I don't think Trump cares about technological "transfers" and "piracy". All he cares is how much money he  can makes from a deal and how good is he a business man to the American public.
China export majority of their stuff to US. By taxing China items,  it's making China products more expensive. Hence US companies will look elsewhere. When they do it,  factory output decreases. When factory output decreases, business drops. Business drops, people start losing jobs. When people start losing job,  they cannot pay back loans.

China govt is cutting taxes for local companies in order try to make their people spend. If economy is good,  you don't need to that.

If is not affecting China,  they won't bother offering to make trade deficit zero. They will just ignore US.

Is it though ? It sort of rings true.. You could say Trump isn't really presidential throughout his years running for office and in office..

when the giants falls....most will falls with it...
one can run but cannot hide.
thus get out of EQ investing if one deemed the mkts will cotinue to falls.

So.. shall we pull out? Ady make some losses.

"We?"....
Depends on many variables.....
One of the more importants......how do one sees the sentiments trends to be after the 2018 mkts trends....the amount of money invested in relation to one net worth, ...the need to use the money in the next few months, etc

The wife and I..

Too much uncertainty, tempted to just withdraw from China & Asia Ex Japan and put into bond fund.. Can still stomach the current level of loss..

Someone help enlighten me , sudden movement in Libra Asnita should be because of distribution ?

So.. shall we pull out? Ady make some losses.

Depends on your view on the current and future possibilities of outcome
Basically, investment is jz a form of gamble, as in you does not know the future but only predict based on information you obtained

Personally I'm still DCA..

Tempted to pull out Half and rebuild port with DCA with the balance withdrawn.

Hmm.. my portfolio was double digit negative two week back, now single digits..
Most likely due to I'm keep dca and Trump being silent..

And if the truce/lift trade war, probably will rise for like a week or two.. imo

If u pull out and went in again, at same time frame, why would you do that?

Or ixit something wrong with your holding allocation?

Allocation.. A lot in equities.. around 90%.. Mine is single digits now too. Last month double digit..

There's some speculation 2019/2020 crisis will happen, as in like 2008..
Jux something I tot u might wanted to know..
Mine 95% equity.. lol

Ya lo.... so I'm sitting over here thinking if a crash similar to 08 happening will we sh*t our pants or not. 

Now single negative can be good chance to pull out some and go in again if anything happens. If pull out what to buy for 5-6%?

Of course he does, in fact I think this is the main issue of the tension between US and China now. I have said it before, if you only read news portal from US - that's all you will get. Do not underestimate Uncle Xi and his team.

Personally holding off till 1st of March to observe first.

The wife and I..

Too much uncertainty, tempted to just withdraw from China & Asia Ex Japan and put into bond fund.. Can still stomach the current level of loss..

Take out if you feel uncomfortable.. however if you and your wife still earning can consider rebalance by selling small amount or with more cash (if you are not in a rush to use said money)

I don't think I will, im already preparing bullet for that
Meanwhile, I'm DCA with my salary..

Actually, imo do whatever tat u will SLP soundly at nite.. if these market fluctuations worries u so much, might just be become to stop and straight put in fd
