[QUOTE=DonB;449897]Or maybe he'll be indicted for his part in the cover up.[/QUOTE]What cover up? Hillary Clinton? Please indict her? If there is a crime, let's get to the bottom of it. I voted for her. You will not hurt my feelings. I think the Trump's followers get more mileage talking about these fantasies than actually doing anything.
I recommend everybody immunize their portfolio against craziness for the next 6 years. Actually I only did three years but I think Trump will win again. . It cost me a bunch of money as insurance usually does but at least you do not need to worry about the day-to-day craziness and you will have money to travel and monger.
How did you 'immunize' your portfolio? Futures contracts? Put options on the individual securities? I moved some money in my non-taxable accounts into a 'Fuck Trump' fund, to shorter term and more conservative bond funds, based on how very, very much my equities had risen under the sane and sensible guidance of Mr. Obama, the 'Mulatto Messiah.'.

I just tried to figure out every major expense that I would have over the next three years and raised the cash in January. It includes cash for a house remodel, new car, brother's, going on 18 years, drunken binge in Bangkok, private school tuition for a daughter of one of our friends etc. The cost was that I used up all my capital gains tax loss carry forwards that I hoarded since the 2008 recession. I hope I am wrong. I still make money if the market goes up just not as much as I would with my normal allocation to cash.
Immunize is not what I did although it was what I thought about when i initiated my action. I would have to go back to the old Finance text books to remember the correct way to immunize and I am not that into it any more. I haven't bought or sold an option since 2005. I will lose net worth on paper if the market crashes but hopefully I can outlast it. I think my strategy is better called "playing it safe.".
OK, thanks for the info. Using up capital losses is always a sound strategy, even if you just rinse the loss and buy back the same stocks after the 60 days are up. I, however, sold nothing in 2009. I bought my ass off and it paid off so much, I was able to retire five years earlier than I had planned to. I shifted enough money into the short- to intermediate-term paper to cover my expenses until Dump's first (and last, IMO) term is over. I do not personally believe in any form of market timing so all I did was shorten the duration of my bond portfolio. Assholes come and go but the road to wealth will always be paved with equities.
As you probably know, during a bull market in bonds, because the long-term bonds go up in value proportionately more than the short-term bonds, it leads to an increase in the duration of the bond portfolio, so this action on my part corrected that. Plus, just as I am on a 'glide path' with stocks where I reduce my allocation to equities by one percentage point every year, I am on a duration 'glide path' where I reduce my duration by 0.1 years every year.
But also, fuck Trump.
No one is more effective at taking down Trump than Republican Neil Cavuto, here he is in another classic take down of Trump.

In England, there were over 100,000 people protesting him.
But it got worse when he went to Finland.
He supported Putin against the United States. Against what Our Government Security says.
I think Donald Trump has a new name.
Donald "Benedict Arnold." Trump, the second American Traitor to the United States.
That would be Treason.

BTW, I did not vote for Trump or Clinton.

Trump had "Make America Great Again", the Democrats now have "Make America Venezuela".

How do you Make America Great Again, when all you do is lie.
He lies to all the people in the United States and the World.
Nobody can trust what he says.

It was not about Trump, but about the Democrats embracing socialism.

Doesn't that mean helping everyone?
Not just tax breaks for the Rich.
