    Volume will go way down that's for sure especially if and after if they implement the transaction tax on financial trading. So be prepared for wide bid/ask spread especially in options and very treacherous trading whipsaws which is really bad if you are doing short-term trading.

    Can't wait for the 4 years to be over...

    In other words, like I said before, he's just another Jimmy Carter. And coincidentally Jimmy Carter had to deal with Iran as well during his administration and dealt with it very badly. And he only lasted 4 years. Have a feeling that's how long Biden will last as well and hopefully so...

    Yes I respect Trump's passion and tenacity and resolve to get things done but his behaviour attacking the election process could've been more classy but then again he might know more than we do but still...

    That explains all Biden wants to do is "saving America's soul" cuz he can't do anything else. And thank god for a Republican majority in the Senate and a strong minority in the House, Biden won't be able to do anything. He will just fade away in 4 years. We just have grit our teeth to trade within these four low-volatility, low-volume years.

    Some where I read that Trump brand gained $2B in value after he came to the White House.
    So why would he let go of another round of several billions addition to the value and more so when Ivanka Trump and others in family might be ready by 2024.

    I was ok with Trumpie being unconventional. But when he brashly set aside the covid dangers to common folks, I lost all confidence and credibility in the gentleman.

    I'm sure you'll recall when he said he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue, and his supporters would still vote for him.

    Well, he simply extrapolated that to his virus response. And he was right. 250,000 dead and his supporters don't care.

    And that’s just a perfect illustration of why outside of Joe Biden this election was pretty much an abject failure for progressives in the national and state down ticket elections.

    Yes, I have no doubt that the majority of votes were simply anti-Trump. The democrats could have run a ham sandwich for president, and it would have been elected.

    Down ballot, I am pleasantly surprised at the number of voters who actually gave it enough thought to split their vote. That's a plus for democracy.

    Trump is the dumbest bedwetting loser ever to bankrupt a casino -he is so stupid the IRS doesn't even have to bother with his pathetic joke 'businesses' that are in reality just a pile of stinking debt that NO US bank will touch. When a business is going well it pays down debt- Trump has never known about that as he has been shielded from reality to provide comedy gold for every intelligent person on the planet to laugh at. He may have totally fucked America by the way
