Last 2 days gains in the stock market have been pretty spectacular. Your 401K's, Mutual Funds and similar investments are very happy.

One of these days what goes up, must come down. I'd move as much out as legally possible without generating a huge tax bill. Just sayin'.

The new tax bill has folks speculating on growth. The next year will be the actual growth of companies taking advantage of the tax bill. After that who knows.

We all known Tallgrass cant stand Trump but I also know Tallgrass is into investing money. Ive lately been curious his feelings on the amount of money his investments have grown. Surely TG has to be as ecstatic has the rest of us common folk.
How much longer TG do you see the bulls running before we need to get out?

You can usually move it within your 401K to something similar to a savings account with no tax liability. However, the most important thing is to have a balanced portfolio for your age of retirement.

I don't trust the stock market. I deal in tangibles. So I bought Scagnetti's food stamps and family jewels. I'm going to flip them on Craigslist for a nice profit.

Over the next couple years, when companies start actually getting the profits from the tax breaks, stocks will continue to rise due to increased profits and the fact that they are buying back their outstanding shares, thus driving up the share prices. Then the prices will fall. Of course, if Recession or Inflation hits, all bets are off.
May you be treated the way you treat other people, today and everyday!

How much longer TG do you see the bulls running before we need to get out? It more than doubled under the last admin after the meltdown in '08. Just saying. Nothing new.

Hope TG didn't convince his group to short the market when Trump was elected.

I've been in this situation before - the late 90's in particular. I paid for it in the early 2000's because I didn't get out of the market and have had to stay in the market for the past 18 years to get my money back. It's a long term thing. I still remember Alan Greenspan talking about "irrational exuberance" mainly with tech stocks at that time (I didn't believe him like a lot of others.), and of course that bubble burst. I think a different version is happening now because of the tax law which benefits big business and a general perception that the orange clapper will be good for business. Just watch corporate earnings. When corporations start to have earnings problems, look for a prolonged "correction". In between there will be some corrections but not prolonged. The other major issue to me is the start of some war which could be a real problem. Eventually, the national debt will be a major issue, but at the age of 72, I probably won't live long enough to witness the default of the country unless they get it under control. Right now our debt is at 102% of the GNP. That's uncharted territory for this country when there is not a major war to blame it on. Don't gamble on the stock market with money you need survive. That's my take.
