Warren Buffett: Economy kicking ass. Best is yet to come.
Buffett says economy is feeling strong: 'If we're in the sixth inning, we have our sluggers coming to bat'

More stress for some who are already teetering on the edge.

Did Buffet include the qualifier "in spite of Trump" or "this is due to the groundwork laid by Obama?"
I mean...he had to of, right?

The performance of the economy has been a surprise to me. I was pretty sure Trump was inheriting an economy and stock market that were propped up by all the easy QE credit and artificially low interest rates by the Fed since the 2008 crash.
I was expecting it all to bust under his watch. Then he'd get the blame.
But the tax cuts, regulation reductions, and brow beating on trade has helped increase employment, business activity, confidence, and the value of US business. Now I'm not sure what to think.
I still think stock prices are high. Reversing QE and raising interest rates are also a very risky course of action. But maybe he's doing so many stimulative things he can keep it all going for the full term.

I think ET took up RR's slack.

Looks like he lost his "a" in the market.
