Now that we are nearing a 20% recovery, anyone else in the same boat?

You are not cut out for the market if you panic sold. Stay out of it would be your best advice.

Lol your money isn’t making a dent in the stock prices, and when you eventually buy back in the S&P will be above 10000. Dumbest post I’ve seen in a while.

So you’re content losing money to inflation? The best time to get in the market is always right now.

It’s earning 4%+. I’m good. I bought in 2008, but I’m watching and waiting.

Yeah there are way too many millenials and GenZ who were raised on ZIRP that think it only “number go up”.

We are in a different world with inflation, and no longer the great moderation forever lowering interest rates.

I don’t know which way it will go, but we definitely live in a world with more risk and less tools for the Fed or govt to stabilize.

You’re not wrong, yet is is ALSO stupid to sell during a panicky downturn. A long term strategy with a more balanced portfolio for the long term isn’t a terrible idea. I wish there were some way to pull money out for a RE purchase with less of a penalty.

Sorry, but all advice from experts is not to sell at such moments.

So, I did not.

Remember, don’t park money you need in the near term in the stock market.

I bought cruiseline stocks. If the world ended, money wouldn't be useful. It's up 300%.

Those won’t fare too well when Kennedy’s epidemics get going.

I am okay with the sell, have to bank it somehow.
I continue to buy in order to average down so it's just investing, hard to time the market, same as housing!l market.

Buy when the market dips

Park and hold in an index fund

[Anonymous]

I didn’t sell in 2008, I didn’t sell during Covid, and I didn’t sell over the tariffs. The post who said “park it in the S&P 500 and forget it” is spot on.

This says it all, doesn’t it?

Poorly phrased initial post, but the question is what should our strategy be with the cash -- continue to hold the cash position with an anticipated market downturn later this year or DCA into the market strating now?

I would wait now at least until the quarterly reports come out in mid July to see what happens there. But if the market takes a significant dip at any point between now and then, I think you should put in in incremental amounts.

I bought NVDA, Netflix and Spotify in 2018 and sold at par in 2022. If I had help, I would have about $2M more and another $300K in crypto, all on an investment of about $100K. Cry me a river.

Buying and selling 20% of my stocks all the time inside two Roths. I need volatility.
Made 100% last year. I'm at 70% this year already.
