What you have to think about now is - to what degree has the dollar based financial system contributed to the overwhelming bull trend of the US stock market? Trump has done a lot to make countries question relying on the dollar. I think I’ll start buying proportionally more foreign total stock funds as a hedge. No.. I mean exactly what I meant and here’s the facts. https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/heres-average-stock-market-return-under-democratic-and-republican-presidents-hint-it-may Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bad. I’m up 45% this year on $GDX Also Emerging Markets due to the weak dollar outperformed domestic. My main portfolio this year is up 35%. Not bad. In the big dip in April I loaded up on Oil stocks. That’s the play IMO. Most of those stocks I keep in a separate portfolio. Got OXY, COP, XOM, & RIG. I just keep smashing buy on those names.

Too many people are conflicting politics within their investment decisions & that’s why most stay poor. Titandan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many people are conflicting politics within their investment decisions & that’s why most stay poor. I wasn't really trying to get political with that statement. But I'd assume people who believe the opposition was going to be disastrous for the economy would probably preemptively sell before the administration takes over. I've witnessed the market go up during both Republican and Democrat admins. I was more talking about the American economic system that continued to produce some of the best companies in the world. I don't see a reason to bet against that. Also, as long as the Fed continues to print money, in the long run, the market and assets in general will inevitably run up. But since it became popular for retail investors to "buy the dip," I'm just wondering if the days of prolonged corrections or crashes are over?
