Nov 2016

sold all my stocks today and will put money in bonds when the interest rates go up, which will probably happen next month. Bonds aren't risky if you hold them to term, and interest rates should start going up soon. I'm too old for the volatility of stocks, and the Trump plan makes no sense to me. Remember he's mostly in real estate, not stocks, and he has said he wants to get rid of the carried interest tax break, maybe to punish Romney. It's all personal with him.
