1. Stock market is poised for a crash in 2017 with loose cannon in WH

I watched CNBC last week when they were talking up stock market, advising even retirees to move from bonds into stocks.

Once the stock market gets pumped up a bit more, expect a major crash where the average small investor won't know what hit them.

@kurteichenwald I might buy that if the stock dumps were two hours before his Tweet or even an hour before, not in the six minutes before.
