The market under Obama has been marvelous, and the increase since November 8 is unnerving.

My guess is that it will rise for the next couple of months, and then crash, and stay low for the rest of a Trump administration.

More to the point, even had Hillary been elected, we are distinctly in a bubble, and as a retired person who depends on her investments, this is quite scary.
