Should I sell all my investments before Trump stuns the nation...

[Rollo]

22. In 2009 I watched a stock I owned dip down to the price I'd paid for it 10 years earlier

When it first went public. I resisted the urge to sell, that wasn't too difficult. But I failed to buy more, which was a mistake.

A lot of non-finance/non-real estate equities got hammered at that time, in retrospect it was thru no fault of their own. It was just the contagion of the general meltdown. Today that stock is selling for 20 times its 2009 low... I finally bought back in last spring at another low. But it's "only" doubled since then, LOL.

I still think Trump is going to be bad news for the markets, eventually. We've already seen how it reacts negatively to his shoot from the hip style. I don't know if "sell on the tweets" is good advice yet, but it just might be for day traders (which I'm not). On the other hand, Trump's mental illness is not directly related to the health of our economy. So even his worst meltdowns will eventually be shrugged off by markets that are otherwise healthy.
