Amid all the tRump clusterfucks going on, the lessons of the Great Recession aren't being given

enough attention by the MSM, up to, and including the actions this greedy, incompetent administration is taking that are accelerating the risk of an even bigger economic catastrophe.

Retail Sales took a mega whack and it was not because of Amazon. Dingle Berry Donnie just pushed us over the edge with his 200 billion in additional Tariff's against China.

Another little tid bit. Jamie Diamond floated a 3% ETF this morning,guess what,no zero takers. So when the so called smartest Guy on the Street gets stiffed,holy cow.

orchestrated mega theft. Anyone who had AIG or Lehman Stock lost their collective rear ends. Since that day,we check Bloomberg at least once daily and have all our IRA's in what we call a tentative sell status. And that we update at least twice weekly not to get caught again like 2008.

Got damn lucky with a purchase of a two dollar stock that is now trading at fifteen plus divi's. That helped some of the loss off set's. Plus my Spouse hit big on one of her intuitive Stocks. Now all this does is puts us on alerts day to day.
