The Stock Market is on fire because everyone is expecting to bring overseas money home without paying taxes on it. Spreading some extra love on the shareholders. But that money will be squandered by the company elite before the shareholder gets a much smaller share.

And with additional tax breaks that the working class will have to pay for 'at a later date', it's not so rosy of a outlook for me anyway.
I'll sell my stocks before everyone realizes it's not going to pay off they way they think and buy short options going forward.
I bow to nobody for anything except to take what I can get from the writing on the wall.
You can't make any money doing what everyone else is doing. They are wrong most of the time.
