But if you consider what reaction there would be in risk assets if real unspinnable evidence came to light, even if it wasn't enough to roll the guillotine out into the town square, you could see some run for cover I think.
maybe. The S&P closed at ath's a couple times last week. The ^VIX closed sub 10.0. The pattern in the last year or so has been: "OMG! If XYZ happens, the markets will crash!" Volatility rises into the XYZ date. XYZ happens, after all, and the markets stage a spectacular rally. OK fine, that's tradeable. With Trump now there's no binary event scheduled, not yet - just random tweets n headlines n bombshells that fade while the spoos makes new highs.

In my opinion it doesnt even have to be criminal to matter. Doesnt have to lead to impeachment either. Maybe it does have to be all that if trading the s+p is the focus. But if you consider what reaction there would be in risk assets if real unspinnable evidence came to light, even if it wasn't enough to roll the guillotine out into the town square, you could see some run for cover I think. Then...bt big fd right? Especially when the tone deaf opposition's strategy is trying to sell a not so brand spanking new New Deal. http://www.cnbc.com/2017/05/26/democ...-strategy.html...
I also wonder weather non-disclosure of contacting a Russia officer is a crime? Is this a law?

interesting, but I didn't know cruise ships docked in Rome - can they go up the Tiber? Anyway, it costs me ~$100/day just to live in my house, pay the mortgage & utilities, eat, drink, etc....maybe I should just get on the boat....

Talking to Russians isn't a crime. Lying about it is sometimes a crime. Depends on who you are lying to and in what circumstances I guess.

about 100,000 of em living around Seattle - Ukrainians, mostly. did business with a few of them....kinda scary....nothing shady at all about the work I do, but they made me feel like a drug dealer or something....some insisted on paying in cash. Luckily I had a Carl's Jr. bag that was big enough. Girls are really cute and if you go to a dentists or doctors office, or a nursing home around here, you will see them there. Cute cute, sexy accent, hard as nails, shopping for a doctor to marry. Just people...

I live in a tourist town. We get 6 month to two year waves of people from different countries. When i first moved here it was Polish and Czech. Then after a while all Russian, Latvian and Ukrainian. After that was a 2 or 3 year surge of South Americans. For the last few years seems everyone who's coming for work is coming from Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan. Interesting. I've never figured out what drives the waves like that. I imagine it's changes in immigration policy with this country or that through work visas, etc. I love it. Meet and work with people from all over the world here.

Yes. Along with with half the continental US as well it seems. Might be time to buy some beachfront in PR around now. Wait til the bailout comes and retire with boat drinks and sunsets. Got all that here but might be underwater (literally) by the time I can slow down.

They want you to come rich gringo, see Act 22, the downside is you'd have to live there at least 183 days a year, which I'd guess would be about 160 too many for me....

ok, so, how do you think the markets would react if Congress tries to impeach DT? If he is impeached?

Brilliant, the "macron-swerve" made me laugh out loud! Also, DT thought he could "presidential handshake" him afterwards, but then Macron put his hand on top of DT's arm and gave him a patronizing tap on the shoulder afterwards, putting DT back in his place. Funnily, a couple of seconds later, DT realized this and tapped Macron as well, but this made no impact whatsoever. Hilarious.
