[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tuesday at 8pm is either going to be the end of the war or the beginning of the depression. That is no exaggeration.

If Iran doesn't surrender, they will destroy the refineries of Qatar. Trump has made it clear they won't get a second chance to strike back. 40% of the world's raw materials and energy, including fertilizer gone.

In such a situation sitting in anything but cash seems like idiocy.[/quote]

Op here. Yep. Hence why I started this thread. I left equities a month ago knowing this was no ordinary time. I got out of I fund and into G fund. If I was wrong oh nooo I miss a month of stock gains and most likely jump back in to I fund. If I am right about worldwide oil issues and extended turmoil and scary sht then stocks will most likely tumble super hard and that’s what I was scared of. I guess we will see tomorrow what commander in chief chooses for the world.

Jumped to G fund today. Whatever happens happens. If I lose a little I still have plenty of time until retirement.  [/quote]

WOW! Your timing couldn’t have been worse…missing a +2.5% day will permanently stunt your portfolio.  And now you have to sweat when to get back into equities.

And for the millionth time: pick an asset allocation that will let you sleep well at night, invest dutifully every paycheck, and don’t futz with it. This practically guarantees a 100% chance of success over 20+ years of consistent investing. Stand there, don’t do anything! This too shall pass.

Wild stuff.   I wonder if they immediately got back in or are letting it ride?  Get back in and you lock in an unnecessary 2.5% loss that amounts to something farily sizeable over the long haul.   But if you don't, you risk the problem getting worse.   Glad I never make rash financial decisions and ever have to worry about this stuff since I don't sell...[/quote]

I’m actually glad I moved to G. That’s great the market moved up today. However, nothing is certain still. We are not out of the woods. I doubt this green will hold. I’m good and will jump back in when the time is right.[/quote]
