US stock market: Dow Jones, Nasdaq, and S&P 500 to become volatile under Donald Trump?

Nobody knows what will send the stock market into a tailspin or when that moment may be coming. This is the inherent risk that comes with investing. But some investors are concerned that President-elect Donald Trump's policy agenda -- stiff tariffs, deep federal spending cuts, mass deportations of immigrants -- could push the market over the edge, inflicting real damage to the investment portfolios they worked so hard to build, NYT News Service reported.

The president-elect does pay close attention to the stock market and seems to view its performance as a reflection of his own. Some experts have said they expect the market's influence to act as a check on Trump's policy decisions, according to NYT News Service.

But when there is uncertainty, we tend to focus on what we can control, and our exposure to the stock market is one of those things. Now is as good a time as any to ensure your portfolio is well positioned to weather any market conditions, regardless of who is occupying the White House.


But it may also help to consider what happened to investors when they did act on their fears during periods of market volatility.
