FWIW, my investment advisor just recommended moving out of individual stocks and into managed funds of mixed bonds and equities, as well as emphasizing Europe. Evidently their analysts believe we are into a bubble in US stock prices and that President Agent Orange is likely to mess something up but no way to predict what it will be and hedge against it.

We will survive him. I really like what the stock market is doing. UAW pushing buy American again. Liberal heads exploding. All good stuff. I still don’t like him, probably never will. But I do enjoy seeing him giving the media crap. I like that he is unpredictable. Bull in china shop, monkey with machine gun maybe it will churn the swamp enough to actually change things. Funny, someone needled him about whether or not he read some document, he missed the classic Nancy Pelosi “we have to pass the bill so you can find out what’s in it comment”... Would have been a good rejoinder. Just so he does not start another shooting war...

I listened to some of the press conference on NPR today during lunch. He definitely was combative with the press. I think it's pretty clear to anyone that he won only just barely. The numbers speak for themselves. But like the inauguration crowd thing, he just can't accept it for some reason. On this particular point at least he needs to grow up. ------ Original Message ------ From: "Jaime Solorza" <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > To: "Animal Farm" <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Sent: 2/16/2017 5:34:59 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Obama Admin Gave NSA Broad New Powers before he left Now my sides are aching....

When I was a kid, my dad sold farm chemicals to supplement the meager living the dry land wheat farm/ranch was producing.

This was early 1960s. None of us ever suffered the symptoms commonly associated with agent orange. Odd...

Even if you are just an ordinary citizen. If you think they need a warrant for this, you would be mistaken. They can probably only detain your for maybe a day and confiscate your phone, but you don’t have the same rights as you would if a cop stopped you on the street. There are rumors the retro Nokia 3310 phone will be revived. That would probably be a good one to take on foreign trips.
