About market, TAPE was UP @ open, then tweet storm took a toll with references to impeachment, market crash and Attorney General refusing to accept pressure and willingness to uphold law, all in all a very messy scenario. Chinese tit for tat tariffs came into effect also. Market weathered all this nicely and had minor loss by close, new highs were holding the lead. There is only a closing BLOG on Friday's around 7 PM.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.
