Too little too late? At least oil prices are dropping. There is already talk of another cut at the regularly scheduled meeting on the 30th. My house isn’t even done yet and I may be refinancing. ---

Good to see my 12 year streak of travelling internationally for spring break is coming to an end because the same trips I took the last couple of years out of toronto for 12-1400 are now well over $2000…thank you george. And who’d have thought that master economist himself, JEG, would have been wrong? Oh, and The Russian, you’re young and probably don’t have that much savings yet, but in the future, it would be good to diversify your assets beyond 3 or 4 companies in the same damn industry. ---

Word. BTW i actually came out positive yesterday. It was about a wash but still on the positive side. Morning news hyped things worse then they turned out. Of course the fed cut helped lol.
