11. If you're still in the market, I'd get advice from a professional not DU

There is a long history of really bad advice/predictions about the stock market on DU.

If, like some on DU, you had gotten out the day after Trump was elected, you would have walked away from a very significant gain from that point until now.

Will there be a correction? Almost certainly? When? Hard to say? Will the gains that have occurred since election day be wiped out overnight? Almost certainly not. If the market turns south, most people who haven't been buying near the peak prices will be able to get out and still have a comfortable return.

But every situation is different and depends on when you invested and what you invested in. Just getting out lock stock and barrel generally is terrible advice.
