I actually thought about making a few myself. But I am just too apprehensive ( I would say chicken but... )

however, if I was a Trump crony and I have some insider information...

I would have sold short last week, covered my short selling yesterday, then bought even more, and be looking to sell the holdings tomorrow. having made a nice little 3% to 3.5% profit over the 3 or 4 days.

Even if I only put a $20K bet into the system, that would have "earned" a tidy $600 or so for the effort.
