movie biopic about Neil Armstrong and the controversy springing therefrom. But first,

let's talk about the economy. So right now, we could be in the middle of a trade war, or at least a trade war could

be launching. Obviously, we are putting tariffs on Chinese goods. The Chinese could be tariffing
