Agreed. The Donald is doing some very good things for our economy, but he will never get credit for them. I've often wondered what force within him keeps him going, despite the 95% negative press he gets. Anyway, I have to be honest with you. I hope there will be a 50% crash in the stock market, which won't be good for Trump, but will be good resetting the markets to a more normal level for long term returns. If the Fed insists on backstopping the markets, then we will have a VERY long malaise just like they had in Japan, which they still have not figured out how to get out of. However, I think Powell is not going to stop his normalization of interest rates and the balance sheet. I think the markets still think there's a Yellen Put beneath it, but that is gone. I think April and May will be down and a bigger bear market will continue throughout 2018. I think 2018 will be down and as we get into 2019, it may be down again until we reach something like a 50% correction from the peak of 2872.
