What are the most ideal stocks to add to my portfolio to "cash in" on the downgrade end of year?

 

I have been filling up on Dbx to a point where I now have a ridiculous amount of money in those ETFs that I am actually feeling uncomfortable and have to constantly remind myself that I do not own 2 shares I own 2 ETFs consisting of 100's of shares thus I am diversified.

Do you think we will be downgraded? Astoria and DBX WD have been pulling my portfolio to red territory.[LOUDLY CRYING FACE][LOUDLY CRYING FACE]
