That, 10 00 eastern, nancy pelosi will try to upstage the president. He will hold a News Conference to announce who will manage the impeachment drive when the senate trial begins next week. There is some gamesmanship involved, the speakers announcement is time to upstage the big event of the day, the trade deal signing. Nancy pelosi wants to keep the focus on the president s troubles, not the president s triumph. The market opens half an hour from now, no fireworks expected, the Earnings Report from big banks largely solid, no big surprises. The dow is going to be down 70. The s p seven, nasdaq down maybe 11. The stock price of target premarket way down.

He will be a rock n roll liveaction show and wait until you hear what the democrats said at the debate and what the president said. We ha

Readers.
