markets are rising for now but there are some ominous predictions:

What happens in reality we will see soon enough but I wouldn't put much faith in this "rally", the S&P500 just seems to be having a lot of trouble breaking the 2730 resistance level, it's just gone up and down in the 2700-2730 band, that does not signify a good upward trend.

Other than take a lower equity and lower bond position, what's a person to do to mitigate (related to investing)?

Dow just went negative. Not by much, but it's in the red

Edit: and it's back over the line to green.

Off to find my dramamine.

Cash is more in my investing life right now. Stable Value taxable is looking a tad better right now.

rooting against this market is going to drive you mad my friend. In short time this market will implode but not until the economy starts to tank..till then, you are trying to push a mountain with a feather.

Elon Musk agrees with Trump!

Chinese impose 25% import fee on our cars, we assess 2.5%!
American company can't even own their own factories there! As I previously posted the Chinese require IP transfer in order to manufacture there!

It's total BS. It's gutted the US ability to export. China currently enjoys an almost $400,000,000,000 trade SURPLUS with the US. That is over 20% of US GDP.
