The stock dropped about a half percent before settling again.
Well, the financial app “Trigger” — has decided to take advantage of Trump’s propensity to tweet about companies.
Usually, people use Trigger for pre-set investment instructions. Say, trading on a Fed move. But now, Trigger can alert you if the President elect has mentioned a stock you own on Twitter.
There really is an app for everything.
