Nothing like deregulation and having all your bffs in power to get the market pumped.

I'm not sick of winning yet. Trump said I would get sick of it, but it's not happening. I've gained A LOT

Yeah, this run is pretty unbelievable. I always have a few stocks that don't do so well even in good times.

Not this past month though. My broker/accountant gave me $15K of my own money outside of my portfolio just after Christmas. I said I wanted to screw around on my own and see what happens. He guided me in the general direction but I made the choices.

I'm up $65K and I don't even know what I'm doing!

This is in addition to my regular portfolio which is doing awesome.

Planning to retire in the next few months so now looking like I'll be sailing into retirement with the wind at my back. Wife, our investor, and I are competing to see who is getting the best returns....so far, I'm up the highest % which I attribute mostly to blind luck.

The higher the market goes the more conservative I'm getting.

Let's see... since Trump was elected the world markets have appreciated $3.1TUSD

That's $3,100,000,000,000.00 in just 3 months.

Might be a bubble brewing but earnings are still around 17x, so hardly in the 2000/01 and 2009 levels.
The Shiller PE ratio has only been higher twice before and both times were followed by a market decline.

S&P 500 PE Ratio

I guess a lot of trump supporters are Googling "what is the stock market"?

I am going to restructure my IRS to protect me from this spike in values and the sharp plunge that is guaranteed to happen as soon as the speculators get cold feet and take their profits.
