I believe that with the election of Donald Trump as President, and the Republican sweep of the Senate, the House of Representatives and the Supreme Court, we are looking at nothing less than a New World Order.

The trading and investment implications of this are nothing less than momentous.

The bottom line is that a radical realignment of your portfolio is urgently required.

You can sum it up as this:

OUT WITH THE NEW ECONOMY AND IN WITH THE OLD ECONOMY.

This is not a day trade, a week trade, or even a month trade. It is a major new trend that could last for the rest of the decade.

So for that reason, I am taking profits in my position in the Facebook (FB) November, 2016 $114-$117 in-the-money vertical bull call spread at $2.82.

It was my original plan to hold this position seven more trading days to the November 18th expiration and run it up to its maximum potential value of $3.00.

But, given the violence of the moves in financial assets these days, I am bailing out right here, right now.

In any case, earning a welcome 9.72% profit in only two trading days is better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. No one ever got fired for taking a profit.

Big tech is about to get slammed, and I don?t want to be anywhere near it when that happens.

This leaves me coming out of the ?Amerexit? overnight flash crash and subsequent melt up with my trading performance at another new all time high. We are now annualizing well over 37% a year.
