OT about OT

OT - Where has everyone gone? Into bomb shelters waiting for the inevitable? Mikey (the Market) likes it fine, so far. So good? I'm left wondering when somebody important stops treating Trump like North Korea - the crazy threats and wild swings not worth paying attention to. Some time ago, Jester wondered if the pissed off white people were willing to ruin this country just for 'revenge'? Apparently. A lot of our allies seem to be taking it seriously - Latvia, Lithuania, etc. making preparation to be invaded under the rubric of protecting 'Russian nationals.' Are we really going to unravel all the alliances (e.g., NATO) that has kept the West safe and the villians at bay? It wasn't that long ago that Russia felt 'surrounded' and on the ropes because of all of the countries that were piling into NATO. Is it the fall of the West, like Lord of the Rings - except Sauron wins this one?  Just how fast could our supremacy and democratic ideals be unraveled? (China might be the biggest winner, eventually.) Obscured perhaps, by things like appointing a bigot to Attorney General, or lifting all moral oversight of politicians, or the destruction of universal affordable health care, without any real plan in replacement (let them die, and be quick about it?) Or am I just being hysterical? 

Hilary does get a good deal of blame. For somebody who I truly believe is 'whip-smart' intellectually, she must be tone-deaf in emotional intelligence. If you call a large segment of Trump's supporters "deplorables", how many of those people are going to vote for you? Duh. Don't need them anyway. Duh.  She'll be fine. $28 mil./year. And if she needs work, there'll always be a directorship at Goldman Sachs waiting.  End of pontificating.

Personally, I sold almost all of my INFN in a tax-loss selling move. It has since gained .40 cents. Not such a great call, perhaps. But NOK, also, seems to be on an upward slope lately - but what has not?.

Just chime in here anytime, compadres. Let's not let this community fail, after all these years. (BTW, Jester - I see TTWO near 50, and ATVI in mid-upper $30's. I think you warned that ATVI was going to have a rough time this year competing with EA, so although it looked like a bargain below $40, that might no longer be true.)
