All right...so what's the down & dirty on investments/stocks for us "little people" [View all]

I still have some communications stocks my Dad left me. It's been holding pretty steady so far.

But I am curious what anyone's take is on the actual finance climate coming up.

Like, am I best off cashing everything out and holding onto the cash in January? Or should I just hope for the best that things don't drop like a rock after inauguration?

I know, it's ALLLLL up in the air. I get it that we won't REALLY know much till he takes office...
OR, are things just gonna tank by year's end and it's best to get out before I lose everything?

At least I still have my house...wonder how the real estate mkt will do in CA by next year too...hmmmm....

I'm a total newbie and have NO idea how these things work. So please be gentle in your responses.
