Trump simply did what parents today cannot or will not do. Anyone who has had a teenager the past 10 years knows that society is out of control. Personally, I don't really care what other people do as long as it does not affect or danger my family. People are free to make any choices they wish, and must eventually live with the consequences of those choices. By the way, this is not a lesson in morality; this is a lesson in behavioral finance. One would assume that the behavior of Miss Conner is an isolated case. This would be a misguided assumption. Miss Conner's behavior is rampant among 17-25 year olds. Unfortunately, the choices that other people make can affect your family. When a driver decides that they will not what to stop at red a light, this can affect your family. When a you send your child to a school (junior high or high school) where parents turn a blind eye to drug and alcohol use by teenagers, this can affect your family. The results of these choices can eventually end in the death of one of our family members. Oddly, one of largest demographic groups that retailer’s love to market their products to is the 17-25 year old age group. Come on, you've seen it too if you’re paying attention. Have you walk into an Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) lately? I can't figure out if they are selling sex, or clothing. Here are a few examples from the Abercrombie & Fitch website; Example 1: Why is this boy pulling off his shirt while looking at this girl? How can this girl resist this boy? What in the world does this have to do with clothing? It’s not about the clothing if it’s not the clothing you are looking at. Example 2: What does this retailer want a consumer to buy, the coat, or the model? Are you getting my drift? The reigning Miss USA, Tara Conner is a victim of society. Tara is a victim of the marketing campaigns to her demographic group by clothing retailers as well as television shows and movies. Selling sex to the most vulnerable hormonal group in the nation is a very profitable tactic, as well as a recipe for disaster. My point in this common sense exercise is that the 17-25 demographic are not the only one's manipulated by retailers, television shows and movies. The financial lives of you and the investing public have been manipulated as well. Hopefully, you didn't fall for it.
