I'm not as aggressive as I used to be, but then again, I'm staring an early retirement in the face.  I do think that one thing that I have "timed" right is my recent real estate moves.  We are having our new home (retirement estate) built right now on a good piece of land in a rural area.  I am hoping that we can get it completed moved in and sell our current home before the bubble pops again (it's looking that way to me).

I have been long on tech and defense sectors, and at this point I am looking at possibly tapering off and getting into more dividend paying stocks and sectors that will survive an economic downturn (relatively short term).  As it relates to politics, the outcome of the Georgia elections today will be telling.  I predict another "vote counting mess" which will for a very short period of time destabilize the market, especially if it looks like a democrat win.  If it looks more like a republican win then the market might move a bit sideways for a bit, then resume an upward trend.

A balance or power is always better than one side having all the power, it doesn't matter which side.
