Heading Towards The Light
When a trade goes wrong, and the market gives you a chance to get out, you take it. You get out as fast as you can.
If I were President Trump, and China is openly saying they want to make a deal, you take it. Figure it out, and get it done. Even if it’s not a great deal on paper, it can be spun however you want it. This has dragged on long enough, and everyone is tired of hearing about.
Once that is behind you, run to congress and do a $2 trillion infrastructure bill and finance it with 30-year debt. Take advantage of these record low rates.
That is what I would do, but then again, I’m not the President, and probably never will be.
