Im so tempted to short one of these companies, but with my luck it'd be the one that Trump decides to save for a buddy, and I end up poorer anyway.
I think it was Warren Buffett who said "the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent" or words to that effect.
That was actually said by some guy named Gary.
A very simple strategy is buying less US assets and more international assets than you would hold if the US stock market was not weighted so heavily towards Friend Computer. If 60% of my stocks were in the US in 2015, I might hold 30% today (this is not financial advice).
Contra Doctorow there are lots of strategies someone can chose if they think the US stock market is likely to collapse in the next three years. Eg. there are people in the USA who bought some chickens and seeds last winter, or who started new jobs or new education outside the USA. Deciding to act is the hardest.
