Does anybody have a link to market futures or markets already trading?

I want to see how bedlam/mayhem/ lunacy is affecting them.

1. Me too DSB

I am pulling out of the market thiscweek

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. I don't have any holdings. I liquidated all my assets for living money during the Great Recession.

When you liquidate mutual funds you have to wait until the end of the day for them to settle. That can be nerve racking. I remember liquidating some positions prior to NATO mistakenly bombing the Chinese embassy in Belgrade. I was sweating bullets. Luckily I only lost a 1% or so.

5. I went to cash immediately after the election.

Can't afford a roller coaster at almost 66. Guess I'll have to settle for meager interest on short term bonds now.

9. At 61 here - my adviser (who is very left wing) strongly suggests us staying in

she is watching closely - she's done very well by us for nearly a decade and we trust her.

12. Think about that decade--coming off the crash of 08--and of course you would expect

to have done well.

I don't have the tolerance for risk at this point...especially thinking about what might happen to
SS and Medicare.

But Trump may manage to get us all blown up from nukes being thrown back and forth and then who will care anyway?

[NRaleighLiberal]

13. yes, agreed on the SS and Medi. Scary scary times.

glad we had a week in FL Keys to temper the awful news I caught up on each night.

Back to reality (spelled Raleigh) tomorrow!

14. There's a protest today at RDU at 1 PM. Expecting 1,000+ people.

Guess you'll miss it?

[NRaleighLiberal]

15. yes we won't be back until late tomorrow night.

Will be watching for upcoming events, though - awaiting more news on the science march. Seems like a biggie on Feb 13 too. Time to get active!

6. TY. They look flat.

I would expect them to tank during all this uncertainty. However "markets can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent."

4. Unless you are ready to retire or getting close..it's probably not in your best interest to pull

out of the market.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

7. I'm not in the market. My interest is political.

[NRaleighLiberal]

8. I use this...link below. My view - it is not time to bail out of the market (yet)

I am sure quite a few of us have our retirement savings tied up in IRAs or 401Ks (especially if we were in big companies that did some matching). My CPA and investment adviser (who is very liberal) are watching carefully. As of yesterday, she is advising staying the course, but being vigilant. It is not wise to get out now - when things are at their highest. The trick is to spot any sort of long term negative trend.

10. Futures like current stock prices fluctuate inter and intraday.

I follow them to get insight into how my retirement investments might do on the following trading day, but stock prices don't necessarily follow future prices.

My general sense is futures have been behaving similar to current stock prices since Nov 8th. They've gone up overall.

I can only assume the mayhem has not yet become mayhemish enough for Wall Street to panic.

11. US Market futures open for trading at 6pm EST.

You can usually fine a 20 minute delayed quote on yahoo finance somewhere. I believe the quote symbol is ES=F
