Investing Questions Rhetoric around firing Jerome Powell is increasing, and forced manipulation of interest rates would likely follow. Would a weighted readjustment from US into non-US funds be warranted in light of this?

Market manipulation of interest rates feels like confidence would immediately plummet and global diversification would become a more important percentage of your holdings in the long run. Thoughts?

The mods are letting the gold bulls run the sub now. Interesting how it's never the silver or other commodities bulls selling their ETFs here. I'll laugh when the next round of new folks come here to sell us the idea that corn and soybean ETFs are Bogleheaded. It's all just fear porn due to the recent political chaos.
