I'm wanting to get into trading individual stocks, but not ready yet. With my current outlook I'd be shorting or doing put stategies more than buying.

Have fun.

and GLD (gold) is a bet that Trump makes things even worse this week.

Long term I love dividends. Sold my favorites (QYLD and ET) in February. Waiting for the bottom then I will buy them back.
