The oval office. He said because he was not doing a good job. Who did he say that to. Henry kissingg. R was in the office. Interesting. Did you see your twitter timelines explode when this happened. Yes. It was incredible. I was on there talking about our giants. And it did go down. It kept going. It kept going. And it was just and it keeps going today. Yes. Obviously a lot of interest in what is going to happen next. There is a lot of talk on twitter and disbelief and anger by lawmakers in the bay area and beyond. Some lawmakers are showing support for the president today following his sudden firing of the fbi director james comey. The action came in a onepage letter yesterday. In it the president said he was following requests from his attorney general and Deputy Attorney general who criticized how comey handled the Hillary Clinton investigation. It is a sharp contrast to comments that the president made in november while on the campaign trail. And i have to give the fbi credit. That

At this point the backlash against the white house shows little sign of weakening. We are getting new details now on what led up to the wiring of the fbi director, yesterday. Sources say james comey asked the justice department, just last week, or more resources to conduct the investigation into russian meddling in the 2016 election. Democrats suggest the president is trying to stall the investigation by firing james comey. But according to the white house he was let go over his handling of the investigation into Hillary Clintons email practices. In a meeting today with henry kissinger, the president spoke briefly. He was not doing a good job very simply. Director comey made a startling revelation that he had essentially taken a stick of dynamite and thrown into the department of justice going around the chain of command when he decided to take steps without talking to the attorney general or Deputy Attorney general one holding a press conference telling them he would not let them know
In fact, if you arent at least a little worried at all times, you cant call yourself a professional all pros are paranoid in this business why . Because without some permanent paranoia, you end up missing days like today where the dow lost 158 points, and nasdaq plunged 1 no day can be dismissed, especially not a big down day like this one where you might miss some major disaster lurking around the corner. Before you get to what has me concerned here, let me point something out. I got into this game im older than the old pros who hate to call it the game i got into the game at 1100. The dow is now 21,000320 back then the dow had just run up 300 points over a series of months to get to that 1,100. I liked the tape i liked the market what did i hear at the time .
