Thank you - my wife is doing great. And maybe we were talking about ...

different cases. I saw the credit card cap thing but didn't think much of that one though it will definitely spook the bank stocks. I wasn't aware that was in the courts - thought it was just a late night 'idea' that now has peaked the interest of the other side of the aisle as well. I am referring to the tariffs. Don't care whether we have them or not but now that they have been used it will be complete global financial chaos if they are stripped away.

As for the credit card interest cap.
EDGEMAN • 01/13/26 03:30 PM ET
yes, it is definitely an issue that needs to see both sides of the issue
VaTechie • 01/13/26 05:02 PM ET
Yeah - I am not a fan of price controls in general so not sure I am in ...
vt90 • 01/13/26 03:31 PM ET
