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.

Best Buy has seen declining revenues the last 5 years (2020-2024).

They have over a billion dollars in long term debt that they aren’t touching.

Since 2020 Best Buy has spent $5.7 billion on stock buybacks and have paid out $3.1 billion in dividends.

I do not see how that is a wise strategy. They spent $8.8 billion on buybacks and dividends when their business model is failing.

It’s like they looked at Bed Bath and Beyond’s playbook and are doing the exact same thing.

That is because they are all following the same public company C-suite playbook. Extract cash from the company, file bankruptcy, leave the US tax payer on the hook.

Profitable in Q3 without any console refresh is pretty fantastic. They have $4.6 billion in cash with about $20 million of low interest debt.

Stock Market is starting to resemble social media in the emotional aspect. Good grief. Powell says "meh Maybe not as many rate cuts in 2025 as previously thought" and investors running like hair on fire.
