Well isn't that special! As a convenience to myself, I bought pesos at a local (Grass alley CA) Wells Fargo yesterday, and only got 18.59 to the
dollar. Fortunately, they only had six thousand pesos on hand! And, I don't have to stop at the border!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

many enemy's on both sides of the aisle.

Trump made a lot of promises. If he keeps them, the economy is toast. If he does not honor promises, he is toast.
Rip up trade agreements, economy will colapse.
Throw out obamacare without replacing the insurance, he will be lynched.
Keep brown nosing putin, he will be impeached for treason.
He promises to bring manufacturing jobs back to usa. Aint gonna happen, economy has already been globalized.
Tax cuts for the rich and continuing economic malaise for middle class, rust belt and rural usa, sayonara gop.
Continue to lip serve the alt-right white nationalists, he and gop will go down in same infamy as hitler.
Tax cuts for the rich, and ss and medicare cuts,... doesnt he know old people vote in higher proportion than younger?

Fear, panic, and the unknown often drive the market, and if you don't panic yourself, you could make money by betting in the opposite direction of the
herd.
The pesos free fall the last two days was mainly in part of the rest of the world, believing that Trump is going to tear up NAFTA, and impose high
tariffs on goods from Mexico to the US to punish US corporations for moving plants to Mexico, and to punish Mexico for being a weaker nation, and to
punish Mexico for not for agreeing to build the wall.
It's amazing that even highly educated people who work on wall street and trade currencies could believe such pre-election bluster from Trump.
Trump's not going to tear up NAFTA or impose high tariffs, not if he own GOP party has anything to say about it. The stuff about the WALL" was just
red meat for the white blue collar worker feeling threatened by the changing demographics of America.
Some believe the peso will go to 22 vs the US $1 dollar, and if so, I may be time to bet in the opposite direction. Of course I would also like to see
oil prices start to recover before making such a bet.

Don't bet on it.
From a standpoint of human dignity, the maquiladoras have converted a section of working Mexico society to the economic level of field hands. Mexico
has been able to compete in that world market with a government which regulates factory workers at a wage level that competes with China. They just
don't get mud in their shoes. Thank NAFTA for that.

Dennis, from the point of view of the multinational corporations, what's the problem with NAFTA?
The rust belt workers are crying about losing their manufacturing job, but NAFTA destroyed thousands of Mexican farm worker jobs, and like you say
the maquiladoras is just a little better than slave labor, and is one of the reasons so many Mexicans jump the fence and come work in the US.
However, NAFTA has been a wonderful thing if you're running a multinational corporation, or own stock in those companies.
A moderate Bill Clinton, signed NAFTA with mostly GOP support years ago.
Trump, won't touch NAFTA, although he is an idiot, so I can't say all bets are off for sure, but if Trump, even starts talking tough against NAFTA, he
could crash the stock market and the peso for some time.

Does anyone honor NAFTA?
The Canadians pay high taxes on things they buy in the US and take home. The nomads have threads on how to not pay duty on their stuff going to Baja.
Am I limited to $400 worth of stuff going back to gringolandia?
Not a lot of free trade going on in North America.
Peso closed at 20.5, what is it in San Ysidro 19.7 or something? Never seems to match the computer estimate.

President Elect Trump will be draining the swamp upon becoming President and will be fixing all the bad deals, which will make America great and
prosperous again.

Delusional Dreaming
IF there is anyone, conservative or otherwise, thinking that the Trump University trial would provide a basis for
Impeachment, they're getting their info from Facebook or a like source.
The lawsuit is a CIVIL action.
Which Trump could actually settle at any time with his checkbook.
As far as Senators McConnell and McCain plotting (?), the House of Representatives brings Impeachment charges.
And, the Conservative caucus which destroyed John Boehner's leadership and threatens to make life difficult for Paul Ryan as speaker is filled with
members who LOVE Trump.
ANYBODY thinking that the Congressional Republicans are going to do anything other than enthusiastically pursue policies in line with
much (if not most) of Trump's populist promises is deluding themselves.
As far as the Dems successfully obstructing, the chances of that in the House are ZIP and limited in the Senate
even with the cloture rule. Which can be suspended by a majority vote. The so-called "Nuclear" option.

Busted, it's amazing how those "ad sense" ads personalized advertising.
And I guess Putin and Trump are friend now, since Putin pretty much installed his own puppet in the White House.
I guess fair is fair, the USA has been doing the same kind of dirty deeds all over the world for many many years.
