  "analysis_md": "Older Trump-and-stocks posts still draw the most likes, while the newest chatter centers on an October 22 sell-off, extreme-fear readings, heavy hedge-fund shorting and a steep slide in Asian markets.\n\n## Trump, the Fed and the stock market scorecard\n\nSeveral older posts argue over who deserves credit or blame for stocks. @realDonaldTrump said on 2019-04-14 that, had the Fed done its job, the market would be up 5000 to 10,000 additional points (57.8K likes). On 2019-11-01 he cited record highs for the S&P 500 and NASDAQ (52.0K likes). @anders_aslund said on 2024-11-15 that US stocks soured on Trump, pointing to Fed cuts. @nexta_tv said on 2025-03-11 that the S&P 500 was down 6.4%, the Nasdaq down 11% and the Dow down 3.6%.\n\nPosts: @realDonaldTrump (https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1117428291227533312), @realDonaldTrump (https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1190269494788263936), @anders_aslund (https://x.com/anders_aslund/status/1857551408079175776), @nexta_tv (https://x.com/nexta_tv/status/1899436831248163312)\n\n## October 22 sell-off and extreme fear\n\nPosts from October 22 describe a rough session on Wall Street. @WatcherGuru says over $750,000,000,000 was wiped out of the US stock market at open (11.1K likes, 1.2M views). @StockSavvyShay says the market fell into 'extreme fear', and @Barchart says Extreme Fear returns. @Nostre_damus jokes it is almost time for another TACO. @DonaldTrumpNat posted that tomorrow stocks will go up (4.5K likes, 1.8M views).\n\nPosts: @WatcherGuru (https://x.com/WatcherGuru/status/2113267112445911242), @StockSavvyShay (https://x.com/StockSavvyShay/status/2113285738968281412), @Barchart (https://x.com/Barchart/status/2113326354556985413), @Nostre_damus (https://x.com/Nostre_damus/status/2113269679011823840), @DonaldTrumpNat (https://x.com/DonaldTrumpNat/status/2113131985933627652)\n\n## Hedge fund shorts and deep drawdowns\n\nTwo posts point to stress beneath the index level. @unusual_whales says, citing Goldman Sachs, that hedge funds are betting against stocks at near-record levels, with short sales outpacing purchases by about 5 to 1 across global stocks and short positions at the 99th percentile of the past five years (6.7K likes). @TheProfInvestor says 1,400 stocks are down 70%+ from their 52-week highs and that a 70% loss needs roughly a 233% gain to break even.\n\nPosts: @unusual_whales (https://x.com/unusual_whales/status/2113323749629927902), @TheProfInvestor (https://x.com/TheProfInvestor/status/2111152701526655393)\n\n## Asian markets slide on oil and geopolitical worries\n\n@Barchart says Chinese stocks are on track for 11 straight red weeks, the longest losing streak in history (3.7K likes). @USronaldcarter says a $600 billion sell-off hit 8 Asian markets in one day, with Kospi down 4%, the Nikkei down 2.6% and the Hang Seng down more than 3%. The post links the move to Brent at $111/barrel, a Houthi strike on a Saudi Aramco field and Trump saying the US is 'not negotiating' with Iran.\n\nPosts: @Barchart (https://x.com/Barchart/status/2113151956411695199), @USronaldcarter (https://x.com/USronaldcarter/status/2113173186728870026)\n\n## Key takeaways\n\n- @realDonaldTrump's 2019 posts on the Fed and record highs remain the most-liked market posts here, at 57.8K and 52.0K likes.\n- On October 22, @WatcherGuru, @StockSavvyShay and @Barchart all pointed to heavy selling and extreme fear in US stocks.\n- @unusual_whales, citing Goldman Sachs, and @USronaldcarter both frame the bearish mood as global, spanning hedge-fund shorts and Asian losses.\n## FAQ\n\n**What are posters saying happened to US stocks on October 22?**\n@WatcherGuru says over $750,000,000,000 was wiped out of the US stock market at open. @StockSavvyShay says the market fell into 'extreme fear', and @Barchart says Extreme Fear returns.\n\n**What reasons are given for the Asian sell-off?**\n@USronaldcarter cites Brent oil at $111/barrel, a Houthi strike on a Saudi Aramco field, Trump saying the US is 'not negotiating' with Iran, and AI fears hitting Tokyo Electron.\n\n**Are hedge funds bearish, according to the posts?**\n@unusual_whales says Goldman Sachs data shows hedge funds betting against stocks at near-record levels, with short sales outpacing purchases by about 5 to 1 and short positions at the 99th percentile of five years.\n\n## Top posts\n- **@realDonaldTrump** (♥57.8K ↺10.9K): If the Fed had done its job properly, which it has not, the Stock Market would have been up 5000 to 10,000 additional points, and GDP would have been well over 4% instead of 3%...with almost no inflation. Quantitative tightening was a killer, should have done the exact opposite! — https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1117428291227533312\n- **@realDonaldTrump** (♥52.0K ↺8.7K): Stock Market up BIG!

The most obvious explanation is that Fed is not likely to cut the interest rate as much as anticipated, since inflation just rose. But this is hardly the full explanation./1 — https://x.com/anders_aslund/status/1857551408079175776\n- **@WatcherGuru** (♥11.1K ↺1.6K): JUST IN: Over $750,000,000,000 wiped out from the US stock market at open. https://t.co/18D4jkSsZ4 — https://x.com/WatcherGuru/status/2113267112445911242\n- **@unusual_whales** (♥6.7K ↺579): BREAKING: Hedge funds are betting against stocks at near-record levels, per Goldman Sachs.

Short positions on Goldman’s books are at the 99th percentile of the past five years. — https://x.com/unusual_whales/status/2113323749629927902\n- **@nexta_tv** (♥6.0K ↺1.0K): Ruined it: Trump's first 50 days — the worst start to a presidential term since 2009 The first 50 days of Donald Trump's second presidential term can be characterized as a failure for the U.S. economy. Stock markets have suffered significant declines: the S&P 500 dropped by 6.4%, the Nasdaq Composite fell by 11%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average decreased by 3.6%. The new president is confidently wrecking the stock market, crypto, and even egg prices. — https://x.com/nexta_tv/status/1899436831248163312\n- **@DonaldTrumpNat** (♥4.5K ↺482): TOMORROW STOCKS WILL GO UP — https://x.com/DonaldTrumpNat/status/2113131985933627652\n- **@Barchart** (♥3.7K ↺570): BREAKING 🚨: China Chinese Stock Market on track for 11 straight red weeks, its longest losing streak in history 📉 📉 https://t.co/lpQhrxoilt — https://x.com/Barchart/status/2113151956411695199\n- **@TheProfInvestor** (♥2.8K ↺410): And it gets even crazier. 🤯 1,400 stocks are down 70%+ from their 52-week highs. Let that sink in. If you’re down 70%, you need roughly a 233% gain just to get back to breakeven. https://t.co/pJLl48GfQQ — https://x.com/TheProfInvestor/status/2111152701526655393\n- **@USronaldcarter** (♥2.1K ↺518): 🚨 A $600 BILLION SELL-OFF HIT 8 ASIAN MARKETS IN ONE DAY.
