I would look here. A good portion in T-Bills at last snap shot.
Emerging markets? Good prospects in the near term? Yes or no.
priced in at this point so i would say neutral

I love the ridiculousness of commodities markets and the fun predictions. So, I'm gonna throw out a fun one (because precious metals are too boring) -
Cocoa. Yeah that's right, chocolate - as precious as gold in some ancient cultures. Christmas season candy is probably already priced in but I'm pretty bullish on it anyways and here's why. First of all, huge winter storm about to hit the East Coast, the first of the season. What do you stock up on when the cold hits? Hot chocolate. Kids and parents both love a tasty hot chocolate beverage when that big blanket of snow hits. Second, lock downs are going back in effect in a bunch of big cities. That means more staying at home, which means more comfort food cooking, which means more chocolate.
Also I'm thinking gold would be an interesting bet over the next couple weeks. If the Democrats win in Georgia then I bet we'll see a pretty big pop in gold

Oh dear God - please don’t let the Dems rig and steal another election. If they take the Senate, the impact of those corrupt, immoral, America-hating, totalitarian leftists will be devastating.

I am not sure why you would care how certain indexes did during this year. You should only care about the long-term. Not YTD or anything else. You will have some downswings from time to time but only should be caring about the long-term. And the American indexes always go up over the long haul.

Oh it's gonna happen. You know those DemonRats are gonna manage to effectively conspire with hundreds, maybe even thousands of people spread across every single polling place in the state and either not leave any evidence trail at all, or, if they do leave evidence, they'll conspire with a few dozen additional high powered people in all the right places to cover it all up!
High powered efficiency, speed, and coordination is definitely the hallmark of the US government
Igy - serious question for you ... You predicted the Dow down to 12,000. It is now 30,200. Would you might say that is one of the worst predictions EVER???
I saved this story from a couple years ago.
I think this massive bet worked, but holy mother of Pre the owner of this option contract must have been sweating pure adrenaline in March 2020.
As I understand it, if the SPX had hit 2,014, the trader would have lost more than $500 million.
It hit 2,192
"The trader sold 19,000 put options on the S&P 500 Index .SPX obligating him or her to buy the market benchmark at 2,100 on Dec. 18, 2020, data from New York-based options analytics firm Trade alert showed.
As long as the index doesn’t drop more than 22 percent from its current level of 2,582 by that date, the bet will earn the trader roughly $175 million in premiums."
While Monday’s sale was nowhere near as large as Buffett’s, the trader could still lose more than half a billion dollars if stocks turn sour over the next couple of years.

The Hussman is the worst rated Morningstar fund. It has negative returns in 9 of the last 10 years. It is a pile of dog crap.
It will continue to whoop your portfolio over the next ten years. ?
