https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-46637638I don’t know if this has spooked investors or not. God knows there’s enough other crap going down to do that.
I would like to know how this might affect the Special Counsel and / or the FBI? The latter has a number of “high profile” investigations ongoing. Talk about “security” - I won’t feel more secure if any part of the government’s anti-terrorist operation is hampered.
And, how about the post office? As an “old-school” investor, some of my transactions are still submitted via USPS. Timely delivery important.

Hope you're doing well Hank.
Apparently, the compromise being floated is to increase the funding for 'border security' and allow the Dreamers to stay. That said, it's such macho silliness WTF knows.
Personally, I vote for a shutdown until Donald resigns AND has all of his offspring sterilized . . . or simply a General Strike.
And so it goes,

@Slick- Knowing rono, I'm not entirely certain that he's joking.
@Hank- Post Office is supposed to be OK.
Personally, I hope Donnie keeps his arms all folded up and goes from orange to red faced. If he stands his ground for just a bit longer, he and his followers will make like the Titanic - they can all go down together. Erratic, silly and self-serving. Lets end this, so America has a chance to be normal again (forget "Great" for now).
But have no fears ... ongoing IRS activities will include "continuing to complete and test upcoming filing year programs; processing electronic returns, up to the point of refund ...
"most IRS activities will stop during a shutdown. ... includ[ing] Issuing refunds ..."
This is Christmas Eve. Chill and enjoy the day with your friends and family. This insanity will pass and we'll be better for it. My mother always said, "if it doesn't kill you, it will make you stronger.'
For those that have not enjoyed . . . .
and so it goes,
peace.

Merry Christmas,
