Well, the market has recovered from last nights drop. I think I will stick with my current rate of investing.

If you hold any stocks or ETFs in renewables or clean energy, do yourself a favor and just resist the temptation to take a look.

A broad based Mutual Fund, or established Blue Chip indexed fund should work well if you're in it for the long haul. Assuming we don't get into a trade war or a real hot war sooner or later.

This liberal would be about socializing . . . uh, umm. . . . Would be about, basically, taking over, and the government running all of your companies.

All the risk is priced in right now, so it's neither good nor bad. Save for retirement as always.

A trade war would stoke a recession, but we don't know yet if that's coming and stocks are currently priced with that possibility in mind.
