Florida lures money managers Florida's long-running effort to lure Wall Street hotshots is gaining traction thanks to a provision in the federal tax law that hits residents of high-tax states.

Not so, Florida has a lot of coastline and has two large bodies of water to boot, the Golf of mexico and the Atlantic ocean. Both sides have different weather depending on how far south or north you are.
I've been to that part of Florida, its called Orlando in the summer, Florida is the state i explored during my younger years. If i can recommend a part to visit, it would probably be the Saint Augustine area. A neat little pirate town, it sorta has this weird vibe about it. The people are very friendly and the evening atmosphere is great. Cool breezes off the Atlantic add to the charm.
%% Some may see a cryptic PTJ going south message here; i dont LOL. BUT SPY did take a little dip; EEM+ T are very south below 50 dma. QQQ +tech stocks still look strong even if its a bit late in the year. Cool[Edit remark i dont blame EEM dowTrend on tariffs or late in the year= looks like selling low PE , going lower, even though see some upticks for so much selling,2018,LOL]
