The Market On Thursday

  Good morning. It is 50 degrees and sunny here in the Upper Hudson Valley, the forecast predicts a sunny day with temperatures in the low 70s this afternoon. If you live in this area we are in that temperature-wise golden part of the year and how do you bottle it? I like the new Clinton ad showing Pence's false debate statements juxtaposed against real footage of both Pence and Trump saying the exact opposite. Won't matter to Trump world. I was reading comments at Brietbart this morning, admittedly a miserable way to start the day, but I do recommend that you check it out. Extracting a few common threads of thinking by the alt-right crowd we get:
 - Trump is going to win in a landslide.
 - Liberals are going to vote for Trump because liberals hate Obama also and want Trump.
 - There are millions of people out there afraid to say they will vote for Trump but who will pull the lever for him on election day.
 - Liberals and the main stream media are in cahoots working to undermine Trump but it won't succeed because Trump is so loved and powerful.
 - The election is rigged and is being stolen as we breathe.
 - Liberals are violent and will kill conservatives.
 - Hillary Clinton murders people.
And it goes on and on echoing these kinds of fears and ideas back and forth and back and forth. This is Trump world.

  At 9:00 a.m. ET DOW futures are down 27 points and the price of oil per barrel is up, now trading close to $50 a barrel. The market is poised to open lower.

  Notice that Donald Trump's favorite thing in the entire world beyond himself and his money, Twitter, is up for sale. May the next owner be a liberal and ban Trump for life. Hey I can start alt-right rumors too. The weekly jobless first time claims came in at 249,000, the lowest level in 43 years, more bad news for Trump.

The worst kept secret in Silicon Valley is that Twitter is for sale. But what if nobody wants to buy it?
