I don't know the extent of a downturn, but, the market is very weak internally. Many of stocks that led the rally have already pulled back to levels that are more than just a correction.
An example is Gilead Sciences. It peaked at about 120 and is now ~75. I can point to many others.
I took a cash position at the beginning of 2016 and haven't regretted it for a second.
The market has been pretty docile for the past few months, IMO, because of uncertainty about the election. After that's done, I'm expecting fireworks.

Market continues to hold support while waiting on election results. I anticipate a large selloff if Trump were to be victorious. If Hillary should win, I would expect a short term bounce which will ultimately fail. Either way we will head lower imo.

That Fed announcement at 2 took it out. It's been a great month so far. ;)
It did bounce back but the rallies are being launched from lower levels.

When Trump is elected, the establishment will tank the stock market, however, it will be the best buying opportunity since 2009, for both me, and the establishment!

Market had a big day on news that the investigation conclusions remained the same.
Those who follow this shit, will remember that the market also had a big rally leading up to the Brexit vote off a Poll which favored "Remain."

Except for a little money market stash I got completely out of equities Monday. That was the plan since early this year but Monday was an obvious bounce and too good a time to get out.
My guess was the same. No matter who is elected in 12-18 months major corrections are coming.

Of course it will crash. Then recover within 6 months like it always does.
Smart people buy when it's down.

The day after Donald Trump’s unexpected win in the U.S. presidential election, one of Hillary Clinton’s biggest billionaire supporters had the best day on the stock market of any American tycoon.
A rise in Berkshire Hathaway shares added $1.7 billion to Warren Buffett’s fortune on Wednesday, bringing his total net worth to $68 billion, according to FORBES estimates. That gain plus another $2 billion rise in his fortune between Friday and Tuesday was enough to make Buffett once again the third richest person in the world, behind Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates and Zara founder Amancio Ortega and ahead of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, who had unseated Buffett earlier this year.

The Dow did well under Obama, that was the show and no go. The much larger Nasdaq hasn't matched earlier highs. Between Obama and Hillary, drugs and biotech took a beating. So did energy stocks. Lower corporate tax rates will bring back the general market, and improve Main Street, as well as Wall Street.
Instead of taxing corporate income from foreign countries, we should be rewarding US based corporations, for bringing more income into the USA, by not taxing such income at all. Then, those corporations wouldn't be hiding that income, quite legally mind you, in foreign tax havens. Trump is proposing tax cuts that will makes some of those reforms possible, much to the benefit of the US economy, and the US markets generally.

This has been and is a fed propped market. There is little return to be had outside the market so many conservative investors have jumped in.
Interest rates begin to move up and the market will come down.
-
It's not too difficult to see that the trend will be down for a new president. It's been 8 year cycles for big down periods and certainly no reason to think this time will be different as all the numbers are on shaky fundamentals. The fact remains that wage growth has been stagnant and demand is mostly lower but that has not hit the market yet. Overstaying your welcome at record highs has consequences as it can't be sustained forever.

Bloomberg reports they piled into gold ETFs, some with leverage, after the election, expecting Trump to trigger a risk-selloff. The opposite occurred and gold has dropped nearly 15% from the election-night high.

Dow Jones roars towards 20,000 mark as US dollar hits 14-year high

US stock markets staged a rally yesterday as the so-called 'Trump Bump’ buoyed sentiment among investors, sending the Dow Jones Industrial Average within striking distance of the 20,000 mark - a level it has never surpassed.
The dollar hit a 14-year high against major currencies, as the US economy continues to zoom ahead and following a rise in interest rates last week.

Oh no doubt. When this started, I believed she was the favorite. I thought Trump was a joke at the start of the primary season and that he would get killed if he won the nomination.
I didn't change my tune till after he won the nomination, when I still thought Clinton would win, but believed Trump had a legit shot.

The market will go up until just before the midterm elections in 2018.

Yeah, Chucky Schwab said that in the 80s....but this is a different time. HFT and fudged reports and stock buybacks and seasonally adjusted numbers....and all figures based on infinite growth. They plan on further dollar devaluation so nobody notices the gains are absorbed over time. Lack of interest/return on CDs/savings accounts has a lot of money in the market that shouldn't be IMO. A lot of people are up for a haircut that can't afford it.
If you trust the fake numbers, the corporations, the lawyers, the accountants, the brokers, the govt - all....with your money, then stay in. I'm out and won't go back until valuation gets close to real. I can make more with my capital on my own and don't require a forced savings account, which is what most 401k are. If you can't manage your money then the lack of access saves you from yourself. That's the only nice thing I have to say about the current system, ha.
We are still at all time highs. There is good reason to be cautious and have some liquidity.

Passive Investing: The Evidence the Fund Management Industry Would Prefer You Not to See
Warren Buffett, letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders, 1996

Warren Buffett’s 15-Minute Retirement Plan
If Warren Buffett weren't the world's best stock picker, how would he plan for retirement?
Luckily for the rest of us, he's answered this question before. In an annual letter to shareholders, Buffett laid out a retirement plan that would take just minutes to implement. This is the very two-pronged plan he outlined for governing the trust he's leaving behind for his wife:
My advice to the trustee could not be more simple: Put 10% of the cash in short-term government bonds and 90% in a very low-cost S&P 500 index fund. (I suggest Vanguard's. (NASDAQMUTFUND:VFINX)) I believe the trust's long-term results from this policy will be superior to those attained by most investors -- whether pension funds, institutions, or individuals -- who employ high-fee managers.
Buffett suggests the Vanguard S&P 500 index as one of the best funds for investing in U.S. stocks. A good fund for short-term government bonds can be found under the same roof. The Vanguard Short-Term Government Bond Index Fund (NASDAQMUTFUND:VSBSX) should fit investors just fine for this purpose.

(NASDAQMUTFUND:VFINX)) I believe the trust's long-term results from this policy will be superior to those attained by most investors -- whether pension funds, institutions, or individuals -- who employ high-fee managers.
Buffett suggests the Vanguard S&P 500 index as one of the best funds for investing in U.S. stocks. A good fund for short-term government bonds can be found under the same roof. The Vanguard Short-Term Government Bond Index Fund (NASDAQMUTFUND:VSBSX) should fit investors just fine for this purpose.

I'm a big fan of index funds. Own a couple Schwab funds, no buying fees and low management fees.
Excellent choice for someone who doesn't know much about investing.

As America approaches the one-year anniversary of the election of Donald Trump, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is on target to book its best annual performance under a first-term president when measured from Election Day.
The Dow is up by around 29 percent since Trump’s November 8 election victory over Hillary Clinton. That’s the best post-election, one-year performance for a first-term president since Franklin Roosevelt’s in 1932.
The Trump stock market easily beats the first years of his recent predecessors. The election of Barack Obama in 2008 was followed by rise of just 1.8 percent. The stock market declined after George W. Bush’s election in 2000.
Stocks declined after the elections of 1980, 1976, and 1968.
The 1960 election of John F. Kennedy was followed by a nearly 20 percent rise in the stock market. George H.W. Bush’s election led to a rise in the Dow of 23.3 percent. Smaller gains followed the elections of 1948 and 1952.
Roosevelt’s rally, which saw the Dow rise by more than 50 percent, has never been surpassed.

Market continues to hold support while waiting on election results. I anticipate a large selloff if Trump were to be victorious.

Are you being serious?
If you are that nervous you should be in CDs.
