Long-term my equity based 401K has outperformed (about 3x) my saving accounts and bonds but the Reagan, Bush, and now Trump “disturbances” are annoying. Using options to bet against the market might be the best way to deal with Republican administrations?
All my Trump supporting retired relatives who usually can’t resist telling me how Great Trump’s Economic Policies are – really quiet this year. ’Bout time.
The markets hate unpredictability. They also hate international chaos. They ALSO hate actions that could impede trade, e.g., big tariffs that screw up production. And thus the Trump Market.
