    :rolleyes: Tell that to the folks who ran CountryWide, among many others. They are under the impression, having live it ya know (were around then?), that it was a bad, bad time to start a mortgage company.

    True but even besides that tRump the promoter has many convinced he's the greatest for the markets (everything else too, but that another story) when reality says differently.

    Yeah, I might have missed part of the conversation, I don´t think Trump is back for the markets but wouldn´t argue with those points.

    Are you making haste and getting out of Boca Raton with that hurricane headed your way? Man don’t take a chance. Best to hightail it out there don't you think?

    Although I grew up near the coast (blocks from Atlantic) up north, down here I am about 5 miles away. So no storm surge and my immediate area is not a flood zone. I'll put my storm shutters up when the time is right (probably tomorrow am). Then hunker down if it comes my way. Got a full tank of gas and all the essentials so I'm set. No need to go anywhere. Better not to.

    Well let’s get more specific: Obama actually entered when the markets were crashing and had actually fallen another 20ish percent from his inauguration to the March low. The world had stopped spinning.

    Trump inherited an economy that had substantial tailwinds. Those tailwinds don’t just stop.

    SunTrader don’t trust that forecast it is gonna turn north and miss you guys. This is a monster storm. Do your best to get prepared or maybe hightail it outta there. Do you have a generator?

    Appreciate your concern. But I have yet to put down my storm shutters dpwn but contrarian that I am am, I am about the only one around my neighborhood who didn't. Yes I have a generator (and I tested it again to make sure it is ready to do the job) and fuel but it looks like it won't be needed.

    Appears this time someplace else north, besides the damage done to Bahamas, will "be on the clock".
