I know the SDMB members are not brokers.
I AM NOT ASKING FOR STOCK NAMES.
But Gold can’t be bought in an IRA.
Trump is threatening half of South America. And NATO!
I have my money in Euro funds that cover defense, aerospace & heavy industry.
These could wind up frozen.
And suggestions of Nations or Industries to invest in?
NOT US Big Tech. I hold the Tech Bros responsible for this goddam mess.
Here are 1200 posts by the SDMB investment brain trust on exactly this topic.
I suggest you read that and get back to us.
Why do you make claims like this that are so easily researched?
But yes - read the investment thread.
To be honest, despite what is going on, I still have roughly one third invested in a broad based domestic stock fund.
If you don’t want to read the massive investment thread (although it would probably be a good idea), the first requirement is for you to define your requirements. What do you want to accomplish with your money? If you have certain ethical/moral requirements, what are they?
Once you have done that you can make a plan for investing.
Then just follow the plan. Don’t allow day-to-day news or even your hunches about long-term trends to knock you off your plan.
If you have a fear that the government will somehow freeze your assets then you probably shouldn’t be invested with US-based companies at all (which would be every IRA, AFAIK). Gold under a mattress is probably the only option at that point.
