THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY

[username]

Yo…RC! Remember when u suggested investing in rare minerals? It’s probably too late for this info too (because as I said, investors are always looking weeks and months out) but I’ve heard that many stocks based in China are for sale, cheap now, because the assumption is Trump will tank the Chinese market. Some people are taking the opportunity to buy some Chinese stocks low now predicting that the market in China won’t actually take the hit expected and the stocks will bounce back.

I feel like I should add a disclaimer: “there’s always a risk of loss in investing…” yada, yada.

I would be looking for a safe haven for the foreseeable future as there is tremendous volatility now with all the sanctions and international tensions, and central bank digital currency being rolled out soon, I think. If Trump's serious about defending the dollar rather than going along with the creation of a new global reserve currency, I think that's a big part of why the internationalists oppose him. Fascism is not something they oppose, though I think their preference is corporate communism.

There will always be high demand for fossil fuels and rare earth minerals, and China and Russia are well-positioned, but I've heard that the Chinese banking sector is very weak. Not sure if that's true but they may be counting on the new global finance system being rolled out, as their currency would factor into the new regime, which I'm guessing is BRICS. I don't see paper assets as being a good option now. Be interested to know what your husband thinks about this.

I’ll ask him. I’m at a little resort getaway—get home tomorrow. I’m sure WHATEVER his thoughts are, he’s balancing the investments. I learned more than I care to know about asset allocation when he first got into the business and while some of his clients have a higher risk tolerance than others, at least for us he probably takes medium risk (and he tries to dissuade the clients that he has who want to throw all their money into a given investment). Some people…it’s like a gambling addiction and they’re always looking for the fast returns. While he’s liking some Chinese stocks, he’s not betting the house on them (and yeah, probably setting us and his clients up with investments that will withstand volatility). He’s really good at his job. He switched firms around 4.5 years ago and over 92% of his clients moved with him (which is not common). He can be a total asshole too though (j/s!!) but work wise? He’s earned the loyalty and respect he gets.
