Jobs and markets at a peak. If Trump stimulates a grown economy we will see inflation, meaning higher interest rates ahead. If he displaces Powell and installs a stooge, more inflation, destruction of the currency. But there's no growth to be had. You need inputs to create growth. There are few if any idle inputs.

Nothing but red ink in my watch list these days. There is fear ahead.
