In the past, I’ve tried to straddle the issue by splitting one part of my investments into passive buy and hold index funds, and a more “active” portion of picking individuals funds/stocks. The index funds were meant to be “set it and forget it” just in case.

I don’t really know what caused me to sell off even that. Because I’ve never touched that portion for years until November of this year.

Admittedly, trump really really spooked me out. And the mistake I made was emotion based. So…lesson learn from me was, don’t go nut-so even on the portion of the portfolio that you aren’t suppose to touch….Oh well… Chalk this up as a lesson learned.
