Yes, I've been wondering what's a good alternative though.
Long term I'm not bothered but we could be on the brink of a years long trade war and I want some growth in the short term.
Gilts?
Precious metals?
European defence company shares?
Part of the issue here is that the Dems did indeed get properly beaten. But not by that much. There’s always a lean towards the winner. But that lean is conditional.
Well, it depends. A big allocation to equity will always make sense for someone with a long horizon.
People shouldn't be changing their asset allocation in response to news - except if fears about the risk of a crash remind you that you're allocated beyond your level of comfort!
I say this as a dull passive investor. Perhaps the most "active" thing I'll think about doing is holding a bit of cash back to invest in the event of everything falling part.
