Lots of business experience joining the incoming President's staff. Do you think their former companies will benefit by their voices and actions in their new positions? I was wondering if anyone is going to put together a mutual fund of companies to take advantage of these relationships. If so, what would the fund be called? Would you be a buyer?

Anyone betting against the Trump train? I'm not hearing any love for China and we're much more intertwined with them financially than Russia. APPL, F, GM, YUM SBUX, WMT are all heavily invested in China. If we hit China with trade sanctions wouldn't these companies stand to suffer as a result?

Back to Russia, I saw where Vaneck Russia ETF (RSX) is up almost 19% for the month.
