The economy appears to be going full steam and we have just made a deal for peace with one of our greatest enemies what happens if we start winning too much? It appears to be a joke but let’s just say we actually deal with DACA as well as the wall and formulate a health care plan in the not to distant future  will we be winning too much? Is there a point where individuals get sick of winning and find someway that this doesn’t occur? Whether it be living in the excess through drugs and alcohol or spending $’s if it was only paper? Or could we in our subconscious vote or not vote that winning takes a break. The elections are coming up sooner then we realize and that might just be the determining factor nobody has counted on.

BREAKING NEWS- June 13th- 9:30 PM.   Here is the first ever interview with Stanley the Raccoon who climbed the UBS building.  Warning this is a biting interview.

INTERVIEWER- Stanley everyone wants to know why you did it?

STANLEY- President Trump was getting all the attention with some deal he made with North Korean’s and I felt us Raccoons were being ignored.

INTERVIEWER – So this was a political statement

STANLEY – Actually UBS wouldn’t answer my phone calls about an investment I wanted to make in Chestnuts.

INTERVIEWER- I’m confused for you’re going us two different motivations for what you did?

STANLEY- What can I say I’m a complex animal.

INTERVIEWER- There are even rumors going around that a squirrel actuall dared you do to and that’s why…

STANLEY – Of course that is the reason.

INTERVIEWER- Can I get a straight answer from you.

STANLEY= That’s what you get when you try to interview especially one who wears a mask.

EXCUSE ME, MY NAME IS STANLEY

One of the rewarding and/or painful investments is the one with human capital attached to it.   This could be an investment that continues to grow overtime like no other as you see a person move from just walkin in to running your business to new heights. Yet the downside can be worse then any loss in the stock market especially if  feelings of betrayal are part of the formula for  unlike paper loses these one’s burn right through you. To the point of an individual losing any interest in this market as a whole with consequences that not only hurt them but all those seeking opportunities. Something to think about the next time someone is willing to invest in YOU.

FOOTNOTE- I’m confident the people who read this blog post would be excellent investments in talent but they might know some one who should read this post before they screw it up for the rest of us.

This week I will literally be more alone then I’ve been in years with my family enjoying their trips with out me.  I’m making sure they can enjoy this time by investing in my work while they invest in the leisure.  Will they’ll be more time for reflection of the sun or clouds?  Now might be the time to get things done but will I find it’s harder to move them along?  I guess in the end my perception of this period will determine how alone I feel or if I can truly be happy with me, myself and I.

I believe that the initiative in the upcoming election to have California split in 3 will win in many more ways then this one vote.  This vote will create a Red wave in California with Republican’s doing better in the state then anyone expected as they are drawn out to vote for this initiative and anyone who supports it.  It might even be enough to put a Cox in the Governnor’s mansion.  Will the initiative pass I think so but the excitement it brings to those who want a viable two party system back in California will be enough to see that at least this occurs in November.

As anyone who has read my blog post knows I’m Red in the Republican sorta way but after the “successful summit” between Presidential Trump & North Korean Leader Kim Jong On” I wanted to see a whole bunch of other colors including Blue.  It’s not that I don’t believe this was a great step I just want to make sure we don’t walk too fast and hit a wall or G-D forbid a rocket.  Yes, I’m skeptical but it’s based on history of the North Korean regime and how it’s played the world in a Poker game since it’s inception.  Over time the leaders of this tyrnical regime continue to have the upper hand because we continue to see their cup over flowing with change when it has only been a few drops that are easily wiped away.  So let me listen carefully from all the critics even those who always “Hee & Haw” because now is the time we must trust but verify every step of the way.

Are you the person who see’s things in those rosy color glasses or do you look for the scratch that is invisible to everyone else?  Things are great BUT isn’t a bad trait to have but it can be a bit annoying. For every party has to end BUT does it have to happen before the glass of Champagne is even opened? We need the those who thrill with victory and those who are constantly worried about defeat BUT on a timetable that makes sure both are appreciated.

FOOTNOTE- BUT this might lead to my next post.

I’m sorry but I’m running out the door so I can only write 2 blog posts vs my normal 3. Yes you could consider this post but what I was really going to write would have had you crashing through your own door.  So I bid a fond adieu until my mind, fingers and clock are all on the same blog page G-D willing later tonight.

Last night the current President of The United States had the first meeting with a North Korean leader in history and a significant deal that may effect the entire world was signed, while Google Trends says that you were more fascinated with the debate of Pancakes Vs Breakfast.  Yes this significant event of whether IHOP should become IHOB led you craving their search engine for more information. According to Google this is where the world’s mind has gone. Which too me really signifies Google search engine with the real B not being being breakfast but Baloney and I’ll take mine with mustard not Syrup.
