I’ve just heard people say it. Not money smart, I assume. Someone here told me to let it ride so I will.

If it helps make you feel better, you can see how well the s&p has recovered since 2008
The only way you don’t recover, is getting out when things dip and trying to get back in again when they are high. Buy low, sell high. Assuming your target date fund is the right date for when you plan to retire (4 years I think you said), your investment risks should be quite conservative and all this is white noise for you.

I was more stock heavy than bond. I checked recently and seem to be in 1/2 bonds now and large cap funds vs a lot of small cap. I was willing to take the risk to grow. I don’t have to retire early, but want to, working part time if necessary. Thank you.

50% bond is very conservative.
Also, I didn’t mean to make it seem like you shouldn’t call your broker, that was more of a joke around the knee jerk reaction. If it will make you comfortable, please call him. He will most likely tell you the same thing.
My aim was more to just get you off the ledge. The number of shares you own has not changed and your cost basis has not changed. It’s not fun looking at paper valuations when they go down, but ultimately you’re fine.

I was burned yday on a -6% swing. Going from -6% to +8% in 2 days doesn’t really do it for me

Or you are a bitch and the market was always going to go up.
It was 19 at the end of 2016, it's at 40 right now.

Yeah it's not fun looking at paper valuations when the "portfolio value" goes down.
Thank you for the " keep my chin up" outlook.
