re: Second Worst S&P drop day in 10 years

Because it’s dropping. At least I can keep what I have? All I’ve heard these past years is “Ive never recovered from 2008” (or whatever year it was) and I don’t want to experience that.

That's a terrible reason to get out.

Where do you think it is going to go if you just sit tight? If you are close to retirement, how agressive is your portfolio anyways? Is it your assumption that the market will be lower in 4 years than it is right now?

From who? The market has recovered quite wonderfully from 2008. Unless, they were a nervous nelly and got out and then got back in after it recovered.

The S&P was up big several years in a row after 2008 if you didn't panic sell or didn't own individual stocks of companies that went bankrupt. I owned one

A I’ll call Fidelity next week. I’m in a target date set up where they are supposed to it around as needed.

Buy more when low and reap benefits when it goes back up and it will go back up.

The last two days I've heard nothing but sell, sell, sell. It's an orgy on the floor of NYSE. Now a radio broadcast out of Bendigo, Australia is talking about a GLOBAL downturn thanks to Trump's tariffs and the resulting worldwide reaction to them.

Do you make a habit of listening to idiots?

Bookmarked. Check back next Friday at about this time and we'll see the picture a lot more clearly. Monsieur Trump has bit off more than he can chew, and why? Markets and the general economy were going along swimmingly prior to all this tariff curfuffle.

LOL. Sure, unless you die everyone who should be investigating. Also, notice how every major tweet/comment/press conference is normally outside market hours? Insiders have been positioned for months

Right. That's economics.

How about don’t call them. If you’re in a target date fund, just hold your fricking water
The only way you lose money is if you sell. Your asset right now is shares. It’s not the money. You’re concerned about losses. You have no losses until you sell. You don’t sell on dips, you buy.

I’m sorry you surround yourself with people who give terrible information.
What’s your cost basis right now? Is it above or below the current market level?

Maybe high yield savings accounts may be more your speed?

I enjoyed the last two days - we've been well overdue for a correction.
People that entered the market after 2009 think double digit returns with no down years is the norm. Time to learn.
Been sitting on cash since January dropped it into SWPPX at $78.15 we'll see how it goes.

Ok. It’s just stressful. I recently increased my withholding percentage and increasing again on May 1. Maybe I should push up May to get in while low. Thanks for your encouragement.

Let’s do check in periodically. But fairness would dictate we go longer than a week, correct? I’ll bump periodically for you.

Just remember, your goal is long term. Getting in and out when things get choppy is the opposite of your strategy.
The amount of shares you currently have, have not changed. It sucks seeing the projected $ value, but what you are accumulating are shares. Keep letting them accumulate. Unless you started investing a few weeks ago, I can guarantee your account is still a net positive. Thinking it lost money because you’re comparing it to some arbitrary recent time is a silly thing to do.

welcomed buying spree
Why should anyone buy worthless stocks? What sectors other than AI or healthcare related stocks have any upside whatsoever?
This forecasted "buying spree" reminds me of a time back in the early 1980's when the economy sucked, inflation was out of control, and interest rates were shockingly high. People were crafting QUITCLAIM deeds on their homes, and investing in "penny stocks" was all the rage!
