I believe chaos just starting. I am only long WMT as hedge. I have already sold my long positions and adding to my short positions on ADI, CAT, MMM, HD, ..... You name it.
Wait for pull back in Sunaco, SUN, dividend paying over 10%, I think the lows are in energies. Besides dow 30 and fifteen other stocks/ETFs, I check for Commodities that are trading very low of past 9 years, then look for stocks that have something to do with that Commodity and wait for bottoms in the stocks. Buy the stock/hedge that also pay dividends. Real Estate has usually been good for me as dividends have paid well. Dividend stocks, usually going for longer duration. Boring is good.
I do not be fooled by dividend paying stocks. They are good in bull market or neutral ones. If market drops, you will end up holding a stock with a 3% dividend which has dropped 15% in value.
I agree with you that US-China trade war has not started yet under Trump but it will but I do not know its relevance with Wallmart. If you say WMT sells Chinese stuff, that is true for all US retailers. Check out Best Buy, ..... WMT is will survive in a recession that is going to happen under Trump admin by his chaotic decisions.
