Itโs fun to notice things no one else seems to notice.
Even more fun to notice that they donโt notice that you notice.
Then it becomes almost a secret garden.
Anyone could find the key.

I read the article. The headline misleads a little bit. The writer means the stock market when he says โthe economyโ. He says affordability is not strong, prices up, and thatโs how Trump misses the mark. Voters look at store prices not stocks, housing, can they afford to buy stuff.
