Hi folks. I'm not much of a poster on this particular forum, but I've just spent a highly pleasurable time reading your posts and advice.
So I did amazingly well this year (for a neurologist). This was not entirely unexpected. We have have maxed out our retirement for the year. We're left with a six figure sum that's currently in the bank. I have about 200K of mortgage debt.
So that's my problem. I don't know what to do with a windfall. With the insanity of Trump and markets the way they are, I'm very unsure I want to put that money into any stock market fund. I'm comfortable with the 401 stuff in there, but this feels more like 'real money' (if you know what I mean and I realize it is silly).
Any comments or recommendations now that markets are high and Trump is a risk. If he puts punitive tariffs in place, then emerging markets, the developed and developing world and the US will be adversely affected. I'm very much considering buying noncommercial real estate. Thoughts?
