I'm glad to see you posting again and sad to read about the problems you had with your son and finances. A hard lesson, painful as well, but at least no one got hurt and I am 100% sure he learnt from it.
I know about the government shutdown as it had an effect on trading, but feeling it on your skin or in your wallet is a totally different thing. It's shocking for me as well as there's no such thing here. I hope it's not going to happen too often though.
I hope you can get back to posting again, as I know you like it.
Happy new year to you and I have a complaint too. Where's Watson? No word about him, poor guy had no place in your year review? 😂🐶🐾
