Lock 75

There is a remarkable amount of locks along the Cumberland and Ohio Canal. I can only imagine the staff needed to keep it running being a major cost of operations.

How worried should I be? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Many people are worried about the indigestion that new President will cause while eating their TV dinner in the evening. Some obscure threat by the politicians rumbling in a city hundreds of miles away. But I worry more about my investments. The President-elect is unconventional, to say the least.

He has ideas, at least on the campaign trail, that seem to go against the conventional wisdom when it comes to trade and economy. Whether or not he will implement them when he’s surrounded by smart men and women in a room is another issue, but it’s still worrying, as many of his ideas could drive the economy straight-off the cliff. Kind of like it did in his first term, that is after a global pandemic overshadowed everything.

Only time will tell. And there isn’t much I can do about the President-elect, though I can restructure some of my investments and just ride the roller coast. Bulk up as they say.
