Obviously, you have the homegrown terrorist. I dont know how to stop that or detect that. You have other terrorist threats that come across the border. I believe in the case of the paris shooting, i believe he was homegrown, but, again, there are so many threats that come in from across border, and its essential, absolutely, to control ones border. The other thing that has me, keeps me literally awake at night is the threat against aviation. We know that would be the super bowl for the terrorists to knock down an airplane in flight, technicall particularly if it was full of americans. We have taken measures overseas to reduce that threat. But its something i watch every day, because there are a number of plots we are watching very, very closely, and theyre very sophisticated and very threatening. The number one thing in my mind is to protect the american people. So well do that. You said on the homegrown threat, a lot of people think ppart of the San Bernardino as shooting and theto to
No chit chat. I stay focused. Since this is when the fundamentals really come to the fore and direct the overall direction of the market like today where the dow gained 29 points.

The stock has been advancing of late, was up nicely today. Even though its still dirt cheap, i have to wonder if bank of america has gotten ahead of itself thanks to the excellent earn
Earnings reports, or if youre like me, you hire someone to sleep for you during this period, only to fall behind terribly in the morning conference calls. This is the week where theres so much confusion. So much cacalf any of sound that the market stumbles under its own weight. Thats why you should have cash going into next week. Weve told the club that subscribes to the newsletter, raise some quash. Some things occur during this next week, the rush partner season. And they rarely earn much in the way of upside. In other words, its usually a very bad week for the bulls. Believe me, it wont start out that way. We kick things off on monday with the conkblom rat weve been raving about for years. Now you can expect the difficult to understand quarterly read. Because danaher just spun off a company. I expect an announcement that theyre about to use the hepatitis franchise, i know gilead doesnt like that its down. Texas instruments, quietly reliable company. Tuesdays huge. This ones always a
