Trump Rally Opens With Sisters Diamond And Silk

... " Winter White House ". Historically, of course, American presidents have often been rich men with mansions, who sometimes conducted the people's business in weekend haunts of the wealthy. But Mr. Trump's weekend White House appears to be unprecedented in American history, as it is the first one with customers paying a company owned by the president, several historians said. "Mar-a-Lago represents a commercialization of the presidency that has few if any precedents in American history," said Jon Meacham, a presidential historian and Andrew Jackson biographer. "Presidents have always spent time with the affluent," he added. "But a club where people pay you as president to spend time in his company is new. It is kind of amazing." [ The New York Times ]. Most Mar-a-Lago memberships predate Trump's entrance into politics, and the club only accepts 20 to 40 new members per year, each of whom must be sponsored by a current member. The entry fee is currently $200,000 — it has doubled since Trump's election — plus $14,000 in annual dues.

Ouch. Fund Loses $600 Million Betting Against Trump Rally

... ferocious Trump rally can be dangerous. A mutual fund using complex trading strategies lost $600 million over just five days because it picked a terrible time to be bearish. The alarming losses for the $3.2 billion Catalyst Hedged Futures Strategy Fund underscores just how powerful the rise in the stock market has been. The Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq all closed at record highs for five days in a row through Wednesday, something that hadn't happened since January 1992. President Trump even tweeted about the feat. The problem is that Catalyst placed defensive bets that would protect investors from market turmoil, but expose them to losses if the market got any higher. That's exactly what happened, causing the mutual fund to suffer a loss of 15% through Thursday's close, Catalyst confirmed to CNNMoney. The situation was worsened by the fact that the options that Catalyst had bet on were set to expire on Friday, making them virtually worthless given the market rally. ...

That’s exactly what happened, causing the mutual fund to suffer a loss of 15% through Thursday’s close, Catalyst confirmed to CNNMoney. The situation was worsened by the fact that the options that Catalyst had bet on were set to expire on Friday, making them virtually worthless given the market rally. “This type of market, rapidly rising prices with low and falling volatility, is the exact thing the fund is positioned against,” Catalyst Capital Advisors CEO Jerry Szilagyi said in a statement. The losses sparked rumors on Wall Street over the fund’s financial health. But Szilagyi said investors didn’t dramatically yank their money and insisted the fund “is not, and has not been, under any duress.”. Szilagyi said the losses triggered a risk management process to “kick in,” causing Catalyst to reverse its bearish position into a bet that the market would rise.

Another woman who identified herself as an educator said she wasn’t happy with Trump’s education secretary, Betsy De Vos, a billionaire campaign donor to the president, because of her support for charter schools. But mostly his supporters said they thought the travel ban — which focused on refugees and people from seven Muslim-majority nations and was blocked by a federal judge — would keep the country safer. They also said they liked his policies on domestic safety and his bashing the media. Here’s a quick sample of some of his supporters ...
