Criminal Trump's first year has been dedicated to lies, insider trading, smashing his opponents at all and any cost, oppressing and taking from the poor and giving to the rich. Trump will very likely push the stock market higher if it will help his approval ratings. Tax cuts for the rich will boost the stock market further as those people invest their additional profits. Deregulation is likely to be offset by tariffs.
It seems the USA exists under a dictatorship, and perhaps, in essence, they always have, historically moving forward positively only due to the caliber of their presidential candidates. So now they have a dud, and crucially, they've allowed said dud to take control not once, but twice. At what point will USA decide enough is enough and demand their democracy back from the man who would be King?
Do your best to get a finger on the actual facts surrounding the reasons for the stock price drop. Remember the markets often overreact. If you are comfortable with approximately where the bottom is (doesn't have to be rock bottom) and you are thinking seriously about buying the dip, consider selling a put option instead. Instant cash in the pocket along with the obligation to buy if the price dips a bit lower. Win Win. [Allin]
