Something is always coming.
Best guesses or convictions are welcome, good bad funny or indifferent. No inside information is assumed.

I'm going with likely odds that the Ginna N plant will fail due to being 30 years beyond its 'brittle' closure date since Trump thinks N plant closures are for financial and not scientific reasons. All science advisor cabinate positions and gov. science boards have gone unfilled.

President Jackson of the trail of tears fame and much admired by Trump for tough treatment of minorities is going to take a propaganda back seat to another President. This time to show valiant presidential courage in the face of accusations of treason. This warping of history will work only on Donald's base. Lies will be as common as the dollar bill.

Well Russia just dumped half it's US treasury bonds. If China follows suit them dollars ain't going to be worth the paper they are printed on.

Speculation is gambling. As gamblers know, the scared money does not win. Is your forecast 'China will dump treasury bonds'? If so...
That is a foolish bet.

Tell me Donuel what do bankers do when they set exchange rates, if not cheating or gambling?

Russia has already sold half it's US bonds. A more pertinent question to ask is what would the US do if China sold US bonds as well?

Confidence is the only game in town, you had best pray no-one loses it.
