IMO, when Trump is out of office, you could make even more money on your investments!

And when Trump is out of office, you can make even more money on your investments!

John, that’s an opinion, not a fact.  Facts can’t be challenged, opinions can.

you're right, sorry I forgot to put IMO!!!

I'll change it now!

"IMO, when Trump is out of office, you could make even more money on your investments!"

If that's what you think, put all your money in GIC's and be ready to pounce in 2029.

IMO, I can get a far better return between now and then, invested in the market.
