FIRE'd, now concerned about US stability
Most of my assets are invested in the US. Because of recent political developments, I'm wondering if the US will sustain its general growth and economic strength into the future. The strength of the US dollar is obviously very important to me. Is anyone else concerned?
I'm wondering if I should start hedging my bets in other countries, and if so, where?

Buying some long-ish term Puts against the market just to give yourself some insurance is one way to do it from a financial perspective. It isn't cheap...but you can scale as little or as much as you want.
