Well, I had to write SOMETHING

As I sit here waiting for Sports Medicine to call for an appointment for my shoulder.  One thing that bothers me ( one thing ?) is I don't know if my legs muscles are sore 24/7 from atrophy? or something else.  It's like I worked out way too hard.  Weird.

Trumps tariffs are hurting so many small businesses you never think of.   GOLD FISH!  $1.2 million of golf fish are imported annually from China   It's certainly a niche' business for everybody that has a 50 gallon tank in their living room with those little critters.  Some of those "little critters" sell for $150 to $300 each.

HOWEVER - But because of Trumps trade war (also called a stock market manipulation scheme - more on that next). all those fish are 25% more now and with a market that has a very very small margin it's killing small business.

Then - being on city council one we had to authorize studies on how much things will cost.  Fire station, Library all sort of things to study that cost more then you would think BUT, needs to be done.  Knowledge is power.

Cape Cod authorized $50,000 for a 192 page study on how to lower shark risks. The study came up with 27 different ways. And then said none of them would work.  The very best way is to stay out of the water.

Seems the only way is to pay a grizzled sailor and a local sheriff $10,000  to get on a boat and using scuba tanks and firearms stop the sharks.

How about those Minnesota Wild - THEY WON A GAME!!  Sadly winning on the road for an average team is REALLY hard it seems and 13 of their first 18 games are on the road.

I have nothing to say that has not been said about the Packers. WOW.

Speaking of market manipulation - SOMEONE  is making a killing in the stock market or they are very very lucky.  Someone sold 120,000 shares of “S&P e-minis” 10 minutes before the markets closed - electronically traded futures.   Then drones hit Saudi and the oil market plunged and someone was $180,000,000 richer. 

BUT wait - 3 days earlier somebody purchased 82,000 shares “S&P e-minis” and an hour later Trump announced he would postpone tariffs.  Each share earned $2,350. 

This has been happening for about a year now.  Just before big news someone is buying a LOT of shares and getting REALLY lucky.   Every time there is  news about tariffs good or bad - someone is making a CRAP load of cash. . . . and it ain't me!  

OH - speaking of making cash.  Elweeds mom made a killing with Enron.  YEA - she took all her $$ out before it went belly up.   reminds me of MG&E - man that company is just a freakish money maker in the stock market.  Continuous raising of the dividends and it's ALWAYS going up.  They can't stop making money and have no where to spend it except giving it to investors.   

OK - that's enough - my ass hurts!    Sorry - I had to write SOMETHING 

Side note - Bridgejumper is 8-4 this year 

SADLY - it seems the American Military is now labeled yellow cowards around the world.  I wonder who the military will vote for.   I also wonder if Trump will be the 3rd party candidate. 

Cheers
