Notice the big drop in the markets today

5. It dropped, not bigly though

I saw a 0.38% drop in my equity portfolio of index funds which was partially offset by bond indexes moving up.

I think that positive expectations (that some investors have - certainly not me) for this administration are priced in now. It will take a while for these expectations to evaporate when the administration achieves nothing of lasting value for this country's economy, or worse decimates it. In the mean time I appreciate the money those optimists invested to help me take capital gains. Perhaps they will learn that you can't run a country like a shady real estate business, or perhaps they will learn nothing and will continue to support me in my old age.
