“He was never interested in things that might happen. He’s totally focused on the stock market, the economy and always bashing his predecessor and giving him no credit,” the person said.

When you post material like this, just keep in mind that Politico, NY
To say Trump was "totally focused on the stock market, the economy and always bashing (whoever)" is pretty accurate (when he wasn't playing golf, tweeting, etc.). And, by extension, the rest of the statement seems accurate, though there are limitations on how much impact a US administration could have on the outcome of a lethal virus. A response to something that comes out of left field can always be better. Cutting back on his golf game time and his twitter time would have helped (Nero fiddled).John wrote:** 19-Mar-2020 World View: Crisis
As for the Politico claims that you quoted, I actually follow these
issues closely and watch the daily press conferences and interviews,
and I can assure you that the Administration, including Trump, are
scared to death about this crisis, and are totally focused on it.
How do you know that's accurate? Did you read it in an articleHiggenbotham wrote: > To say Trump was "totally focused on the stock market, the economy

I took half a position in the ETF this morning at about $11.30. This is long term. Would have preferred PSLV but it's at a premium this morning. Tried to get some PSLV yesterday afternoon with bids under the market on a possible shakeout at the low but wasn't successful. That may be a sign the low is in. It would seem reasonable that smart, patient players would take PSLV from discount to premium at the real low (unlike last year).aeden wrote: As for the etf the 52 Week Range is $11.68 - $18.35
I will open a modest position as before with pslv 52 Week Range $4.44 - $7.19
Trump is absolutely obsessed with the stock market in a bad way. He's constantly talking about the stock market to the press, on Twitter, you name it. It comes out of his own mouth or off his Twitter.John wrote:** 19-Mar-2020 World View: Bashing

somewhere, or hear someone say it on tv?
To the people of South Carolina, Tom Steyer is a joke, laughed at by everyone, a total incompetent. He made money in coal, now he “hates” coal. Did you see him fawning over Crazy Bernie? Has no chance, a loser for South Carolina, doesn’t deserve your vote!
Good move. I agree. I think we may see lower prices in the next 2 months but I would put the probability at less than 50/50. Still, I will wait for it. A dip back in the next 2 months toward the low can probably be bought with more confidence than catching the falling knife this week.aeden wrote: The program trade triggered for pslv two day ago and sold it on uptick.
