>>> +1s … YES – Economically things continue to look good … Some minor selling as DOW is down 108 with profit taking … And today — the media-swamp complex is off the charts again — but it the “same song – different day” as a lot of colluding apparently went on — and they are out to prove it 😉 and #45 took EU to woodshed on $5.1B fine on Google 🙂

Trump speaking on CNBC

Strong dollar puts the US at a disadvantage
Feds Powell is a very good man
Raising rates puts the US at a disadvantage vs others.
Letting the Fed do what they feel is best
“I’m not thrilled because we go up and every time they go up, they want to raise rates again.”

[size=4][color=limegreen][b]^^^^ +1 and CHEERS … Markets are down a tad on leading sensational headlines on #45 from a decade ago

Still it is TGIF today & will soon be hiking & taking photos soon — as the DEER love our apple orchard :woohoo:
… but hope to get picture of brand new fawns 8)

AGREE 100 % — R2K is leading indicator & so is NASDAQ … Small business doing better with tax cuts alone 🙂 I’m bullish but cautious esp. based daily attacks (a few warranted but most are not in my opinion)

and as Greenspan notes – the MOST IMPORTANT indicator is 10YR bond :whistle: … Soon will be time for the PIT BULLS on WALL ST to hit nearest WATERING HOLES in NYC 😉 8)[/b][/color][/size]
