I think Trump & Co will try and engineer a financial feast for a couple of years now. The interest reates globally are going down, the positive effects have so far been few, which means more interest lowering on the way. Add a loose monetary policy, tax decreases and increased government debt, and we have a nice booming economy ahead of us. The key, as always, is to know when to sell your shares, take a break, and enter again at the bottom. The other option, which I have utilized all these years, is to hold fast, and just refrain from buying during the last couple of years of booms, and once things collapse, I usually start to buy in small increments. This has worked well for me, since I don't need to worry about finding the moment to sell.
