    Should one sell its stockfunds (if that is the correct word) and move the money over to an "high interest bank account" untill this is over... I'm guessing it's not gonna go up-up-up in a while...

    Nobody should be surprised by this.  Trump is a man of integrity.  When he sets out to reverse the Biden administration actions, he is consistent.  He doesn't care what it is.  If the Dow increased in Biden's term, he's going to decrease it right back.  This is what people do when they keep their word.   I know very surprising.  
    This is shockingly dumb. A man of integrity doesn’t blindly undo the actions of his predecessor, he learns about what was done and decides per-action accordingly. To say that Trump is sabotaging the stock market because Biden grew the stock market, after constantly using the stock market as a marker for success, is completely not founded in reality.

    Are you retiring this year? If no then leave it where it is or try the extremely difficult approach of selling then buying back at the bottom. Up to you.

    I wouldn’t put any more into it yet. But if you have some cash aside it’d be a good time to buy some more. Not now, but at the first sign of recovery.

    One of the arguments being used by the Trump Administration to explain away the possibility of recession is a need to reorient the economy away from public sector spending and toward private spending.  Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called this a necessary period of “detox”. So does the argument hold up?

    The European Union has just announced that countermeasures — worth about $28 billion — in response to Trump's tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports will start on April 1.

    The measures will cover not just steel and aluminum products, but also textiles, home appliances and agricultural goods. Motorcycles, bourbon, peanut butter and jeans will be hit, too.

    Switzerland and Germany to cancel their orders for a F35 fleet , they may be looking at the Eurofighter instead due to concerns of Trump using the kill switch on the american jets in a conflict. Canada should follow suit, USA is no longer a defense partner of the west.

    If Donald Trump & Elon Musk have it their way, your Social Security will be privatized and your benefits will be entirely reliant on the stock market.

    If you want a sense of what that'll be like – take a look at your 401k today.

    If he didn’t start with these stupid tariffs, he could’ve taken credit for the better than expected inflation reading, lower than expected wholesale price reading, the market likely would’ve continued its climb. Such a bad move.
