on the naive belief that Trump will create lots of jobs and bring back manufacturing and coal mines and a free unicorn for everyone after we get rid of the job stealing immigrants. Many of them missed out on much of Obama's market growth because they put it all in gold.

That's going to come back down soon. I've been shifting investments into more conservative risk-averse funds and warning people that Trump's idiocy is going to crash the markets eventually.
