  1. Overnight

    Overnight

    Expect that radical market behavior throughout his second term, but not just for that first day after the election, if he is re-elected, but expect it after every social media post he makes while prez. Remember that "I demand all US businesses pull out of China" tweet in the middle of the day, on Aug whatever, 2019?

    Dow dropped 1,000 points in an instant. The SP didn't drop far enough to trigger a breaker, but it was rough-sledding.

    he might call himself

    The President of the US
    The Fed President
    The High Court President

    ...

  3. Assuming "facts" not in evidence. Trump threatened to sue Wharton if they released his transcript. Modesty, perhaps? Yeah, but nah.

  4. Yeah, really. And all it will cost the country is its democracy and dignity.

  5. Are you sure? That was then. But now thinking minds know what the surprise is in the Cracker Jack box.

  6. So completely random volatility is a good thing? Let's hope you're not on the wrong side of it when it happens.
