As for the sharemarket fall, I doubt it will come to much this time but it has been too late in the cycle to be fully committed to shares for a while IMHO. I continue to pack away the dry powder for when the buying really is risk-free.

Yes I'm sure your liberal sound bites have given you a very accurate picture.

Looks like the tides coming back in now? All my portfolio up from lows.
This correction has been so well anticipated over last year or so, many have lightened their portfolios & loads of cash sitting on the sidelines waiting for the bargains.
Have seen this before & after the dust settles there's been a massive transfer of wealth from the fearful, to the experienced & savvy.

No surprises we are seeing some suddenly professing alliance to trump (and their own personal enrichment, which is suddenly threatened)as he is leading them up the rattrap disguised a yellow brick road. This correction is the Feds fault, the Fed is now a threat to trumps popularity amongst his greedy sickophants. Visceral human vice at work and its LIVE ,watch now!!.Just Human nature so thats ok?! Trump for Emperor of the world ,(hold up cheer card now).

Next Instalment soon is "Lemmings Leap" Dtrumpf " i told them to jump .Its not the fall that kills you"!

Yes, maybe. But, can you name a time when, after a significant fall, and the dust is settling, you wouldn't have done well ploughing everything you can get your hands on into the market?

You will be happy then when Trump gets another 4 years from 2020 to 2024, and after that its President Haley!

Is it the ''experienced ''Trump administration thats leading the way?....so far its been good for markets...giving money to the stock markets through tax cuts,even if its a bit morally dicey He has alot of ego invested in that which means he will be ''all in'' on short term plays--Cutting regulations on pollution is of course good for polluters.....So at the moment the market is benefiting from the social costs ..as long as something doesnt hit the fan ---You know he will do even reckless things to keep the stock market going ---So thats good for investors so far that are strictly ''bottom line''........Only thing is there are also some pretty good reasons for being not so reckless----As long as your goals are running parallel to his ''line his own pockets''outlook you should be fine,until it blows up in his face.That however becomes less likely as he tightens control . In the mean time ...why not benefit from authoritarianism?

Nope. While I'm hurting with my paper losses yesterday (my own fault) I take comfort from the confidence that in a year all will be looking might rosy.

The language of hate which is prevalent under Trump and in Brexit has ramifications. Trump has demonised government agencies. The tax chief in the UK (civil servant - not a partisan politician) has received death threats for daring to publish the anticipated costs of Brexit. Under this hostile enironment if someone does something that appears not to blindly support the same policies, they are increasingly demonised.
