Obviously, I hate Trump and his policies as much as the next guy, but in the broad scheme of things I’ve seen much worse economies over the years, and I’ve never deviated from my plan, like ever. I have always bought and held, and I’ve never had a problem. And I’m rich now. So what’s going on? Explain the hysteria , please.

Several of my coworkers were suddenly fired in February, and the head of my agency has said to the media that he wants to cut HQ staff (which I am). How is it hysterical to prepare for that?

Building up my cash savings and not investing as much until I get about 9-12 months in a savings account. If the job market becomes hot again I’ll reduce this to about 4-6 months.
