Nothing.
I shorted Tesla when Musk went crazy, sold a few stocks that were holding back my portfolio and have since done nothing, because I do not trust the Trump administration and do not want to bet on anything in the volatile climate it has created. I am heavily invested in high tech, and that won't change, because I consider those very long term holdings. But there's a little pile of cash that is sitting there, doing nothing, that I will not shovel back into the locomotive. I prefer losing a little due to inflation, rather than see it all evaporate on the wrong stocks... and I'm not about to buy oil and gas companies. I have a modicum of ethics. |

I'm so sorry, PP. My friend with lung cancer has her med expenses reduced by some kind of program at Astra-Zeneca. Otherwise they'd be 14K. |
| I wasn't lucky enough to be around here in 2008 & 2020, but these 1% market moves are enough to cause panic? |
No. No one's panicking, but the stock market is its own beast, and will do things that normal people don't think about. The stock market, in case you didn't know, is mostly powered by computer algorithms that exacerbate human buyer and seller decisions. |
| not a thing. |
