When the roof caves in every other day, and you are continually choked by your own words. I suppose it gives an insight into my mind over the last year, as I've spent most of my time hiding away, writing...
Well, if you are a small investor, not wanting to be murdered, this is the time to start re-appraising your investment portfolio before the roof caves in again. You are probably asking: why should it? Then, let me disclose a closely guarded secret known to the business moguls when things like this happen.
We are far from the dismal day when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. For all of America’s current troubles, the United States is safer and more prosperous than anyone could have predicted in December 1941. It is, however, destroying the sources of its improved position in rapid succession. Each of today’s executive orders is another demolished column. When the roof caves in, America will be left weak, isolated, despondent, and defeatist—more like France in 1940 than America in 1941. Republicans in Congress were correct to speak out against President Barack Obama’s excessive use of executive orders. It now falls to those same critics to stop President Trump’s global destruction by presidential pen.

* The Berliner Dom is a symbol of Imperial Germany meant to resemble St Peter in Rome (at least according to the Rough Guide). Beside being the highest structure in Western Europe the Fernsehturm (TV tower) is one of Berlin's most famous landmarks and a very useful orientation point. Before the fall of the Wall it was on the Eastern side of the city and it had been conceived as a highly visible symbol of the World of Peace (the GDR, while the Federal Republic of Germany was the World of War).
