I wonder how the Dow Jones will do today.

Trump spelling out that he will shut down the government if he doesn't get what he wants...

I figure, this makes a lot of investors nervous.

I'm a pretty conservative investor - and not nervous (fwiw) day-to-day. So, shut it down if you want, Trump. As long as it backfires on your administration, I'm okay with that.
