Quick question for everyone here, curious on how your thoughts are.
I'm a buy and hold person, I only sell if any of below 3 conditions are met:
1) I need extra cash for unexpected events
2) Fundamentals of the company I bought has changed
3) Assumption that US will continue to grow and be a global economic leader
Mostly due to #3, I have not sold at all for the last \~8 years and only bought more during dips, including covid crash. While I'll most likely be buying more again if we see further dip from here due to tariff wars and a possible recession/depression, I'd be lying if I say I haven't questioned #3 in the past couple of weeks.
What do you all think? Even if this orangutan cancels all tariffs going forward, I'm curious if US will have the ability to regain its trust globally until at least the next election (and let's please hope we get a better president elected by then, not this 3rd term nonsense).
I'm believing that this time will also not be different again, and US market will find its strength over time, but I'm just curious of everyone's view today. Thanks in advance.
