'Trade wars are good, and easy to win,' Trump tweets

[Labster]

In other news, I'm going full ursa major and pulled all of my money out of stocks yesterday.  Between trade wars, Robert Mueller, and Moviepass, I can't see the economy working out well in the next year, and I don't have the skill to pick winners in a down economy.

So hey, looks like my investment in cash has been paying off; I now have 10% more buying power than I did 6 months ago.  I guess I could have waited until mid-September to sell, but I maybe had a bit too much foresight.  I'm still a bear though, so it's not going back in for a while.

And I mean, hey, Trump is threatening to fire the Federal Reserve Chairman, something that he probably doesn't have the legal authority to do.  Markets sure do love uncertainty, right?  We'll see what happens on Monday, when markets reopen to a government shutdown.
