Over/under on Monday's stock market drop?

I would SELL SELL SELL American stocks after this shit show. China. Sell and invest on China since they seem to be the only damn country with stability and a military that scares Russia these days.

A family member lives in Australia. She called me to bitch about how much extra time and energy it was going to take for her husband, who travels to the US for business all the time, to get cleared to enter the country now. Something about how he always did it online in the past, but now he was going to have to go to the US consulate every single time and interview in person. This is not as earth shaking as the Muslim ban by a long shot, but a great example of how Trump will tank business. If it is that hard for an Australian businessman with no criminal record married to a US/AU dual citizen who visits 2-3 times per year to get clearance, then many will just stop doing business in the USA altogether. Plus I would be scared that some crazy thing would happen and I would get trapped!

Thanks Trump!
