Scooby, I’ve often heard “time in the market is better than timing the market”. Based on the fact that you’re pulling out, it sounds like maybe you don’t agree with this? Or is this an artifact of the fact that a person in their 60s will inherently have a shorter market timeline than a person in their 20s? Curious to hear your thoughts, I always contribute $500 monthly and never considered pulling anything out of the market or trying to time it in any way, but at my age I can afford to be a bit more risky even if it takes 10+ years to pay off.

Love the updates! I was in total agreement with you in your original post. I think what might happen is he'll tank the stock market then print a ton to get it back up. Also, I have to disagree with the notion that trump won in a landslide. I don't get why people are saying this. He won the popular vote by like 1% and didn't even get a majority. From an EC POV he won by quite a bit but even that I wouldn't call a landslide either. I think that's just a Republican talking point to make it seem like they have more of a mandate than they actually do. Not saying you're just spouting talking points or anything. Just an honest disagreement
