foreign banks are *not* eager to put money at risk in the u.s. if trump wins.

then again, if trump wins, maybe we can find some russian banks....




in any event, i'm not worried -- hillary's still a heavy favorite.

He terrifies the world markets, and he terrifies plenty of those in the finance in the US. Sure, they'll be money to be made on any collapse, for the rich, but for the soon to be retired, it'll be devastating.

Drumpf is a little man who will blow his gasket at everyone who doesn't do as he wants, and the country will soon turn into a depressed state, with an incomp at the top...

Let's hope for an easy win for HRC from the GOTV operations!

post Brexit. All households have lost a minimum of 25% of their savings and buying power. Next big hit that now is happening is,their Housing Stock is in free-fall.

Certain Hedge Funds are working the crap out of the Options Market.

I get the feeling that businesses are waiting until after the election to hire.

I honestly believe tat if Trump ga insurance power, I will never work again. I am almost 58 years old and was in engineering management for the last 16 years.

That's Trump's approximate number of lawsuits. It's a good indicator of what to expect. Trouble.
