What if Vance wins the next election? Are you really going to stay out of the market for 8 years? You shouldn’t let politics control your investment decisions.

+1 I get it.. I am a nervous investor, and I didn't look at my investments during the crazy market crash because of Trump.

It's also why I use a financial advisor. When I finally looked at my portfolio, it wasn't as bad as I was expecting because they had managed it well. We had reached out to our FA, and they kept telling us to hang tight.

I had also put 40% of DC's 529 in a money market fund getting 4% before the meltdown. DC is a junior in HS. I was glad I did that. As it is, the total value still took a painful hit.

then JD wins a second term and then Don Jr. two terms and then Barron two terms.

Does not make any sense to sell when stocks are down unless you need the money the next day.

Nope because I bought instead of selling.

Who in their right mind would have sold unless you needed the cash immediately?

I sold US and bought Internatinnal. It's worked out very well so far.

My parents took a lot of money out and I'm worried for them. I spoke to them that day and begged them not to but they wouldn't listen.

No, I didn’t sell because I don’t suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome. As we tried telling you at the time, your behavior was totally unhinged and counter to the most fundamental principles of investing.

It was especially absurd given that Trump already had a four-year run in which the market averaged 15%+, one of the best presidential records in history. Yet, you people kept droning on and on about a Great Depression 2.0 and saying this would be like the complete collapse of the stock market in tsarist Russia. Truly insane stuff.

(Btw, not only did I not lose money, but I actually made money by investing in Tesla when it was being dumped, again for no reason other than Elon Derangement Syndrome.)

So, sorry, but I feel no sympathy for you people. We all make mistakes, but yours were based on psychotic hatred. Ideally, you’d cure the hatred. But if that’s too hard, in the future, at least limit your hatred to cutting off family members who voted for Trump—and keep your investments separate from your politics.

Because that has worked out for so many people throughout the years?

I rebalanced and sold. The rebalance to international has paid off. The selling of funds to put in short-term treasuries has not but I feel comfortable sleeping at night. There is still uncertainty and I don't think we are out of the woods yet. Volatility will only increase I think but who knows. Its better to have an investment plan for the next 4 years that you and your family are comfortable with that allows you to sleep well at night. Lastly, as a lesson learned and future endeavor, I decided to create an investment log. This way I will remember the trades long into the future and will help guide my choices going forward.

Medicated and overly emotional people. In other words, the average UMC white liberal on here.

I sold in January and bought Nvidia and Palantir on the dip.
