I hear ya...Trump once again is using fear to protect himself. The stock market, by most accounts by market watchers, is due for a correction this year or in 2019 - how much the correction will be and how soon it will take place is anyone's guess, but anyone with 1/2 a brain knows the market cannot sustain rising indefinitely. I personally hate to see innocent people lose hard-earned savings and you can be sure the "big guys" have already protected themselves.
