What do you all think about trimming VP stocks after the midterm elections?

I am super glad I ran into trend-following. I think it was Machine Ghost who tipped me off.

I'm glad to hear it. My family has done well with Netflix but I'm below breakeven myself, on that one.

Re: Stock scream room
NFLX is up there with AMZN on the number of people who have been bashing it for burning cash for years but they have yet to stop going up. And the people who bash have not stopped bashing. One in particular I recall was calling to short AMZN in the $600s a couple years ago.
I don't really understand the passion some people have with their positions on certain stocks (or gold, or bonds). Why beat yourself up with the wrong analysis, day after day, year after year? Yeah, maybe one day you'll be right and AMZN will lose 50% of its value but that will be to a level higher than when you called to short it.
Just own some of all of them with the PP.

Yeah, saw that on Bogleheads. Now they’re resuming that perennial argument about international vs all U.S. Why do I even lurk.

Re: Stock scream room
Stocks are inflation + dividend. Gambling/hot money cycles in the short term
Inflation can be "good" when its smart loans being made or gov printing money for infrastructure. 2007 was dumb loans inflation and Iraq war

Schwab, 10/12/2018:
"Stock market action recently illustrates again why it’s important for investors to remain disciplined and diversified in a way consistent with their risk tolerances and investment goals. The bull market may have more legs, and upside surprises are possible, but risks have been rising over the past year or so, leading us to be more cautious and recommend that investors limit the risk in their portfolios."

Just picked up Ned Davis Research Group's note for October at Schwab.com
MORE EVIDENCE OF A GLOBAL BEAR MARKET
With Technology and U.S. benchmarks joining other global indices on the downside, it has become increasingly evident that stocks remain in a global bear market that started in January. Our Bear Watch report has moved closer to providing its confirmation, in which case we will be likely to downgrade equities to an underweight allocation for the first time in nearly a decade. An oversold bounce would provide a selling opportunity
for that downgrade.
55% equites, 35% bonds, 10% cash is their recommendation for risk-intolerant conservative investors.
{Ochotona is 45% equities, 35% bonds, 10% cash, 10% gold}

Re: Stock scream room
From my friend Lance Roberts:
"Last week, we further reduced equity risk further bringing exposures down to just 40% of our portfolios. On a rally to the 200-dma which fails, we will reduce risk more and add negative hedges to portfolios."
