The Warning Signs Advise Investment Caution
– IntelligentSpeculator.net
The election of Donald Trump was always going to mean the months ahead would be interesting. He is viewed variously in society as a businessman who would shake up the political community to a man who was a bully with little substance. He has insufficient knowledge to do the job his critics say. In his first weeks, he has already been confronted with questions about the selection of his key personnel, has backed down over healthcare despite having a republican majority in both Houses and now his financial ideas are about to be scrutinized.Credit Issues
Credit strategists have observed contraction in bank lending; money supply has slowed and this is certain to have an impact on the economy.

Closing 1 Trade (FB & PYPL)
– IntelligentSpeculator.net
Good Sunday morning! Tomorrow morning, I will be closing out one of the 7 live trades, as I close the Long Facebook (FB) and Short Paypal (PYPL) trade that was started on January 3rd. The trade currently stands at +21.10%. Last week I wrote a deeper dive into my thoughts about Paypal on SeekingAlpha, you can see it here:Paypal is standing on the edge of a cliff
Facebook on the other hand has been doing tremendously well and while it continues to be under fire for a few things, I do like what I’m seeing out of Facebook and will certainly write more about it soon. There’s also a decent chance that I’ll be opening a new long & short trade with Facebook and as you know, it does remain my biggest single stock position.
As is always the case, you can see my 2017 (and past years) long & short stock picks and returns here:

Who cares the most about you? Who knows the most about you? Politicians like to smile, kiss babies and make you feel special. But, in the end, you are free to live your life and only you can build your wealth.There is no government program that will make you great. Even, if the United States becomes great again, that might not translate to your financial portfolio. Learn why you should concentrate on making gold great again.
Gold is Great
Throughout history, the leaders of the world have tried to control gold. American President Franklin Delano Roosevelt confiscated gold when the country was in the Great Depression. China forbade ownership of gold under the communists. Why do politicians seek to control gold?
Gold is money. Gold is power. The elite are just like you, they were born of a mother. They put their pants on, one leg at a time, just like you. What is the difference between the elite and you?
The elite own gold.
While the powerful have been holding down the price of gold, they have been purchasing it behind-the-scenes…
