LOL! No, but as always, it's better to look before you leap especially now that the rules are uncertain. FWIW, in my personal case I was lucky to unload "most" touchy tech issues and roll into real estate, but uncertainty is sky-high and climbing, to the point where primary investments are those where I feel I can affect the value of an investment DIRECTLY (like my own business, r.e. that can be improved, and not depend on faulty media and "accounting" sources. And secondarily some investments maintain value through political chaos and changes in energy economics. My personal view involves extreme distrust of the powers that be, and likewise distrust of economic information. Specifically, NEM and HDWR, in spite of accounting risk that is not yet over. The powers that be are committed to higher energy prices. Being a tech-type, tho', there are also some defense issues involved in detection and security. For the past 20 years I've been sold on the acceleration of technical and economic development here and worldwide, and think we'll get back on track for a higher rate of growth than we've ever seen. The requirement: trustworthy, ABSOLUTELY OPEN AND TRANSPARENT government. Which means the current regime has to change, or go. Growth other than military-industrial, will be pathetic until then, with the "maelfactors of wealth" and government parasites sucking the lifeblood out of this country until they are removed. All JMO of course.
