Investment adjustments might need to be made, but now’s probably not the time to do it. Why not wait until the election has been conclusively decided?

Why don’t you just put some of it into china based stocks?
JD...BABA...BIDU...etc?
You should try to keep politics out of your money.
Being right and broke is no answer.
Being broke is never an asset.

Don’t know why, but Dow, S&P and NASDAQ are all way up today, even though it appears that Biden will “win” the election.

Lets see...10 year bond yielding 0.08% .. .....no thanks.....and I’m a fixed income broker. No bond funds for me....maybe buy some individual 4% munis at a 120 + price tag A+ rated with insurance, but no bond FUNDS.

How much lower can rates go? They are nearly zero now IMHO we are at the end of a 40+ year bond bull

Well at least you got todays 3% move. Remember you will lose money in bonds if rates rise. Cash might be a better call right now, not bonds.

I hear ya.

I am contemplating putting 250,000 into physical silver.

Monster boxes of eagles are at 14,000 and that may look cheap in a few weeks.

It is safe to put it in mattress, but do not perform whooppee on it.

“Don’t know why, but Dow, S&P and NASDAQ are all way up today, even though it appears that Biden will “win” the election.”

That is because it is a split government. Investors expect the Senate to protect them from the left. The left only controls the house and maybe the Whitehouse depending on the votes go.

As an investor, I am more worried about the virus shutdowns.

I think possibly because the Pubbies have held the Senate. So the Senate can block the worst of the crap that Marxists are planning as legislation. The market doesn’t mind grid lock for the most part.

I’ll field that one. As long as interest rates are ridiculously low, stocks will do well. And that’s only because there is nowhere to put your money but in stocks. You want to save for retirement? A CD paying 0.5% won’t do. A bond paying 1.5% won’t do. The Fed has forced investors to go into stocks.

Disclaimer: Warren Buffett has never called me for advice. In fact, no mutual fund company has ever called me for device. So what do I know?
