It will be interesting to see what the markets do tomorrow

The world (namely investors) do not like instability. They like predictability. The whole trade thing situation with Mexico, the Muslim ban, the NSC situation, airports under big stress, etc.

I predict a decent sized pull-back this week. Hopefully that gets some of the bigger money people's attention.

1. The capitalists all wanted Trump's tax breaks and deregulation so they voted for him

forgetting that he's insane and clueless, and he's surrounded by white nationalists and right-wing nut jobs.

2. Japanese and Australian markets have opened down

Let's see how far down they go.

3. How much down?

A market slide will get everybody's attention. OTOH, the markets can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

4. Less than 1 percent

Not yet significant but it is early.

6. DOW futures are down about 41 right now.

That's not a lot but it is early. Bloomberg already reporting that his trade policies could stop growth.

5. Correction back to actual reality.

7. Dollar opened down against euro & pound. S&P futures diwn

It is early and thin trading, but so far off about 0.5% each. Not a big movement yet.

8. Prime Minister Trudeau needs to cancel his meeting. That will give it the negative shock it needs.

The U S would be isolated from its three neighbors.
