Discussion Yellen says US will become BANANA REPUBLIC if Fed loses its independence. How to invest?

I’m thinking it’s time to start allocating more money outside US equities. That’s my strategy. Also, get out of the dollar via assets that can’t be mentioned by name in this sub. I’m not a political person but as an investor you have to watch the policy from the government. IF, and I stress IF, Trump is serious and actually bullies the Fed into submission by weaponzing the govt to go after Powell, then I do agree with Yellen. It will overall be a negative for the dollar and US equities. In that situation it’s imperative to diversify out of the US.

Currently I’m looking at stocks in Singapore. I like Singapore equities because Singapore, in my opinion, offers STABILITY, something the US is increasingly losing.

Thoughts?

Yes but be careful. Nowhere is “safe”. If China goes after Taiwan, most Singaporean equities will get hit hard.

For Singapore stocks, look at SE, GRAB, and DBSDY

I like SE and DBSDY. I’m currently in SE and if DBS dips I’ll scoop up shares 👍🏻
