Have you guys looked at rebalancing your portfolios since Trumps win?

I saw a blurb that folks who had 60/40 (fixed equities/fixed income) portfolios in 2020, and didn’t touch them now have 80/20 portfolios. Seems like we are all ripe for a rebalancing. I’m personally wondering how I should shift my portfolio after the win. Thinking more small to mid-caps.

My advisor said small and mid were expected to out-perform.

Mine was high on Defense stocks, Banking and Energy sectors- so i got into a defense fund ( Lockheed, Boeing, Raytheon etc etc )

Also liked moves associated with defense/autonomous weapon platforms ( AI, chip mfg )

But to keep perspective- because if the incoming administration is truly going to put forth their economic plan, things can and will turn quick.

Yes, and historically markets under R presidents substantially underperform expectations.

Waiting for the inevitable crash and buy the dip. Until then, weekly DCA into VGT and VTSAX. I get the push for small caps, but I think large caps will no longer face anti-trust lawsuits and mergers will boom over the next 4 years.

I'm habitually bad at timing stocks. I have a ton of stories of buying and then stocks immediately tanking like 40% in the following weeks.

I bought Disney a couple weeks ago. Feels good to have one go the other direction for a change.

Glad I got some Dutch Bros a while back (BROS) in August for about $31/share. Trading at $52.62 today. As always, wish I bought more.
