Even if you’re late retirement years, this is likely a horrible move. If and when interest rates go up, you’re guaranteeing yourself sustained losses.

I went to all cash this morning. I'm usually optimistic about the market but I think the wheels may be coming off for the foreseeable future and i don't want to take the ride down any lower. I think China will only get worse and I think they will wait til the presidential election to see if Trump gets ousted. More China tariffs to come. And now a totally left field thing with Mexico tariffs. I like that Trump is trying to fix problems that should have been dealt with decades ago, however, its not good for my portfolio. He's just too unpredictable for the stock market. I'm just gonna wait things out for a while. Maybe go into a long term government bond ETF.


So based on pure emotions, you made a financial decision? I'm not criticizing or downvoting you on that. Just making an observation.

Good luck with that "strategy".

Go into real estate rentals. Same/better ROI, very stable rates, leveragable, very tax friendly (capital gains, depreciation, etc), intrinsic value, a basic necessity, finite, and you have more control over the value of the asset than any other investment.

Just my $.02

This is why I'm a long term owner of high yield stocks. Market goes down and my yield goes up. Reinvest the dividend, buy the dips and hold is essentially my strategy and it has worked for me.

Looking at potential rentals over the past year, it seems like the RE purchase price: rent per month price ratio is quite low. I know younger folks are more apt to rent these days, but it seems like rental property purchase prices are at a peak as well.

How old are you? Age range is fine if you don’t want to post exact age.

I’m going to make a tota guess and say mid-40s.

If you don't own Boeing or any of the FANG (Facebook, Amazon, Netflix or Google) stocks, your portfolio had a nice rally today.

I don't own any of those companies and my stock portfolio went up almost 1% today.

At least put some of that into precious metals if you're really that bearish.

Long metal miners is a solid contrarian play as well.

When I opened this thread, the first thing I did was check the date the OP was posted. I wanted to know whether it was a new thread or a thread from some point in the last half decade that had been bumped for the lulz.

I’d say today was a good day so far. Who all is in the market?

I'm no expert, but I feel like you bought in on the wrong part of the curve....

I took Friday as an opportunity to make easy money this week. Paying off so far.
