I have no idea on timing. It's far easier to tell what will happen than when it will happen. I would say that what is going on in terms of trade policy is going to have very important consequences. |
I hope he runs for president someday. I'm 75. He's got to hurry if I'm going to be able to vote for him. |
I need all the help I can get -- and Ken has certainly provided it, |
I never attempt to make money on the stock market. I buy on the assumption that they could close the market the next day and not reopen it for five years. |
I personally think it would be better if the NYSE remained as a neutral, not-for-big-profit institution. The exchange has done a very good job over the centuries.

I think you'll know what they will do and won't do, ... More companies ought to do that. |
I want to give my kids enough so that they could feel that they could do anything, but not so much that they could do nothing. |
I was hoping you'd tell me. |
I've never seen a system as good as Coke has now. |
If a business does well, the stock eventually follows. |
If California has troubles, the country has troubles, |
