[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh look, the “cease fire” has already fallen apart, the strait is closer, bombs are still falling … I don’t think we’re out of the woods yet. Glad I’m chilling in G Fund for a bit. [/quote]

I wish I’d gone to G when the war started. At this point I’m not sure it makes sense to jump. [/quote]

Op here. Yeah I’m feeling fine about still being in G. Oh no I moved from I fund last month when values were super high and parked all that profit in G. And I missed one day of potential gains yesterday! Only for those gains to be erased again today! basically as I have been saying, and as shown by today’s jobless claims we are very shaky economically. We are going to have stagflation soon. This is why I am in G until stocks have fallen in value enough to jump back to I fund and buy them at a discount.[/quote]

Keep justifying it.  You make more and more sense every day.  Gains were “erased today” - what are you even referring to?

Making massive moves to your retirement accounts based on 5% market swings is insanity and not a sustainable strategy.  [/quote]

He’s not making massive moves based on 5% swings … he’s making massive moves based on massive geopolitical train wrecks that are happening right before our eyes [/quote]

Well the market is not reacting all that negatively to these events.

How many massive unprecedented events have occurred over the last 30 years?  Ever look at a chart of the S&P 500 over that time?

[b]Have fun losing over the long term due to extremely risky financial behavior.  You’re basically gambling. [/b][/quote]

It’s not gambling to make investment decisions based on major geopolitical upheavals. This is a Suez Canal moment for the American Empire; making investment decisions based on informed analysis is what smart people do with their money.

I’m not the OP and it took me longer to realize that dumping stocks for G fund was a smart move right now, but I’m glad I did it when I did. I see rough times ahead for stocks. If I’m wrong, so be it. But make no mistake — deciding to stay invested in stocks is a market decision just the same as deciding to take your gains and move to cash for a while. [/quote]

No - you are gambling.  We are not.

We are doing the same thing every month regardless of market conditions.   Not selling and then dollar cost averaging / investing as funds are available. It's systematic and ignores outside noise because none of us have any idea how the market will perform and all of recorded history says the long range expected performance is up and at a healthy clip over a long time frame. You know nothing and I know nothing.   You are the one gambling by making these moves.[/quote]
