General Stock Ideas

It's true that there are many dangers to the financial sectors out there as you have listed. On the other hand, corporations will benefit handsomely from the big tax cut sending earnings higher and p/e's lower. And today I hear that some Republicans and other political leaders are trying to dissuade Trump from implementing the currently planned tariffs and possible future ones. Angela Merkel has said she doesn't want a trade war. In fact, most of the people commenting on the subject agree that a trade war is not in the best interests of anyone.

Some day the consequences of debt and other factors could deal a severe blow to the global economy. But I don't think anyone has a handle on when that might place, whether it be this year, two years from now, or whether the can can be kicked down the road even longer. I'm thinking of selling my positions in SGH & AMAT after their next earnings releases and holding cash or using it for short swing trades. But I'm planning on holding my SGMO because if they have indeed found cures for cancer, ALS, AD, HIV, Hemophilia, etc., the stock price should rise regardless of what the overall stock market does.
