FWIW .. having lived in the USA for 30 years I finally learned the lesson...when people say, this time its different,and it wasnt , I was buying in the last 2009 meltdown.. so I nicely melted up in the 2009 recovery.

however... I do believe , this time it is different. why ? because we have a vengeful idiot in the Waffle House, who takes delight in throwing multiple grenades into a crowded room every day.. and there are no guardrails, and no opposition.. and I dont say "yet" either... we saw 4 years of version 1.0 , and in only 9 weeks look at version 2.0,
he can do this for at least another 4 years.... imho at least.

so this time , for me , is different. I am not buying except in euro stocks and currencies , enough to see me through the next 4 years. I already have a property abroad that I mentioned before. Not to say that ROW wont suffer either, I am positive it will, but less so and in a ,I believe, safer manner.

I may look back and with hindsight regret that I dont repeat my 2009 melt up successes , but I doubt it very much. for me , at least, its "bunker mode".

your mileage may vary , and if it does, I wish you well. GLTA. as an older singleton , I am risk off fpr 4 years. The rest can ride it out on the US stock market. (mainly BRKB)
