How heavily are you still investing in the stock market?
Whenever I have free money I invest. Up or down does not matter to me

I'm at minimum 25 years from retirement, but likely 30+, so I'm 100% in equities and have invested additional money the past week.

I rearrange some stuff every year but I haven’t pulled any cash out in the last year. I’ve bought more of what I already own in the last 12 months. Bought more Apple when it hit $125 or so. Bought more KEY the last two weeks.

Too much risk to be fully invested in the market. We have a geopolitical and financial crisis converging at the same time. We have countries moving away from the dollar. To me the risk outweigh the reward.

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
I was relatively young in terms of investments during this time as well. I bought as much as I could during the three or four years there. Stocks and real estate. It was the buying opportunity of a lifetime for me. Microsoft at $36 per share is one that I remember clearly.

Fortune always rewards the meek.
Some of your concerns are greatly exaggerated by cable news TV. In 2009 when I wanted to buy a house in South Florida people told me I was nuts because Obama just got into office and the world was going to hell. Everyone said to stay in cash until there was a new president. The fear was palpable back then. Good times.

Lol, 2008 until the pandemic the FED kept interest rates near zero which allowed you and I to make money almost anywhere. We needed a recession back then which would have helped today. Bank failures, yes they even bailed out the shadow banking system in 2020, is hardly an exaggeration. Btw, if the fake news was honest, we’d know how underwater the banking system truly is.

I'm mostly invested, but keeping about 20% dry powder looking for tasty bits.

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.
I know many people in Florida and Georgia that were wiped out because of 07/08 real estate bubble and crash - some of those people will work until they are dead - lost every penny.

Yeah it's sad to know that happens to some people. I also know people who purchased real estate(vacation and commercial) during that time as well as others who dumped a bunch of money into stocks around then and they are doing very well.

I imagine it's folks near retirement or in retirement who have seen up to a 25% drawdown in their portfolios.
Those folks did not have their asset allocation set correctly.

The rate of return that matters most is the long-term one.

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 wonder how it’s best for your situation to buy consistently as it falls for 15 months and THEN decide it’s time to stop?
Also, depending on your definition of the “market”, the S&P 500 is higher today than it was 10 months ago.

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.
This is very hyperbolic and emotional. Anyone that uses the word “gambling” with respect to US equities on the whole has basically zero understanding of the subject.
