COT:
Talked about uncertain times and referenced a quote by former president of Ford, Lee Lacocca.
“So what do we do? Anything. Something. So long as we just don’t sit there. If we screw it up, start over. Try something else. If we wait until we’ve satisfied all the uncertainties, it may be too late.”
