Investing under Trump [View all]

cross-post from GD

I see the normal GOP refusal to regulate leading to a market collapse in a few years. (The SEC will be effectively a nonentity)
But if Trump starts trying to "negotiate" our debt, that is rescind the good faith of the Government in American Treasuries, or is Congress in their stupidity doesn't raise the debt ceiling, we could see a quick and devastating Global collapse.
In the mean time I am shifting some assets around as I evaluate what is happening and watch what these fuckers are doing.
Definitely Gold will be a big part of it, but walking the tightrope in these times will take more financial skill than I have.
And like every financial emergency that has happened in the last 50 years, the professional investment community won't see it coming.


It was suggested I also post here for some good perspective.
