A pair of Long Island Trump voters visited Ireland recently. I think they were in their late 60s / early 70s. It looks like the current administration will be downsizing or disbanding the organisation their daughter works at and she'll likely lose her job.

Some other changes made by this administration mean that several of their investments are losing value. So they're very unhappy about him being in power now, although apparently the rape thing and being an overall creep was never an issue.

Anyway, Id' read that people like this exist and never actually saw / heard them before. It's real folks. They don't seem particularly bright but it seems they've done well for themselves in life.

If you went to cash, perhaps you should move to treasuries instead to get 4-5% return in the meantime?

Otherwise, find mutual funds with exposure to euro markets to stay in the game. Time in the market will outperform timing the market. The market can remain irrational longer than you can afford to stuff cash under your mattress.

My advice would be to become an arms dealer or to hire an expert hacker but all my financial know-how comes from 80s action films.

That's what I did with my 401k and IRA. My actual concern is with the US Dollar itself, hence not wanting it to be cash. This seemed like the best hedge/option for now.
