    If investors had been concerned about possible Brexit, they would have shifted away from developed international equity products last week. The data confirms that some investors were caught off guard, however, domestic equity outflows continued. But in the prior week, large- and mid-caps had the greatest redemptions. This time it was multi-cap and the 'other' style. 'Other' is a catch-all group of lots of investment styles.

    The timing seems awfully coincidental that in the week when Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came to Washington, spoke in Congress about the enormous threat of President Obama's misguided deal with Iran that is opening the door to Iran acquiring nuclear weapons and in the very week when Bob Menendez showed incredible courage to speak out and call out President Obama for the damage that his policy was doing to our national security that coincidence is troubling.

    Did you know that every 15 minutes a baby is born with NAS ? Maybe you'd like to talk about the 160,000 kids who skip school every day for fear of being bullied, or that 280,000 students are physically attacked in schools every month, seems kind of silly to worry about what channel she watches on TV( any channel she wants btw) or if she heard some recording on the news.
