[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Index funds are not safe. They can be just as volatile as any other investment. I would broaden how you think about risk and diversification. For example, does your portfolio include real estate, business income, cash (high yield savings/money market) in addition to stocks, and are your stocks from different sectors? I think there’s a lot more to it than just investing in an index fund. How fast we forget 2022 and the fact that the s&p took huge losses just like everything else.[/quote] Ridiculous. The "huge losses" in 2022 were a temporary dip. that lost only 1 year of gains and quickly recovered. [/quote] That was true of pretty much everyone else too, so my point is there’s nothing special or safer about index funds. Top individual stocks followed the same pattern (dropped in 2022 and recovered in 2023). [/quote]
