The must-read list for U.S. stock traders on social media adds a new member, as Trump's "Housing Authority" director's post stirs the market

His online comments sometimes begin with obscure introductions, and last Friday, they even temporarily pulled down the S&P 500 index. His market influence "suddenly turned an otherwise obscure government official into the star of business news," said Steve Sosnick, chief strategist at Interactive Brokers. (Bloomberg)
