Update Note to Readers

I have been on a family vacation over the past couple of weeks and am just now catching up on emails and news events, etc. As soon as I can I will post new articles. Obviously, the global panic related to the virus epidemic is causing some havoc in the markets, so clearly we should follow that closely. It's too early for me to tell how much impact it may have.

The political environment in the US remains as volatile and divided as ever so that will continue to be something to monitor all year since it could impact markets and financial stability. The rhetoric will only get more and more intense of course until the election is over with. Whether the results lead to any significant changes is impossible to project at this time. It is reasonably safe to assume that if President Trump is re elected, the odds of significant changes to our present monetary financial system are low.
=======================================================

This is way off topic, but I do endeavor to try and provide helpful information here as best I can. We just finished a family vacation to Walt Disney World and were fortunate to be able to experience the new attraction their called The Rise of the Resistance which is part of their new Star Wars themed area.

If readers here have any interest in information about that attraction or tips we used that seemed to help us obtain a coveted boarding pass, I would be happy to do an off topic blog post to share the information. The boarding passes for this ride are hard to get due the the overwhelming demand every day that Disney is currently unable to meet).

Just email me to let me know if there is enough reader interest to warrant it. Meanwhile my daughter wrote this article which may be useful:

This recent article linked below gives you an idea of how crazy the situation has become there at Disney World because of the surge of demand for this new attraction:

We had never crowds like this before except around holidays and certainly not at the end of February. It appears that the attraction is drawing in thousands of extra visitors to the parks every day, even on days not historically known for large crowds.
