I did see it coming. Just got the timing wrong, expected the honeymoon phase to last a couple months longer.

Lol, converted my 401k holdings to 50% bonds in January. I expected him to do exactly what he said he'd do and I haven't been disappointed. Dude is exactly a smart as he sounds.

What if he gets the keys to the printer room? It's still not too late for me to exit, but I don't know what to enter into lol

I've been buying international stocks to have something, but those would probably tank along America, just not as hard

Everything I have is down massively, it's half s&p 500, rest international.

I'm down like 10% from my ATH, but given that it was after a big rally, it doesn't feel that bad.

And I think we can still do much worse... Maybe not, but I don't find it unlikely

Yep, I reckon it'll probably get worse before it gets better.

Problem with pulling out is I'll for sure miss the rally.

Shits going to tank, people will turn on Trump, and he'll reverse course on tariffs. Or we're going to be in the next great depression. One of the two.

I didn’t touch my 401k or Roth just because I have decades to go with that.

But I pulled every other penny I had out of the market and have it parked in a HY savings fund.

The amount of people on the Fidelity thread yelling at me that I can’t “time the market”. Unreal. We’re clearly heading to disaster. I don’t need to hit the exact bottom. I just need to be better than I was.
