Economy some more and the dow will hit, wait for it, 32,000 this year. Thats optimism. Were at 29,000 right now. Then theres this, the New York Times issues its endorsement for the democrats nominee. The times is the bible of the Democrat Party and they split their decision. Theyve endorsed Amy Klobuchar and Elizabeth Warren. This is fascinating. Not biden, not bernie, not the former mayor of new york, bloomberg, no, left and far left is the times choice. Later today, the president flies off to the global elite get together known as davos. Picture this, please, the president fresh off trade wins and a growing prosperous economy, addressing over there while the trump haters over here try to impeach him. Im not keen on the expression but you cant make it up. Varney company the tenth Anniversary Edition is about to begin. Stuart watch out. Situation, step aside.
