How much did you lose today?

[Anonymous]

It goes up and down $100k every month. I'm looking to buy back lower inside of Roth IRA. I also have $60k cash outside, but nothing is low enough yet. I'll buy something in December.
I file HH and take several credits, which would disappear if I sold too much.

Around $227k.

I guess I should sell it all now and put it into to gold to prevent any further losses. /s

This, you need to stop thinking the current value of your investments. It's just current market value and it will fluctuate. You didn't lose anything. Even if you sold today, you didn't lose anything unless you bought yesterday.

I look at 5 yr yields, that's my guide. I'm doing awesome.

OP here. I'm not fretting I'm just bored and curious. I never sell. But I do look every day.

Am sure this thread is going to age well.

One of the good things to happen to me in the last few years was to stop caring about day to day changes. My net worth is much higher today than it was 2-3 years ago. And that is what matters.

Market is reacting to the news that big AI companies and Space X won’t automatically be given preferential entry into SandP 500 and all the automatic index buyers there. Also a strong labor market report might mean the Fed could raise interest rates.

Not a big deal. Companies are still making money hand over fist.

My work plans are never updated daily, so maybe it will show the drop in balance in a couple of days, by then the market will have changed.

My personal brokerage is live balance of course.

Nothing. Used some spare cash to buy the dip. Drop was based on the good news that there won’t be preferential treatment into indexes for upcoming IPOs.

Funny how counterintuitive the market can be sometimes. People will now think about it over the weekend and say no big deal and everything will start to move back up.

Oh please. Unless you weren't invested in anything until yesterday you lost something.

It's only a loss if you sell at a loss. You still hold the stock. It's just imaginary money until you actually sell it.

I don’t look. The market fluctuates and isn’t my only solid investment. Advisor suggests and I agree not looking at this as if it’s a casino.
