Should’ve trusted my gut and at least skimmed some off the top in February like I wanted to but every time I call he (70yo white conservative) goes off for a full hour and he talks me out of it.
His arguments are that the stock market and the government are different. That corporations like Amazon and Apple and Nvidia are *global* and will continue to thrive and increase my portfolio regardless of what happens in the US. “Stonks go up to the moon” in perpetuity because “that’s the way it’s always been”?
He’s just blowing smoke up my ass, right? These boomers can’t fathom that this is different. And this is different, right?
