It’s truly unbelievable. Literally went through this same discussion in dramatic fashion 3 months ago only to watch the market climb to well above all time highs. And now people are freaking out all over again.

Most people are not panicking. Don't believe the trolls who announce they've cashed out and built a bunker. Just like lefties shouldn't believe trolls who say they want to throw shoot migrants on sight. All this is crazy rhetoric, don't fall for it.

But it's true that the economy will not be able to sustain a roaring stock market for ever, due to our chickens coming home to roost, ie, tariffs-induced inflation. So anyone trading during Trump's term is taking more risk than if he hadn't imposed these tariffs. If you do that, it's best to have long-term goals, to give you time to recover.

My stock portfolio has always been in digital high tech and some pharma companies hand-picked by me, because those are the industries I know. I am carefully considering some crypto. But I have a financial set-up such that I can weather pretty much any financial storm except Act of God.

Whatever any of you decide to do, you accept all the risks and you don't come back here and whine.

All that stuff you're doing is great! Except I would stay away from gold - it has no inherent value and it's ultimately a ponzi scheme.

The answer is yes.

This. Holy wall of text OP. Take a chill pill. Things are improving finally.

IIRC, they historically keep about 15-20% of assets in cash (or equivalents). They think valuations are too high and are waiting for a buying opportunity

Up until 2010 it fluctuated quite a bit but has gone up big time since then.

Then buy Berkshire Hathaway. Sounds like you're a fan.

Market timers usually fail. Studies consistently find that only a tiny fraction of investors successfully time the market over extended periods. Emotional biases kill people (and political biases, too). You have to be right twice - when to buy and when to sell. Missing days in the market can kill you. It's just dumb, but people get so consumed by fear and bias.

What maga morons fail to realize is Trump wants to crash the dollar, companies are not investing g in the US, and other countries are finding ways to have better partnerships.

We are so screwed

You need an investment plan that works for you. If you're freaked out by political risks, you were already over-indexed in risky investments, and your plan was flawed.

He is sharply reducing government spending, imposing tariffs = increased costs for goods, uncertainty causes people to hire less and spend less, stopping foreign travel to the US and kicking out people that would otherwise be spending - its a perfect economic storm.

We are spending as little as possible and saving everything we can.

You most have written this before the "Big Beautiful Bill" - his agenda is literally growth first, let future generations deal with the debt. You may agree with that plan, but literally no intelligent conservative will say with a straight face that Trump's plan is to "sharply reduce government spending" - he's raising the debt ceiling by $5 trillion!
