My favorite holiday of the year is here; but do not fret I’ve been doing this long enough and am old enough to not toss corny Hallow’s Eve jokes your way. I will not remind you about how spooky it is outside now, still dark, even though it’s 7am. And I certainly will not try to tie in the spooky aesthetic with stocks, somehow suggesting we’re all trapped in a god damned haunted house and mad man Yellen is on the loose — trying to take away our interest payments on our CDs.
Nasdaq futures are up 11 and everything else is rather un-notable. Europe is blah. Asia was blah. And I just had a tall glass of Almond chocolate milk. It tastes just like Yohoo.
Here are some important headlines.
Under Armour beats by $0.03, misses on revs; Lowers 2017 outlook

There aren’t any happenings so far, after yesterday’s extreme happenings. I’ve been busy — damn it — so quit giving me a hard time.

…Republicans in Congress know perfectly well that Drumpf is utterly unfit for office and has been abusing his position for personal gain. Many of them surely suspected, long before Monday’s indictments, that members of his inner circle, and perhaps he himself, have colluded with a hostile foreign power.
If they nonetheless circle the wagons around Drumpf — in particular, if they allow him to fire Robert Mueller, which now seems all too likely — there will be one main reason: Drumpf offers their big opportunity to cut taxes for the very wealthy. Indeed, the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center estimates that almost 80 percent of the Drumpf tax cut would go to people with incomes over $1 million; these people would get an average cut of around $230,000 a year.

Halloween is my least favorite holiday. I see no pleasure in festive celebration including depictions of horrific injuries and medical conditions. A night of costumes and role playing for things we have enough of already.
Lighten up mate. It is a form of catharsis which is good for your soul.
Happy Pedoween!
Thanks! What are your children dressed as today?
Kevin Spacey and the Pedosta brothers.
Donald and Baby Ivanka would’ve better suited the lil irontranny dont you think
Nah. They were thinking satanic pedophiles or Democrats. Told them they are the same thing.
