Couple that with the start of the jewish holiday hanukkah, a special time. Time for investors to think about what to do with portfolios as this year draws to a close. So tonight, well look how the markets tend to behave the final weeks of the year and how that sets up for 2014.

Then, of course, there is President Trumps meeting with german chancellor angel merkel. The situation getting even worse. There she threw a look his way in a joint presser that, lets just say, was filled with subtext. Earlier trump seemingly refused to shake merkels hand when she asked if they that shake hands. Everyone else was asking too, handshake. She was ignored. One president who puts his hands on her shoulders and another president who wont touch her. Lets hope we get a new president that treats the new leader of the free world

So you can suspend and you can put restrictions and you can do whatever you want. This is for the security of the country. I listen to a panel of judges and i will comment on that. I will not comment on the statements made by certainly one judge. I have to be honest that if these judges wanted to in my opinion help the court in terms of respect for the court, they do what they should be doing. I watched last night in amazement and i
