Where will the Markets Finish at Year End?

why not park cash in something that would be inversly affected by the higher prices of raw materials since we aint budging on the Chinese thing from what I can see. now may be a good time to buy American so to speak

I don’t hold positions for too long in my brokerage account. Its mostly momentum trades, but I have rotated into some sectors like healthcare, which have been more immune to the volatility this year. But mostly I’m waiting for buy signals on a handful of stocks and ETFs. The US economy is still expanding so I believe the next leg up will be significant if we can just move past this rut. At least that’s my sentiment.
 
I put about half my investments in low beta dividend ETFs and the other half in growth.
Rebalance to the 50/50 every 6 months. I will rebalance in the next couple of weeks as
the growth stock are down 15-25% and the ETB are down around 5% over the past 6wks.
GOOD NEWS: The stock market has been up following every mid-term election since 1944.

Cost average and rebalance are all that the non-professionals stock traders can do.
 
One hears many things. It is unclear if the truth is among them.

The man behind the green curtain is pulling all the strings. Smart money buys when the market drops. The socialists in the house will try to raise taxes. Which if passed would kill off a growing economy.

Fortunately the Republicans have control of the senate and Trump will veto anything stupid that makes it through both houses.

I call it the man behind the green curtain. There are forces in place that want to rearrange the deck chairs to suit their desires. The fed is raising interest rates. There is no need to do that but the man behind the green curtain......the stock market...public opinion....buyer confidence... in preparation for the 2020 elections....

The daily news is the first version of history. The Democrats and the media are like a hand in a glove. What are they going to strike out at? They use every issue as a weapon to be used against that which they oppose
 
crypto has taken a beating.
I blame the dem's. LOL

One of my sons friends all he did was talk about crypto.. invested everything he had.. was up about 400K at its peak and has flown it right into the mountain on the way down..... I tried to talk to him and he was adamant it was not a flash in the pan..

Poor kid.. He is really dejected..
