Trump is absolutely tanking the economy. He's doing it in part to create a crisis for the people so he can grab more power trying to solve it.

Your advice would normally be well given and received however I have some large holdings in companies with products, Which, if and when they come to market, will explode. I have made a lot of money in the past in this fashion and live with the dips which are usually much more severe than the indices.

For example when Microsoft went public, I invested because I knew that he had codified computer issues better than anyone else. Same with Amazon when every bookseller started screaming that he was going to drive them out of business, I knew that he had something.
