Every weekend,
I punch share prices and other datums into my database
and ask myself "Can I retire yet?"
And the answer is always, NO!.
But, I do keep improving my position.
Anyway,
This being the end of the first week since Trump got
elected I took a look at what has happened within
my portfolio so far.
More of my holdings went down than up.
But, not distressingly so. I'm not unhappy about things.
My bond funds took a nose dive. SCMBX - a municipal
bond fund went down about 1.3% . . . VWAHX, another
municipal bond fund went down 1.4%. VBMFX - a corporate
bond fund in my 401K went down 2%. Meaning interest rates
are going up? Obozo trying to 'crash' the bund market?
To be honest, I'm happy to see rates going up. Means I can
buy more bond fund cheaper for bigger returns.
On the stock market side - Several of my more conservative
holdings went down.
VFINX - Vanguards Index 500 fund went up 3.8%
NAESX - Vanguards small cap index fund went up 6.6%
Suggesting maybe the stock markets like the idea of
a Trump Presidency?
Comments?
