How low of a stock market will still be acceptable to yall?
Seems like everyone here is fine with this, when if the stock market went down a few hundred points a year ago, we'd hear "Biden's economy ".
My 401k, etc has fallen so much, I'm setting myself up to require mydelf to put off retirement at least 5 more years

China made a statement saying they will reciprocate against any nation that makes a deal with the US that involves lowering their imports from China. It pretty much is the checkmate on any grand compact with the major global economies and the United States happening.
Additionally, holders of US debt (bonds) are selling them off and the USD's value is tanking.

Get the feeling that a good bit of this community are one or more of the following:
1. Children
2. Broke
3. Retards

Surely you are not stupid enough to base you opinion on a couple of months rather than however many decades it has produced steady growth.

You should probably liquidate all you can now before losing even more value. You can always reinvest at the lower prices sure to come.

You totally missed the part of the hippie's post I was referring to.
Here's a clue: Read the part of my post that's between the two long horizontal lines.

Some of us don't freak out about the short term effects on our 401K. If I were close to retirement, I might be more concerned. This is also good reason to have two portfolios, one for a bear market and the other for a bull market.

MOST of the people with anti-Trump posts on this board regarding the market should obviously not be in the market at all. If you're depending on the stock market for part of your current income or you are close to retirement you should be in safer investments.

How is this setting you back 5 years? The S&P is still up 2.8% over the last year.
Because I think a lot of people especially newcomers to the market had the naive thought that their investments were going to gain 20% each and every year like the S&P did the last two calendar years.

I think people can be honest and say the dow going down 1000 points 4 times since the tariff announcement when its only gone down 1000 points 11 times in history (now) is definitely concerning
While also saying that having some patience with the situation and seeing how it plays out long term is needed

It did not do that. Show your work.

Everybody is pulling their stuff out of the stock market and putting it into bonds which is exactly what we want to happen to drive down interest rates

How poorly allocated was your portfolio that this has had that much of an impact, while you are this close to retirement? Good lord.

Sure it did. S&P 500 was up over 20% in 2023 and 2024.
