Hey don't you know, this is Trump's market now.
Now that Trump's in office, the people here who were expecting a crash under 0baMao are now very optimistic.
The dollar is suddenly great. Even though the stock bubble hasn't changed.
.
The dollar is actually very strong right now. Can you name a currency that’s stronger vs the USD than it was 10 years ago?
This could go on for a while longer - even a long while. However, I already chose to get out of the exit before the inevitable stampede....
It worked for me in 2007 ... Fingers crossed that it will work again.... My take is that it is time to take the money off the table and then - at the right time - to look for hated asset classes that are way oversold and finally due for improvement. Emotionally it is very hard to be patient when everybody else around you is euphoric about new market highs and speculations about how much higher they are going. No, thank you - for me, anyway.
Just as difficult as going against the crowd to exit "early," however, is the difficulty of getting back in when there is investor blood in the streets and everybody thinks things will never be good again... Just as you can't know the absolute market top, you cannot know the absolute market bottom.
Good luck!
