president won t commit toe a time line on the deal instead telling reporters the deal is up to him. he said this. in some of ways i like the yofd waiting until after the election for the china deal. those few little words got a lot of attention. with only 11 days until a critical rundown of new tariffs on chinese maid goods, there are few signs that they re closer to achieving even a symbolic skinny phase one trade agreement. the question now is whether the companies investors are prepared for another round of tariffs. you saw the stock yesterday, a big decline. investors and companies have been pretty much factoring in that they thought the worst was over in the trade war. there s a real chance you could have another round of tariffs against the chinese in less than two weeks. futures are pretty flat right now. it depends on what the president says. could say something at the press
