save 1.8 million?


WAIT - So the blind crusader is questioning a stock move from a billionaire that only netted $1.8 million ???



Was that the only transaction he made last week?

Hell - I remember one such one-time deal - seems like 30 years ago some Arkansas lady made one and only one stock trade - she put $1000 in the cattle futures market and a week later cashed it out for $100,000. Let an 'old friend' handle the transaction. Said she learned how to do that by reading the Wall Street Journal. (I said 'put it in the cattle futures market' because I don't remember if she went in long or short - neither does she.)

Hell, by now

Let's see Nucor went up, Alcoa went up.

Are you really THAT stupid?

Nucor PRODUCES steel. Alcoa PRODUCES steel. Manitowoc BUYS steel.

2011 and 2013 say hello you jackass!

Your prog filth says congress can by law be involved in insider trading but the average American can’t.

You’re a complete arse that’s doing nothing but fishing while facing the wrong direction.

Trump's close friend dumped steel-related stock before the tariffs

Hillary sold URANIUM to the Russians.

Obama gave Iran (up to) 33.6 billion in CASH. Allowed spying on political opposition, funded and armed ISIS, and allowed hezbollah to sell cocaine, opium and heroine in the US.

Hmm....

It's ok to just criticize all corruption instead of excusing it because someone else did it.

Not a crazy concept really.

Hillary had very little to do with the uranium sale, liar. As in just one vote out of nine little. A vote that that same board said they'd do today all over again.

Trump's money laundering is coming under increasing scrutiny, so I guess insider trading is the next best thing.

I wonder what's next?

“Congressional aides and executive branch staffers are exempt from the online database, and the President, Vice President and Members of Congress do not have to provide sortable or searchable information. A little at a time, Congress is chipping away at their promise of transparency and accountability.

S.716 was considered in the Senate for about ten seconds and passed unanimously. On Monday, April 15th, Obama quietly signed it.”

Obama loves dumbasses like you Rex.

All about jobs, are you deaf also. Listen to the speech. Any one about steel tariffs over last 5 years.
Can you read? the tweets say the same thing.

I agree but that wasn't my point really.

It was about addressing priorities and taking care of the biggest threats to this country.

There are about 200,000 steel and aluminum jobs in this country. There are about 7 million jobs in this country for companies that depend on steel and aluminum for production.

Most economists agree that these tariffs would be massive job KILLERS.

But then again, didn't you also just try to make some stupid point about Nucor and Alcoa?

Get educated, for chrissakes.

Get a life.

We received a 3-page questionary from the association of our industrial group regarding to the steel and aluminum sourcing. It indicated the coming higher tariffs.

Last I checked both February 11 and February 22 were before Trump's steel tariffs announcement of February 28.

And Manitowoc is a crane MANUFACTURING company.



When I said "Manitowoc is a crane company" WTF ELSE WOULD THAT MEAN TO ANYONE THAT ISNT BEING A PETTY, OBTUSE DOUCHE?

Oh yeah, and there's this that just happened to coincide with the selloff:

MANITOWOC, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Manitowoc Company, Inc. (NYSE: MTW) announced today that it will release its fourth-quarter 2017 financial results and will issue its 2018 guidance on Thursday, February 8, after the close of market. The company will discuss its fourth-quarter 2017 results and 2018 guidance during a live conference call for security analysts and institutional investors, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Friday, February 9.

When did the stock market open next, after that call that included "institutional investors" (aka DEFINITELY this guy)?
That's right, the following Monday, February 11th.

SURELY that's a coincidence though, right?

Not only that, the stock has been falling quickly since January 26th.

This is fake news.
