I made a ton of money off the Obama Presidency. I exited a majority of a my positions last month because I think we've peaked and people smarter than me are expecting a flat 2017 AT BEST case scenario and likely a trend towards recession.

I'll be buying once the market bottoms out again.

The market is too complex for the President to have much of an impact.
I would say the FED has more influence than Trump.
The lone exception was the crisis in 2008-2009.

Got it.

sleeper;1837527 wrote:Yes I have. Timing the market is often difficult but I invest long term as I plan on retiring before I hit the age of 40. Missing out on a few % increase is going to pay off because I believe the market will turn sometime this year. Instead of timing that perfectly, I'd rather exit now with substantial gains and stay in cash until I believe the market is less bloated.

You only see PE's this high a year or two before and after recessions (when earnings are much lower).
