A Partisan Investor Dilemma

What's left for America's markets?

With already more than $28 trillion in national debt, it’s no surprise that America is nearing its next crisis in a few years. But there seems to be nothing to worry about - at least that’s what Biden believes. Biden has got plans, apparently. Americans taking the burden of paying the trillions of dollars of debt? No worries! Biden thinks that giving the IRS an extra $80 billion in funding will clear up the Americans’ misconceptions! And that’s just a little smidge of Biden’s plan.

Biden has somewhat succeeded in acquiescing to the hard Left and building up the government’s control over American citizens. However, there is no doubt that Biden has triumphed in ruining a coronavirus recovering economy. The punishment of the Biden economy is clear: an impending market crash.

The term “impending” is not to be taken so lightly. The more the market crash is delayed, the worse the consequences are, for the average American citizen that is. With the Fed, under Powell, delaying interest rate hikes, inflation is climbing. An already problematic inflation situation on top of an impending market crash is not what an American wishes for. But alas, why would Biden choose to have a market crash in his own presidency? After all, only a responsible president would do such a thing.

One might wonder what all this means for our fellow investors who have been highly optimistic recently, especially with the popularity of meme stocks rising among novice speculators. Since the “impending market crash” may be further delayed beyond 2023, it is impossible to speculate when one may wish to sell all of his/her shares. However, it is certain that investing now is the only option to combat the current inflation rates. Given the continuation of the market volatility, wise picks for stocks may land profits higher than previously imagined. But the process of buying and selling stocks must be done before 2023, or even by mid 2022, to avoid any risks of encountering the market crash whilst still obtaining shares.

With politics controlling our investing lives and breeding uncertainty amongst everyone, we must devise our own plans to prevent Biden’s plans from ruining us all. Whether we are taking advantage of our Roth IRA account, stocking up gains from a still volatile market, or simply immersing ourselves in hope that our rainy day funds will save the day, we must brace for impact.
