I cashed out my most speculative (that is, managed) funds. I kept an index fund, since I hopefully won't need to access that money for some time.

I can't help but feel there is market manipulation going on here. We saw the same during his first term. Speculators who have advance knowledge of when the child-king will wreak havoc could clean up in the equity markets. I would love to see the trading activity of Trump & Friends. I suspect you would see them shorting futures just before his market-busting tantrums.
