NewsBusters ^ | 1/8/2020 | Joseph Vazquez

The liberal media can pipe down now that President Donald Trump’s formidable economy is crushing it following his speech concerning the U.S.-Iran conflict Jan. 8. CNBC reported Jan. 8 that “Stocks rose on Wednesday after President Donald Trump spoke about an attack by Iran at an Iraqi airbase that hosts American troops, which led to a massive sell-off in overnight trading.” The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 213 points (0.8 percent), The Nasdaq increased 0.7 percent to an all-time high, and the S&P 500 increased 0.7 percent to hit a record high. This came after Trump stated that Iran“‘appears to be ‘standing down’” after their attacks on the Ain al-Asad airbase overnight, according to CNBC.

I’m betting the media soft-pedal that piece of information and continue the deception about iran for a few more days.

Trump plays Grandmaster-level political chess. His opponents play political tic-tac-toe. :-)

Someone set off a firecracker in the Green Zone in Baghdad today, causing the Dow to drop 100 points in the final minutes of trading.

Wheeee! Mama Like!

Gold and Silver are the highest I’ve seen in the 15 years I’ve been in the PM game. Some selling off today, but heading back up to greater heights in the coming weeks once again is my prediction. YMMV. ;)

As always, DIVERSIFICATION is your friend when investing. No unsecured debt (credit cards, student loans, etc.), mortgage-free land and a home, Precious Metals (physical; not on paper!) and Stocks & Bonds (through an IRA or 401K) in four major groups: International, Growth & Income, Aggressive Growth, & Growth.

Nice to have: Guns, ammo, sturdy boots, warm socks, sleeping bag, waterproof matches, canned goods and a manual can opener. ;)
