Those who have the power to influence the market have the ability to predict it. I’m not one of them.
I don’t have the power to influence the market, but “you don’t have to be a weatherman to know which way the wind is blowing”.
IMHO, there is a lot of pent-up inflation from the quantitative easing (printing money) of the Obama years.
Owning stocks and hard assets is a way to protect one’s financial position right now, and for a few years into the future.
I also think that business will flourish as DJT cuts regulations and maybe even taxes. The Democrat ideas on taxes are horrible. No society has ever achieved prosperity based on “income equality” and no one can tax themselves into wealth. If we can get to 60 in the senate in 2018, there will be no stopping the US.
My investible money is 100% in stocks and brick & mortar real estate. Serious inflation has already started and the official CPI is set up to hide it.
