Well, as everyone probably heard Donald Trump has been elected as the president of the United States. Some are happy and some are mad. As mentioned yesterday this seemed to spark a lot of interest in people who want to move elsewhere. One thing that caught my interest today was news about the markets crashing really bad when people realized that Donald Trump was going to be elected. This resulted in a lot of “I told you so” comments of course.
But then today as I reading various sites apparently it bounced back and was supposed to be a record of some sort. Then you have people on the other side of the fence saying “I told you so” instead. Kind of makes me wonder, what news sources can you actually rely on for making money related decisions like this? Because in many ways we are all just going by educated guesses many times where you don’t really know what will happen until it happens.
It’s almost like trying to read up on what it is truly like in the US right now. For example, the only real news I am seeing are all these talks about people going to the streets and rioting. By that note I would assume the mood is very bad. Then again, I can’t really find much on how it is in every place overall. So like there if I had to make a decision to like simply visit would you actually just rely on these top news stories to give you the complete picture to make a decision?
Nowadays whenever I try to find news about trends and happenings to make a decision about spending money or say investing I tend to try and find places where you can just see regular people talking about issues. Online wise this is often as simple as visiting things like message boards of enthusiast and such. I personally find it often gives a better indicator on what is more likely to happen in the future in terms of people embracing or hating something.
Then afterwards you can cross reference that with the bigger media sources and from there you can make a decision. It just seems way too uncertain to rely on one source of information nowadays. That chart speaks like a thousand words too. What an interesting time to live in.
