Anyone fortunate enough to be fretting about their 401k?

23. What makes you think Trump being arrested or resigning or whatever will drop the market?

And if so, will the drop last more than a week or month? And when will you get back into the market? (A market timing decision is really two decisions -- when to get out, and when to get back in).

I think Pence will be as good for investors (in the short-run anyway, and as bad for ordinary working and middle-class Americans) as Trump.

I can understand trying to time the markets (although virtually no professionals have been successful at it consistently, at least I haven't heard of one, excepting those investment newsletter claims, and I doubt DUers are any different despite unverifiable claims to the contrary), but trying to fine-tune it to a particular event, especially one like this, is, well, pretty out there. If you think the market is way overvalued, then I don't think you should wait for some event, start easing out now.
