The markets had gone parabolic, unsustainable trajectory. What we need is a healthy correction, consolidation, and a new trend, either up or down. Personally, I need a downtrend. I'm 80% cash right now.

When Drumpf was getting elected, the Futures were down several hundred points, but ended the next day up big.

There are powers controlling these things, and if they want to jump in, they will.
