How heavily are you still investing in the stock market?

Been 15 straight months of losses. Are you pulling back and investing elsewhere? Or do you still subscribe to "but I am buying more stock at a lower price"?

I went to money market on about 1/3 and letting the rest ride.

I haven't changed a thing in years. 10% into my 401-K in two funds that are somewhat aggressive.
Company stock through our program.
A little into a money market.
I guess 90% is in the "market".
Other stuff that we've had for years will not change. I'm under 50 if it matters.

Never been a better time to invest in the market. The feeling expressed in the OP makes it the perfect time for a rally.

I don't think anyone here is "freaking the frick out". But you have to be honest with yourself at some point and do what is best for your situation.

I’m buying the fear personally

I imagine it's folks near retirement or in retirement who have seen up to a 25% drawdown in their portfolios.

Not very heavily. I took about 10% of my cash and put it into the market 4 years ago and have been very unimpressed. Was up 20% at one point but since Biden took over I am down to barely above my initial investment… I have very little faith in the markets at the moment and always looked at them as gambling to be honest.

Not pulling anything out.but when putting things in I've diversified a little more with purchasing of short term bonds until the market seems to be turning around. Still putting money into the stock market/index funds as usual.

I'm probably at 80% equities, 7% bonds, and 13% cash (mostly emergency fund and cash in trading account waiting on opportunities). This is inclusive of ALL my accounts where I have any $$ (ex. 401K, various other IRA's, taxable trading accounts, high yield savings account, checking account).
ETA: I'm 25+ years from retirement.

The market used to be like horse racing where if you knew your shite you could win but you’d probably lose
Now it’s like scratch off tickets where it becomes worthless as soon as you buy

My 401k is still all heavy in indexes.
I have stocks and short duration bonds and cash (edit to correct: 20%) in my non-retirement portfolio.

I have had way more gains in the value of my timberland and commercial rental property than the market and at least those are tangible things that if the market tanks I still have something useful. Guess I have seen too many people not able to retire after the 2008 crash and looks like the next generation of retirees may face something similar. The market has its place as a way to build wealth but it’s not guaranteed in any way. If I had tons of extra money to throw around sure but I am not gambling my inheritance that I cannot replace should the market tank.

15 months is too small of a sample size for me to pull money out. S&P was 181 39 years ago. It’s 3900 now. I am up about 55% YTD (thanks in large NVDA and META) in investment account. I have no illusions that will continue at the same rate either, but pulling out in December would have resulted in a miss. It ebbs and flows. I am not sure where else I would put money with an expectation of making an average of 7-9% per year for the next 30 years in passive income. Maybe RE, but I am not sure that is completely passive.

I'm staying the course and just telling myself I have years for my money to make more money. I was just getting started in 2008 and that scared the shite out of me which led to me delaying my market participation. In hindsight that was a mistake that I'm not going to repeat.
