The President just signed a farm bill that subsidizes US farmers to the tune of $400 million. This is the same man who speaks loudly of Chinese manufacturing subsidies.
She was quite aware of the negative things, but chose to focus on the positive.IMO...
The problem with govt... is the people who are elected... grin
Now there is a problem with this also... in that there WILL be people elected... and we cannot function as a society without govt...
And in all my years... and studies of history... I have never found a perfect polecat... has anyone else???
If so, please post... grin!
So, as usual...
We vote for the lesser or two evils...
And make the best of it.
IMO being negative about everything the lesser of two evils does....
Tends to cloud ones perception of the good things that same lesser of two evils did... which would NOT have been done, had the worse of two evils been elected.
We have, IMO, too much negativity and hate already...
Wonder if a positive attitude, and be thankful for what we have... rather than fussing over split milk... might work better???
Reminds me of the stories on this forum of the mother who recently passed...
I suspect she was more positive... even though she KNEW of the negatives...
Note this comment is not pointed at any one person...
Rather expressing some thoughts.
Here you go... some positive thoughts:
Merry Christmas and a Happy/prosperous New Year to all
(There... that positive... grin)

Same here. I made a few more tax strategy (reposition) moves yesterday while still to my advantage and picked up a few new positions this morning. I'm expecting a downward correction before the new Congress take control so my buying is probably done for a while.Very disappointed in the market yesterday. S&P up barely over 1 percent. Either nobody believes Trump (likely) and are waiting for a deal to materialize, or they have decided that the damage is done, the market has matured, and it's time for a correction anyway (also likely). With "good" rumblings from the Fed about maybe skipping a rate increase, and Trump claiming a deal with China is imminent, all over the weekend, I would have expected 3%. I guess that's why they call it gambling.
Well we got our 3% today. Unfortunately it was down after another day of the Trump Tweeter.Very disappointed in the market yesterday. S&P up barely over 1 percent.
