Realization

I just realized I did not post a single word in 2017 - so here are a few for 2018. This gets me all caught up. 

Back at the Ranch

Well, as people get used to the recent turn of events and forthcoming changes, the market is down a little bit more - just where I like it. It will hover around 8500 for a while then start to shoot back up. Buy 100,000 shares of anything conservative. Don't get into any penny stocks - too risky right now. In six months, you can reinvest some of your profits in some cheap, high-risk stuff, just for fun. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, it appears Putin wants to get back in the driver's seat some time in the future. Communism may have changed, but totalitarianism sure hasn't. That's not him to the left, by the way. That's someone else - from another time and place - Angela, an opera singer. Ciao.
