Californians Have More On Their Mind Than Trump's Wall

Description

President Donald Trump will head to a sun-baked patch of land in California this week to view eight towering slabs surrounded by razor wire. They are prototypes of a wall that he says is designed to stop immigrants or drugs from getting across the border between the U.S. and Mexico. But Serge Dedina — the mayor of Imperial Beach, California’s southernmost city- wishes Trump would focus on other issues facing the border cities. Dedina is also executive director of the environmental group Wildcoast. He's led a years-long fight by his city to sue the federal government for failure to protect citizens on both sides of the border from what he calls a “tsunami” of raw sewage, toxic sludge and solid waste that spills through the border region via the Tijuana River Valley. The pollution threatens the health of millions. Dedina says, “It’s billions of dollars for the wall, and zero for everything else. That’s the disconnect. The stuff you don’t read about is the everyday stuff to keep people safe.”

  • Strategist: Investors Should Seize The Market's 'Knee Jerk' Drop If Biden Wins

    A Credit Suisse analyst says that if Joe Biden wins the US presidential election in November, it could spur a 'knee-jerk' pullback in the stock market of 5%. According to Markets Insider, senior investment strategist Suresh Tantia said that was due to the Democratic nominee's stance on corporate taxes. However, Tantia said investors should look at such a pullback as a buying opportunity, as Fed support will keep driving markets after the election. The central-bank support is not going anywhere. The Fed is going to keep rates lower for longer, similar to other central banks. Suresh Tantia, Senior Investment Strategist Credit Suisse Tantia's tip for traders? Investors should seek out equities in Asian markets, as they are cheaper than US stocks and have strong earnings.
