Yeah, you’re right, trump would never break a rule.

I think Wall Street won't let him get away with it.  I believe they have a lot of influence and are pissed off about the tariffs.    Then again, they would like the dove too.

It doesn't matter who the Fed chair will be.

The way he’s single-handedly jerking the markets around, I really don’t think Wall Street will end up having as much influence on him as all that. They’ll snap into line, because what’s their alternative? Support a Democrat?

The market historically does better under Democrats.  I think they wanted Trump because he jerked around the market in his first presidency in their favor.  This time, not so much.

I did my taxes today. Always do them late so I don't give the city my money any earlier than possible. I always owe them because I don't work in town and pay the difference because we pay higher taxes than the other town because we suck more.

As far as investments. Had an interest 1099 (doesn't count toward city) to turn in. Made almost 5% doing nothing more than playing short term bond ladders all year. This was money from my bank account that pays .01% if I let it sit in the bank and do nothing. I can't imagine why my personal banker didn't tell me about that? Especially since they tell me they want to insure I get the most out of my banking experience, while never telling me how, or fix any problems they have ****ed up.

What a world...

I did the same thing last year with my bank account money.  4.7% is better than 0%.

I should have added; I have Treasury Direct account hooked to my bank account. I buy whatever I want through TD and it just shows debits and credits to my bank. They have nothing to do with it. TD is a really neat deal.

This is what I was getting at a few weeks ago.  Pick a lane and stick to it.
