I sold everything but energy In February. I’m waiting for some positive news to get back in.

Sadly this is not even keeping up with inflation.



Same here. We need a true capitulation before I will get back in. VIX north of 50 would do it for me.

I have the same dollar value now as I did on 1/19/21. YTD on retirement accounts are -17.78%.

My two 529 accounts are -12.33% YTD and worth less than their contributions...

I know people will say this is good for buying, but not sure who has the extra cash flow to increase their investment contributions.

This is probably the worst advice on the entire internet.

Buy low when things are cheap.

I wouldn't say the worst. He is expecting the market to continue to drop as long as Biden is in office (another 2+ years), so if you are saving for a major expense int he next 2-3 years and expect the money to lose value why would you invest?

I know you’re kidding, but these numbers are often influenced by the timing of contributions.

Money you need in 2-3 years should never be in stocks, unless you have an astronomical risk tolerance.
