It so happened that one day Luci went long on margins. He had mastered the basics and that gave him the confidence to leverage. Especially on the juicy dips that had support near the DMA - daily moving average. He built a big positional and trading call. After all he needed quick money. But then there was the orange tweet on the trade war. At the end of 2 days, his broker had to square off Luci's positions since he fell short on his margins. Luci checked his account and didn't cry. Big men don't cry. They hit the pub."China and USA are as far apart as the North to the South Pole - in thought, policy, culture, and worldview. A sensible complete trade deal was always a pipe dream. It was the crashin' stock-market that made them do a deal..any sort of a deal;but no..never a comprehensive one."
