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.

    My bet is a gang up on them with Russia and a cutting of funding.

    That seems likely. But an ISIS-inspired attack doesn't require an actual ISIS. Anyone can say that "ISIS made me do it", and many have. It's more hip and cool than Al Qaeda ever was, and it's not clear that crushing the organization will stop people already living in the West from committing attacks and doing it for the hypothetical utopian Caliphate. Of course, taking the free ISIS teen pussy out of the equation will deliver a severe blow to the cause, but c'est la vie.

    If you only ignore all of his websites and speeches.

    Sorry, you said it yourself with:

    Everything is negotiable with him.

    Including his policy positions and alternative facts like whether it was raining at his inauguration [nytimes.com], etc. This is a man who will literally lie about the weather.
