I was thinking about this today too but then I started wondering about the likelihood of DT sparking some kind of war where D.C. is nuked and my property with it. Think I'm gonna wait.

I'm in the process. Property is a long term investment and there's no better time than present if you have the means. You are right that the economy will fluctuate but I don't think enough so that it will make a huge difference in housing. Or at least not one like the last bubble which not even professionals could see coming. Point is, what's the worrying going to protect you from ?

I’m 26 and have a fair chunk of my NW tied to Cloudflare - a tech stock that I believe has the opportunity to 3x and become a $100b+ company over the long term. Similarly, I have a lot in cloud computing etf - WCLD.

Given short term rotation out of growth stocks, I’m confused on what to do. I think we still have some time before growth stocks bottom out, but do I sell?

I would consider myself a “long only” investor, but am unsure what to do given my lack of diversif
