I think it's falsely high because of the outcome. False promises could create a nice bubble pop in the future.



It is the market responding to the unexpected win of a pro business administration. And the Bureau of Business Prevention leaving. I wouldn't buy anything right now but I understand the enthusiasm. What I found really funny were futures crashing the night of. That would have been the ultimate buying op if it stayed that way.

Sure lots of talk about infrastructure rebuilding...
Where's is the billions of dollars going to come from ?????

60 Minutes did a segment on infrastructure and bridges needing serious attention, I'm all for it but know it's crazy expensive to do what really needs attention.

Some say if our (highest in the world) corporate tax rate is cut there will be billions of dollars repatriated.....at any rate, infrastructure attention should trump foreign aid spending....America first...

I sold my Index Fund today. It's not confirmed yet but I think this rally is about over.

I'm not surprised. Still have some cash. I still have 2 winners that I could sell, might just do that.

Guess taxes will need to increase...

 

[Mr Nice]

Read my lips, no new taxes...

Nope, the deficit will grow, which will be a good thing. The National Debt is irrelevant. Reagan knew it, hopefully Trump will learn. And if it leads to increased economic grwoth, it will all pay for itself in the end.

It's not that Americans don't pay enough taxes....it's how those taxes are spent....or some would say wasted...

Sold 2 more winners today, (partial lots).

I'm back up to ~28% cash.

vanguard roth advice please
I have about 10k recently converted to a roth
I want to do vanguard only funds
Im leaning towards VTI/VOO ETF and just not touching it long term
VTI,VOO for most of the money and
maybe some other small cap funds VBR, VONV?
not interested in any bonds since interest rate increase will kill them
I not really interested in much international because it seem like they haven't been doing much in the last 10 years, and sounds like there will potentially be new tax on imported goods in the future?
am 30 yrs old

 

[Mr Nice]

Brybo86,

VTI and forget it for Roth.

I'm 100% only invested in US market, nothing international and zero bonds in my portfolio.
I like good dividend paying stocks instead of bonds.

Also have your wife contribute the max for her Roth.

We may finally have a president that will cut on a deal on the 2+ trillion dollars companies are holding overseas to avoid taxes. That will generate some additional revenue.

Yup.
That will be quick $$ for the gov treasury, and that money won't just sit there, the companies will put it to work, will generate cash flow and jobs. all good IMO.

This jiggle in the market has created all sorts of opportunity. I sold some last week, already bought a little this morning.

I know I said I wasn't going to be doing any trading earlier this year, but there is just so much action. Like, I sold BA last week for +12. I only owned it for 7 weeks, + I got the div. My goodness, there are just so many opportunities!

 

[Mr Nice]

What will happen next year is what my non functioning crystal ball wants to know.
