Frankly after Biden was elected people closer to retirement should have completely divested

True but stocks and bonds have been obliterated. Market was way overheated though so somewhat expected esp with Pampers in Chief purposely destroying the main input into our economy

It’s hard to believe that people didn’t see this coming.

I am buying more share today then I was a few months ago. I’m over 15 years from retirement so likely will correct by then.

You should have posted a warning for us dumb asses back in November. Since I started reading the TD Money board in 2008 not a single person that has predicted a market crash has been correct, and for those that supposedly got it right they only seem to post about it after it happened.


No one should have needed to tell you to get out, look at the signals that were blaring. I know nothing about charts, SPY or any of that crap, but even I could tell what was coming.

Those downvoting have no clue how right you are. Probably poor guidance, lack of understanding, or most likely both.

How is someone supposed to draw from their portfolio coupled with SS/pension/etc. to create a retirement income in an inflationary world? Majority of their portfolio in properly diversified equities. End of story

I'm 4 years from retirement. Was planning on going at 60. May put it off until 62. We just have 1 car note but I was planning to do a lot during retirement. I don't want to sit at home and watch tv

In December, the signs (war, inflation, interest rates, labor and supply shortages, etc) were screaming at us to get out of the market. Those who didn't listen are either ignorant or greedy.
There is no reason someone 20+ years from retirement should pull out of the market. They should continue funding their retirement accounts every month and think of it as getting a discount on the funds while the market is in the shitter.

Your 401K is getting destroyed If they were only a year from retirement. They probably weren't holding 100% stocks in their portfolio


Correct. They were probably heavy in bonds which have performed just as bad or worse than stocks lately.

I've raised my contribution to the max I can afford (Still have to contend with inflation on food and gas after all)

When market capitulation hits, it will be a good time to be a long way from retirement still. I'm looking at it like more money for later

It really is not, it got over inflated the last 2 years..down another 15% and it will be fair value..when you give everyone extra money for a while it inflates everything..inflation?? The money is about to be leaving in a huge hurry..look at credit card debt and net wealth...buy again in around a year
