I'm old. I'm not competing with anyone. My "market" is making sure the money I've saved over a long time is safe.

I work wirh family, scientists and doctors of patients with rare disease. Ending ACA is literally life-ending.
It's time to call our state what it is - the end of 'compassionate conservatism.'

Then you should not be in the market at all, anymore.
It is quite high right now and locking up your gains, while getting out, is the right thing to do.
Blaming it on Trump is pure opportunistic BS, in fact you should be grateful to the Orange One for bumping your positions 20-30% since his election, just before your exit.
Is it not ironic, Ted, that your idealogical nemesis, Donald ?Trump, made your fortune.
Or is it that your hypocrisy will not allow you to admit it....

....you are competing....to get the best return on your money.....if one wants to play it safe than put into bank account and earn the 'paltry' return, however, the stock market is the only place to get 'competitive' return......so if you are o.k. with getting basically no return putting in bank, then do so but leaving some in stock market at least gets you the opportunity to possibly earn a bit more back on some of the money....
.....the choice is yours and whatever makes you feel safer and allows you to sleep at night.....

Now that's a funny one. Trump hasn't yet done a single thing that could possibly have had an effect on financial markets. They're still continuing the increasing trend that started in 2009.
