The Stock Market Has Turned Nasty. It Was Long Overdue.

By JEFF SOMMER | Feb 9th 2018

The G.O.P. Is Flirting With Fiscal Disaster

By STEVEN RATTNER | Feb 9th 2018

Enormous deficits in the ninth year of an economic recovery, with unemployment down to 4.1 percent, make no sense.

If I were as "smart" as Steven Rattner I would be holding more cash.
I think equities will do well into October.
If Trump is winning continue holding equities.  If congress flips, hold more cash.
I there is a crash, buy on recovery.
I can panic at any time. 
Probably there will be no crash until the presidential election.
A Democratic congress without a super majority in the senate will be ineffective.

Immigration will continue to be mired.
