Caution is the Word of the Week.
Today we mourn the loss of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. The unfortunate loss of Justice Scalia is already creating political positioning starting with Senator Mitch McConnell and Senator Harry Reid. Scalia had not been dead an hour when the political warfare began. Talk about your garden variety imbeciles.Jane King stops by for her weekly visit and continues to express concern about the economy. She regrets having to open her statements for tax purposes not wanting to see her portfolio performance. Jane talks about the troubles that she believes we will continue to see and worries about how deep this correction will be.
