The Current Sitrep:

"The United States has slapped a new round of sanctions on North Korea, singling out a pair of North Korean officials who are considered key to their country’s development of ballistic missiles.

Kim Jong Sik, a long-time rocket scientist, and Ri Pyong Chol, a former senior air force commander, both of whom appear to be close with leader Kim Jong Un, were named, meaning that any assets the two hold in the United States can be seized and banks are banned from transactions with them involving U.S. dollars."

This "news" is six months old in the face or rapidly changing political situations where presently arrangements are being made for a peace summit.

You did hear about the peace talks, correct?

North and South Korea athletes marched under a single flag during the Winter Olympics, while Kim Jong-un conducted his first foreign visit since assuming power. His visit to China included a reaffirmed commitment to denuclearisation.

His visit to the south and meeting with President Moon Jae-in was viewed as another significant step, as both parties made commitments to peace on the peninsula.

And despite the cancelled meeting between the North and the US, Kim Jong-un has said he's still willing to meet "at any time."

I admire your youthful optimism.

Oh, I was completely serious! If President Trump keeps his word and actually buys the debt of the I-ties I'm sure that their bond price will rise! So, buy them at bargain rates now while you can.

On the other hand, with the ChiComs holding so much US debt, and Trump buying the Italian bonds, what is THAT going to do to the value of US Treasury bills?

Oh my! With the Italians abandoning the Euro and Trump deflating the dollar, I'm sure that will bode well for Pound Sterling and Brexit!

It is all a Trump plot to soil Ms. Merkel's petticoats, don't you know...

If i’d got any spare cash i’d buy some gold, i know you can’t eat it but it won’t devalue.
