London-based fintech firm Trading.co.uk is launching an app that will generate trading alerts for shares based on Donald Trump social media comments. Watching the U.S. President-elect's personal Twitter feed has become a regular pastime for the fund managers and traders.

Trump knocked several billion off the value of pharmaceutical stocks a week ago by saying they were "getting away with murder" with their prices. Comments earlier this week on China moved the dollar and a pair of December tweets sent the share prices of Lockheed Martin (LMT.N) and Boeing (BA.N) spiraling lower.

    "Trump" is British slang for fart. I'm surprised it didn't get used in the media more as it's incredibly apt.

    No, they were holding that one back so they can continue to claim the moral high ground. It will get trotted out, though, if Trump follows through with his threats to dis-invite the press from close Whitehouse proximity.

    I would enjoy seeing him do that. Put them in a "free speech zone" several miles away from the action to teach them a lesson for letting George W. Bush and Obama get away with it.
