Rebalancing is something that I did and still do.
As long as interest rates are low and there is money flooding the market, stocks rise. That has nothing to do with the economy.
No, I meant what would you have done differently versus Trump, assuming you were POTUS?

Central Bank / government currency and interest rate manipulation are pushing asset prices such as stocks and housing up but it's impossible to divorce markets from the economy. They are part of the whole albeit no longer working as they have in the past.
