Well, This Is Turning Out to Be a Nail-Biter of a Friday!

DJIA already down almost 5%, and still falling. This weekend is going to be tense for everyone. And that includes Republican Congress people. They'd better stay in DC and not go to their home states and districts. The pitchforks and torches will be out there.

And Donald Trump? What of Donald Trump? My guess is that he spends the weekend smacking a little white ball around on the grass. Nobody can get to him out there.

No up bumps at all. This could be a record dive at the market close today. Maybe not, but it's heading down at an accelerating pace.
