Donald Trump to Janet Yellen: 'If I'm elected, you're fired'

Plus: Wall Street wants to send Sanders packing to Cuba, silver outshines gold, and Harriet Tubman nabs a spot on the 20-spot
APR 27, 2016
  • Donald Trump is determined to illustrate his financial savvy by threatening to replace Janet Yellen as Fed Chair if he is elected. Can't help but wonder if this is the kind of thing that will motivate supporters of Mr. Trump to rush off to vote. Making the Fed great again.
  • Wall Streeters are growing tired of Bernie Sanders' populist rhetoric, and they're starting to wonder out loud why the socialist doesn't try living in a socialist country before trying to make the U.S. a socialist country. “Spend a year in Cuba.”
  • While you've been focused on gold, silver has found its groove. The shiniest of the shiny things.
  • It was a close one, but Alexander Hamilton will maintain his place on the $10 bill, but now Andrew Jackson is facing an uphill battle to stay on the $20 bill. Meanwhile, it now costs the government (I mean, taxpayers) 1.7 cents for every penny it mints. Harriet Tubman to replace Jackson, as Hamilton is saved in part by the popularity of a Broadway play.
