See, I don't get this mentality. Someone is going to get elected, right? Can we agree on that? Now that someone can affect your life in ways either very personal (civil liberties, rights to your own body, separation of church and state, etc.), or on a grander scale (the stock market, oil prices, cost of goods, real estate values, etc.).

So why not support a side based on your own personal ideology and principles (and self well being)?

All I know is that Linda and I sold at the right time. The stock market keeps creeping down because of trade war fears and oil prices keep creeping up because of lack of regulation.

The house we sold for $500K three months ago is listed on Zillow today for $493K. And we all know that Zillow inflates their estimates. I'd wager its market value right now is more like $480K-$485K.
