Day One - Inauguration

January 20th 2017 – Inauguration Day.
Dow 19,819
NASDAQ 5560.7
Unemployment 4.7% (Not 42%)

Was there ever a more appropriate morning to fling your alarm clock out the window than January 20th 2017?  Launch it, curse the day and roll over and go to sleep – for four years.  Hell I’m willing to bet that even the sun itself was trying to figure out a way to bail.  That day was, as we are all so painfully aware, Inauguration Day for the 45th President of the United States – Donald J. Trump. 

It was the beginning of the next stage of a journey that’s lasted a good (or bad) 20 months.  Or as Jerome J. Garcia and his band mates once put it “a long strange trip.”  Yes the Trump stage show has been held over. "We're playing this lounge for 4 years folks. It's gonna be really great. Like nothing you've ever seen."
