PE ratios are high but not like in the '90s (MSFT=79, GOOG=64, FB=34). The one thing definitely missing from the times of the great tech wreck is the proliferation of junky companies and the insane IPO frenzy. I could see a 10% pull back but not a major collapse.

What concerns me more is something I call "Apocalypse 2020". I don't put it past the people in a lot of corporate board rooms to try to collapse the stock market in the run-up to the 2020 election. Goldman Sachs' board are not Donald Trump fans. We could see a sudden "liquidity crisis". I plan to go mostly to cash in about January of that year.

Political elections are almost the only things I am concerned about at the moment. I am slowly and gently trimming the sails a little bit just in case the country goes retard and hands Democrats the House, or full retard and hands the White House to almost any Democrat.

If the former happens, and even if it gets into a real dog fight of an election with a high possibility of Democrats getting back in control, look for the market to pull back. If the latter happens and it looks like Trump is in electoral trouble in 2019, or 2020, look out. I think the market will get ugly. IMO, that’s would be almost a worst-case scenario.
