Your Survival Guy’s (snow)boots on the ground intelligence is simple: Trump won in a landslide in a state where too much blood and treasure has been lost to senseless political wars.

Your Survival Guy’s February RAGE Gauge is in, and it’s not terrible. Finally, we have some yields we can sink our teeth into, and dividend-paying stocks are getting more respect. That’s good.
