On the lines of my previous post…
It will be interesting to see how much more dysfunctional our congress + executive branch will be next year. I suspect it will get worse.
Now, what financial instrument can help us make money given an increasingly dysfunctional government? Buy more Citigroup stock since the current spending bill rolls back some regulation in favor of Citigroup? By the way, why on earth should Citigroup be allowed to resume the same reckless risk taking that preceded the most recent crisis? Who voted for congressmen and senators that would even entertain adding these unrelated items to a budget? Also, I believe I saw something in the spending bill descriptions about government supported terrorism insurance. If that doesn’t sound fishy I don’t know what is.
Never mind. Ideas on how to make money in 2015 anyone? 🙂
