Alot of people in index. Most arent shrewd daily traders.
What are the stay invested folks thoughts on 2.5 years of nothing.

I have had a bunch of cash for years. Never kicked myself. Really need to come up with a plan for when to jump in.

In retrospect, this will be a massive dip. Put that cash to work. Nibble nibble nibble day after day on those high div blue chip stocks that you love.

I know you are an alter, but I'll bite.
What would you have people do that aren't day traders? The stock market moves and they have to move with it. History states that the market will continue to go up over time. Not much else to do but wait. Sucks for people that are in retirement or about to retire, but it is better than nothing.

I have 7 years and a bit over 9 months before retirement.
I'm good.
Had this been the last year of my work life, I would have moved it into our G Fund (which never loses value).
(Though if anyone can recommend good cheap brands of cat food to eat...)

Why do you think it’s funny to make fun of misfortune?

That fricker thinks the "market" is the corner market where he buys his forty's...

My point exactly. Take my sister. 59. 30 grand ira. sp500 index. She could have moved to money market but did not. I called her last week to say at least learn how to exhange your fund to cash. she did not and I wonder if the average 401k or ira owner has even that amount of technical expertise. Just want people to be informed. the stay in and keep buying mentality was just wrong imo.

If this is true, she sucks at life anyway... You should have taken better care of your sister...

Trying to time the market is wrong too.

Grow up. 2.5 years is nothing, that's short-term from an investment standpoint. Your view should be from a 10-30 year window.
Right now is one of the biggest opportunities you'll have for significant gains for a decade.
You don't have to be a day trader, you just need to not be a fool. Ride out the dips and buy during significant drop (like now).

People that close to retirement should have the bulk of their investments in fixed asset or highly liquid accounts anyway.

This is a stupid question. The answer is in the question.

I just looked at my 401k, and took a 23% hit so far this year. But..... with the prices so low, my continued reinvestment should mean more shares, and when the market goes back up to 29k range, i will have a huge gain overall this year.
Panic right now, is only good for buying. Because this virus is short term, it is minor, and it is being driven by the media. It's absolutely ridiculous the NBA cancelled its season because 1 guy got, what is the equivalent of the flu. Does anyone think he, or the Hanks' are in mortal danger? No. It's a new virus. And as one victim describes it, it is fever for a few days. That is it. It's essentially what my wife calls man-flu.

Yep, it's a crisis situation. We'll have to make sure Trump gets re-elected during this trying time that he had no hand in creating.
Can't change horses in midstream. Thanks for making that clear.

I got about 6.5% on dividends per year across a couple funds
So not for nothing at all

This is correct. Market timers are for the most part slack jawed neanderthals who underperform the market.
I should know - I was one in my 20s.
