The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, attacked since before it was born and facing a court challenge to its structure, may be dealt a death blow by the incoming Trump administration.

As an important consumer protection agency and the first domino in a line of regulatory agencies about to be pushed over by the deregulatory army heading to Washington, the CFPB needs to survive for the public good and your investment future.

I'll be showing you how fixing it and not killing it can make regulatory regimes across the U.S. more effective, less intrusive and profitable for you.

Let's get to it.

Investors looking at the long, long uptrend are scared the election of Donald Trump as America's 45th president precipitated a final push higher and that now we're facing the bend that ends up breaking the back of this old bull.

I laid out my bullish case and why markets can double in a few years here on Wednesday

As we head into 2017, markets are still rallying on the back of Donald Trump's unlikely ascendance to the White House.

But, as with most rallies, the rising tide is not going to lift all boats; some will remain in choppy seas for the foreseeable future, while others will sink to the bottom.

While markets seem to favor a Trump presidency, there's still plenty of uncertainty that's giving investors pause.

Today, I'll show you what I see coming down over the horizon as we approach 2017. I'll show you which sectors are going to continue to benefit in the Donald Trump era, and which will be lost at sea.

The incoming Trump administration is widely expected to upend a lot of energy regulations put into place by President Obama, as well as rules that have been in place for decades.

Investors have already bid up energy stocks in anticipation of regulatory rollbacks.

But some of those bets look premature now that we see not all of President-elect Trump's cabinet nominees are on the same page when it comes to the environment and climate change – two issues, however you look at them, driving U.S. energy policy.

Today, I'll tell you how principal cabinet nominees generally look at the issues, and why U.S. energy and environmental policies can't be effected in a vacuum.
