Dec 2016

I have dUmped a lot of fRiends because of their love for tRump or so they thought.

Haven't heard a word from any of them. Makes me wonder if they have buyer's remorse. Some can no longer look you in the eye. They voted for him because of one thing and that is MONEY and they want more more more!

As for the stock market, I wouldn't suggest anyone buy into it, esp. now. For me, it is insured investments only!

I'm no millionaire but have never lost a cent during these various crashes we've seen. The next will make 1929 look like a party!

Good luck investors!
