    For sure.
    I just bought a few shares of EBAY. It isn't doing very well right now, but we'll see--I just bought my granddaughters 1966 Barbies and a lot of 60-s and 70's Barbie clothes on Ebay. My son just bought bikes on Craigslist for them. Maybe the future is like Cuba, everyone recycling the same things with different owners.

    I wouldn't buy a big position in either stock, that's for sure.

    What about the stuff already in the country?

    I have heard about at least three more Amazon package stores opening around my travel ground. Sounds like the stores are just changing and the thrift stores will be back to doing better c type of sales, soon.

    What about the stuff already in the country? It’s only going to last so long. My estimates are we’ll maybe start seeing shortages late May at the earliest. It really depends on how much retailers brought in before the tariffs took effect.

    Announcement on WH website about China. Sounds like it's more of a plan of a plan, than an actual plan. Announcement tomorrow.

    I just read it in the paper. For better or worse, I still feel that this was all part of Trump's plan. A risky game, but a potentially lucrative one for those on the inside. Am I crazy?

    You crash the market, your friends buy. You pump the market, your friends sell. You keep repeating.
