Their "Macro Select" basket (fancy name for "stocks we think don't suck") returned 22% last year while the S&P 500 managed a respectable but not-quite-as-impressive 16%.

Buyers can't afford anything, sellers won't give up their sweet 3% mortgages from the good old days, and the whole thing is frozen like a Windows 95 computer. But while everyone's waiting around for the Fed to wave its magic interest rate wand, Trump's crew is cooking up something way more interesting.
