Reading details of the deal on Yahoo Finance, the UK got the good deal on steel. Tariffs on their steel dropped to zero. UK was also quick to point out they would not change their food standards to accommodate our beef exports or other foods.
I think the UK is important because they are still probably the "second" leader of the free world, and with all their colonies they still have a good bit of influence. and it sets the table that we haven't totally isolated ourselves from the major players.
I get the first part. just with the clarification that neither the clinton foundation nor Trump coin is a mutual fund or some other vehicle that will naturally accrue interest over time. because I would agree a mutual fund-esque type of situation would be ideal. I don't think that is what is being used by pretty much any of them.
I don't know how anyone with a modicum of objectivity looks at the elected politicians and the parties and comes to the conclusion there is any difference. They talk a different game. They float some stupid ideas. But the end result in my life is barely perceptible regardless of who is president. I have two key issues; taxes and spending. Neither side is serious about tax policy reformation or reducing spending. So, I find myself not caring too much about the debates here. I like to talk about ideas, though.
No. You didn't. Furthermore, I'm not even sure you understand the mechanics of what you're suggesting. "If I take all my holdings out of Company X where I made my fortune and put it in a blind trust", as you worded it, would mean selling all of the stock or other equity interest in a business that you started and ran. The resulting cash would then be put in a blind trust.
