  1. Not only did I predict the trump victory on this very website I also predicted the rise of the stock market which I capitalized on. I intend also to capitalize on my free lunch. Phil when will you be in California?

  2. That’s true, toucan! I will be happy to buy that lunch in exchange for your next investment tip!

    (no plans for a California trip right now, unless you count changing planes in SFO en route to Hawaii)
