I think what makes people nervous is the potential for China's economy to suddenly implode--especially if any of China's Big Four banks suddenly go under from too many unrecoverable loans. A suddenly implosion of the Chinese economy will literally take the entire planet's economic engine with it.

No it won’t. This inter-connectivity stuff is nonsense, let China collapse, who cares ..

There are a lot of potential scenarios, but the biggest determinant from my perspective is this election. For the long-term, clearly we are way, way better off getting the pseudo-progressive, globalist-socialist narcissists out of office, and I have zero doubt that the economy will prosper long-term with a Trump presidency.

That said, I am very worried about what is going to happen in the shorter-term. I think we are somewhat safe from a massive sell-off in the markets, and safe from a massive collapse before the elections. In order to try to help Hillary and the democrats there will be a concerted effort to try to ‘shore up’ the numbers and keep things going before the election. If Trump wins, they will let it all fall, and attempt to blame him. So, from my perspective, we all have a few months to sort out what the next investment/financial move should be.

Not really. Just make sure you’ve got extra popcorn, and you should be fine.
