    Not unexpected, but kinda bad.

    MOST of this is the chickenshits thinking
    the sky is falling - there are always some.
    Trump seems to GET this, which is why he is
    not in a panic.

    On the plus, this drags down the EU and China too.
    Makes them more likely to, eventually, make the
    kind of deals Trump wants.

    Will there be a "Trump Recession" ? My guess,
    kinda YEA. This is a HARD fight against the
    long-established global economic order and
    entrenched US-ripoff culture. What portfolio
    I have, I expect it to lose about a THIRD in
    the next six months.

    However, after, I also expect it to RISE by
    far MORE than that.

    We saw all this shit during the last property/loan
    bubble. Otherwise smart people FREAKING OUT and
    madly dumping their stocks and such - and they
    had to pay TAX on that too. Yet, a year later,
    all those stocks were higher than ever and THEY
    had been heavily screwed.

    Most of the Joe Americans don't OWN any
    securities - stocks/bonds/etc. THEY are
    not especially impacted by those abstract
    figures on Bloomberg. They work their jobs.
    However their BOSSES may be more heavily
    invested ... so those jobs aren't as secure
    as many would like to think.

    As the book cover says ... "DON'T PANIC".

    Panic is the Great Destroyer. That little yellow
    man in yer head is NOT your friend.
