[size=5][i]USA markets are holding up good in spite of some bad news

[size=5][i]Heard RAVE reviews on MAR 31 update by president & team
Factual, sober, respectful to media, & great presentation by team
no matter WHO or the party in POTUS position — they are top of prayer list
and will always respect commander-in-chief … even if “forgetful Joe” becomes #46 :ohmy:

The clips I heard were spot on & well done by #45
Bookmarking a copy for later — as it’s no picnic for even “work from home”
VERY THANKFUL — but it’s chaos out there :woohoo:
and our son & daughter are working on front lines with the impatient & “virus rebels”

I shared with our daughter — y’all need a button to wear that says “Be kind to those on front lines” 8)[/i][/size]

[color=limegreen][size=5][b]OIL up +10% .. and certainly $20 to $22 ain’t a whole lot 😆 :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:

[size=5]Good Thursday morning … and wish all a good & safe day …
Stocks Futures were originally up about +400 on DOW, on possible break-thru on $20 OIL

But 6 MILLION more added to U/E ranks takes away some of the OIL enthusiasm earlier today
I’ve had some close encounters with deer past 2 mornings to take sunrise photos … a good sign 8)

As I listen to a couple of bible studies each morning on radio — here some great advice for worriers out there
“Make the most out of TODAY and Avoid a total focus on “gloom & doom” & the seemingly bleak future ahead“[/size]
