Pair with a long position in Dow, evidently. There’s your long/short hedge.

trump truly is remarkable (and not in a good way). even “think of the children” can’t seem to hinder his destructive influence.

So the pesticides might damage babies’ brain development, so what? Trump knows you can get by bigly without a functioning brain. /s or is it?

There’s economic research to support your recommendation: http://www.nber.org/papers/w23356

“Using novel data on White House visitors from 2009 through 2015, we find that corporate executives’ meetings with key policymakers are associated with positive abnormal stock returns.”

The Trump administration is amazingly effective. They have created such a bombastic shit show that no one has the time to really do in depth reporting on things like this. It will be mentioned, forgotten, and babies will be born with developmental issues. In about 20 years I expect we will see it changed on the heels of a few lawsuits but until then… the shit show goes on.

This is exactly what I’m scared of. I saw it when shrub took office – they crapped on people so fast it was like a brontosaurus after eating three tons of spoiled oysters.

I know; brontos are vegan, but . . . but its so lyrical

Oh, yes. One of my favorite shows. Actual funny sf, which is rarer than francium.
