IMPEACHMENT DAY: Markets Press New Highs

Back in the 80’s no one, and I mean no one, curbed their dogs. You took the dog out, while smoking a cigarette, and oversaw him/her shitting right on the sidewalk and you’d walk away from it — hoping someone would come and step in it, maybe slip and fall too. You could be talking to someone outside their home and your dog could be shitting on their walkaway or lawn and it was not a big deal. You walked away from it without remorse or feeling like you did something wrong. Stepping in dog shit was part of life back then. As a young boy, I must’ve stepped in shit 100 times. I’d scrape the bottom of my sneakers best I could and then run back home for supper. My grandfather would say “you brought dog-shit into the house?” And I’d reply “maybe so — but where’s supper?” He’d then tell me to “put those shoes outside” and I’d do it and then we’d eat. No big deal. A normal sidewalk in Brooklyn, back in the 80s, was absolutely bombarded by shit. Riding on your bicycle was truly a test of skill, attempting to weave out of the way of all the piles of shit. Believe me, many a tire slipped into it — sending the bike rider headlong into the concrete curb.

There’s a trade in there somewhere.

Stocks are drifting higher. My trading account is doing fine — much better than @NitJain’s or @Diddy’s — because both of them are terrible terrible traders.

BTW: Trump is being impeached today. Good times.
