Perhaps I should sell my bond funds, that include US treasuries,
as well. They're worth crap, really.

US debt is not really a good deal for non-US investors... I get
same yearly interest as money market funds in Europe, 2% - because
of the hedging costs. +- duration risk up or down, aka movement of
US interest rates.

Should have bought gold more. But good that I bought at least
something. A thousand times more sensible investment than crypto,
that's for certain.

Gold has still solid drivers to keep on appreciating in value,
mainly central bank buying, ever-increasing debt & possible de-
dollarization. Not to forget Trump caused constant uncertainty. All >>>>> the "experts" said recently end of last year that it will be USD 5k >>>>> end of 2026 - which I thought was way too tentative - it's nearly
there already at 4860 at the time of writing. I think maybe 6k end
of 2026, maybe even more... who knows...

Also, as central banks go, the "high price" is not an issue.
They're not buying fractional coins at shoelace budget as random
doomsday prepper would.

Nasty and aggressive I can tolerate, but that's where I draw the
line...

:-)

It's rather amazing in 2016~2020 Trump kept touting the rise of USA
equities; and from 2024 until now, he quickly dismisses it saying he
is looking long term.

I'm not following, Scall.

Let me give you an idea of where I'm coming from.

Any observation made at a certain point in time relates to circumstances
in force at that time. Later, those circumstances may/may not prevail,
and if they don't, then it would seem incorrect to stick with the same observation made earlier.

Trump touted the indices as a benchmark on how well he did during season
one. When stocks hit new heights during Biden, he adopted the "stocks
only benefit the few" line.

What's the difference in "observations made at a certain point in time relating to circumstances"? What Trump thinks looks good on him on TV.
Nothing else.

Did this have to be elaborated?
