Looks like hes in and at hazard i say "this time its different" This is not an establishment president. Hes there to tear things down (If hes true to his word). This will undoubtedly impact markets significantly short and long term.

When was the last time a presidential election led to a $60 jump in the gold price in less than 1 day?

Re: Cruiser's perspective..If Trump wins?

It will no doubt be interesting times if he wins

Clocks and daylight savings will change as Trump spins the world a little bit faster[emoji3]

I remember in the 90‘s when Trump was building his "Trump Princess" (ex Nabila), in the Makum yard in Holland.

That is when his financials collapsed and the yard and many key subcontractors went bankrupt.

Trump removed the name before the boat was sold off at a large loss, then the rumours were spread that the letters were made of Solid Gold and he ended up with the last laugh!

Whether true or not, it will be what we can expect.

Where do you cruise?

Thank God I'm already in Canada.

Haven't you noticed yet, globalization is already here.

Hope you don't have a daughter whose rights will be taken away.

The Philippine Peso has also broke above 49.2 to 1USD

that is like an 10 year high as it has averaged around 43 - 44 during that period

I'm not sure they had a choice. Many folk think the one's flaws are simply more obvious than the other's.

Fully understand you Brob. For about 20 years Ive felt The Clintons to be a pretty insincere mob.
160 million people, it would seem, MUST know more than me et al.
Thanks for not hammering me Mate.
Cheers.

Super happy today!

God bless America, land that I love
Stand beside her and guide her
Through the night with the light from above

From the mountains to the prairies
To the oceans white with foam
God bless America, my home sweet home
