May? is there any doubt?
I doubt most investment advisors would even touch the bonds. It would be quicker for them to roll down the windows of their car and just throw $100 bills belonging to investors out the window.
Does anyone really think that a man that really never had meaningful employment yet was handsomely compensated but still couldn’t pay his water bill and parking/ traffic tickets( a couple of vehicles in his fleet were “booted” until tickets and fines were paid, fyi ) is going to come up with a comprehensive, effective financial plan or will listen to someone that does? He’s an egotistical moron with a hard on for the system in general and whitey in particular that amazingly has managed to make Rahm and Richie II look like decent people.
He’s a typical Illinois Dem/union grifter!!
