Author argues Trump has checkmated Powell, making a market crash unlikely and predicting S&P 500 reaches 7500 by EOY.

Unpriced research observations (excluded from Calls and Returns):

SPX — LONG The author claims that President Trump's pressure on Fed Chair Powell makes it impossible for Powell to deliberately crash the economy, because Powell wants to prevent Trump from declaring victory and blaming him. Therefore, the author advises buying the dip and forecasts the S&P 500 will reach 7500 by end of year. Exact non-equity contract requires separate historical validation; no generic proxy.

BTFD. S&P 500 to 7500 by EOY.
