when did you think it was clear?  after election day? Before, after the riot at the Capital, or after the inauguration?

I thought it was clear when the Electoral College met, really before that.  I'd say around late November or so, I realized Biden would be the next President.

That's almost as touching as "Old Yeller" you throw your darts but now the targets on your unscrupulous sad sacks and this is som how unjust - guess it depends on whose ox is getting gored
I have no affiliation with Pelosi.  I don't know much about her.  Why would I, I don't live in CA.  I'm certain she's not a demon as I'm certain that she's no cleaner than the other people with her in Congress.

She just has the target on her.  Like AOC does.  Another person I don't know much about, because I don't live in NYC.  

But it's funny to cast the moderate Biden as a radical, as the righty "commentator entertainment" channels do.  Imagine if an actual lefty radical had been elected!  The Capitol would probably have been burned to the ground, huh?

I need one of you to tell me where to put some small monthly amount for the next 17 years.
Half safe, half risky.
Or all of it in a mostly-safe place.

If I had 17 years, and know I wouldn't need the funds barring a major calamity, I'd be pretty adventurous with the money, XLK is a decent place for half of it anyway.

I might dial back some on the other half, but I'd probably split it between a health care ETF and a dividend ETF, I broker with Schwab, so I'd use theirs, but any of the others should be fine too.

I would avoid the funds that reinvest your monies according to your retirement age, I think they are gimmmicks.  BUT, I would change the above as that 17 years became 5 years.

Rebalancing my portfolio is where most of my energy goes.  I was lucky enough to buy quite a bit of Apple a while back  and the runup made it into too large a percentage, so I was unlucky enough to sell part of it, and now it has run up again.  Anything I might need in 5-7 years is liquid.

As for how liberal Biden is, or Harris might be, it doesn't matter, much, as the Senate is where legislation will be decided.

That is a lovely narrative.

Agreed.  Is there a worse person on the planet than the turtle from Kentucky?

I don't know what any of this means.  And remember, I said a small, monthly amount.  Small.
