Trump suggests investors sue ABC reporter whose erroneous report sent stocks down
Washington Examiner ^ | 12/3/17 | Kyle Feldscher

President Trump suggested investors who lost money when the stock market fell following ABC's erroneous report alleging Trump told Mike Flynn to make contact with the Russians as a candidate sue the reporter who made the error.

"People who lost money when the Stock Market went down 350 points based on the False and Dishonest reporting of Brian Ross of @ABC News (he has been suspended), should consider hiring a lawyer and suing ABC for the damages this bad reporting has caused - many millions of dollars!" Trump tweeted Sunday.

Securities and Exchange Commission needs to charge them with yelling fire in a crowded theater.

Be more specific. Which stocks went down? This is a great opportunity to buy.

Also, what's a good way to buy stocks?

The market should be interesting Monday.
Time to see whether the tax bill was already priced in or not.

We know it’s going to go back up. That’s why I need to know which stocks went down. It stands to reason they will at least go back to where they were before the Fake News hit.

I disagree. I think this is a bit out of line.

Call the network on it's standards, don't try to get lawyers involved. Plays into the left's mantra of "destroying the 1st amendment rights of an open press".

Some would say a good way to buy stocks is ‘on the margin’ if you can afford it.

Easiest way is to open an E*trade account. Much lower commissions than using a broker.

Sorry.

It’s usually a game you need to be in already. Find a broker first. The stocks that ride the tide will always be gobbled up by big interests and day traders.

You have no chance of making money on Brian Ross. The day traders did.

The left is apoplectic that the market soared and nothing makes them more furious than looking like the idiots they are.

Close your eyes and jump in. It's all gambling and guesswork. That having been said, many of my investments have dramatically increased in worth since 2008. I invest conservatively, and kick myself because if I bought recklessly I would have much more. But even a conservative buying scheme makes money over the long run, whereas buying recklessly can bring ruin. Nothing hurts more than seeing a stock go to near-zero. Brokers are everywhere, cost depends on level of support. Spread assets around, don't go with all your eggs in one basket. P.S. - I'm no expert, got luckier with guessing than looking at advice. As I said, it's a gamble.

ABC may have been insider trading on the fake news, if so the SEC should investigate and put people in jail.
