That’s sound. It assumes we continue to do OK. And we will. Today’s Ross Rant,\u00a0<\/em>for example, writes:<\/p>\n We may be entering a period of calm in a growing economy. This is good. Growth has begun again in Q2, the China deal looks like it will happen in May, Brexit will drag on for several months, and the Dems will have accomplished nothing with all their so called investigations. … Bottom line, jobs will remain in high demand, GDP growth and corporate earnings growth will resume, the Fed will sit still, and oil will come back to $55-$60 at some point in the next few months. GDP is likely to be around 2.5% this year. Inflation will remain moderate. Steady as she goes. Right on into 2020. Once the China deal is announced, and as corporate earnings start to improve, the stock market hits new highs in June or July. The economy is in a very good, solid place right now. …<\/p>\n China seems to have bottomed, and will begin to grow again when the deal with the US is signed, assuming it is a real deal. The Chinese stock market has soared lately, and when a deal is signed, it could go up another 10%-20%. There are huge geopolitical implications to the deal. Xi will become a winner at home, and the Chinese economy will improve. Everyone in China will realize it is vastly better for them to cooperate with the US and see economic growth, than to have military confrontations which would lead to the potential of a war that could destroy their good life and new riches they now enjoy. A successful trade deal will change world history in a very good way, well beyond just trade. It will also leave Russia more isolated since they have nothing to trade. I just read a biography of Putin and Russian history under his leadership. He is a very smart, ruthless and tenacious man. He is extremely dangerous since Russia is an economically weak, totally corrupt nation, and is going nowhere good.<\/p>\n The worst thing you can do in this market is to panic — sell good shares that temporarily drop because their own success attracts competitors. Netflix has been hit by all the talk of The Streaming Wars, viz today’s CNBC:<\/p>\n But, to my tiny brain, Netflix has established the number one “go-to” position in everyone’s brain. Not expressed well. I can do better… When you want to escape the world for an hour or two or more, you go to Netflix. We all do. They have all the good stuff, like\u00a0Medici, Punisher, Narcos, Our Earth, The Crown, Broadchurch, Bodyguard, Punisher, The Highway Men, etc.<\/p>\n Dan’s Netflix favorites include:\u00a0The Queen of the Desert (movie), Trapped, The Bridge, The Tunnel, Hanna, Versailles, Bosch (AP), Shetland, MC, Fauda and McMafia.<\/p>\n Netflix reports tonight.

I will soon have them everywhere. Ditto for smoke detectors. I like this $53 one:<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.technologyinvestor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/streamingwars.ng_.png\")
