So, with the down markets with the coronavirus epidemic, I checked my losses since Jan. 1st 2020 till today Feb. 29, 2020 (YTD). I'm down 5.44% which in reality if you had one hundred bucks you lost $5.44¢ or still have $94.56¢ left after a ~4100 point hit from the highest close of the DJIA to the lowest for the year of 2020.

That is why people shouldn't over react to what is happening in the markets, just need to stay calm and go fishing or trap some beavah. The sun will come out at sometime might be next year or the next, just relax!! LOL

I'm gonna buy some, right or wrong.

Right or Wrong is about as good as answer as it gets. I'm going to wait till next week and watch and see where this thing goes. The International world is what is going to drive things so I will watch close to when I buy in.

Good luck and no one can predict the markets, so there is no right time or bad time IMO.

If the market drops to zero, your money wouldn't have been any good anyway.

^ that maybe be true. I don't worry about that kind of thing or the markets of the world. I will survive some way, some how, like all the rest. I might have to do some more fishing to eat, which would be a great thing.

Not sure of the % I lost but in the last week I'm 80K down. OUCH!!

If the market drops to Zero- I'd invest in guns and barb wire, until then - some good buying opportunities on some solid balance sheets and dividend darlings that came off a 52 week high prior to Bernie's lead and the virus hitting the news.

It will rebound

I still need to invest. Thinking Roth IRA

Be patient it will come back.

Yep. I'm thinking mid week and BUY,BUY, BUY

We don't have money. It's fiat currency. It's not real anyway. Lol.

It’s got so bad this week I quit looking...down $14K just this week alone.

The moneys not gone until you sell for a loss, that's my take on it.

"conspiracy" theory is that this is all engineered by left and other commie govt such as China to manufacture a ressesion before election!

Let a virus loose to tank stocks!

There was actually a comment made by a forien leader at some point in this whole corono thing "China 1st".

I agree.

That is a true statement even the blue party would have a hard time putting hate/negativity in that statement.

You haven't lost a dime UNLESS you sell your holding.

Market corrections are just a way to steal money from people that shouldn't be in the market in the first place.

Investing in the market is still cheaper than an ex-wife or a drug habit.....

For that to happen, the left would need a brain...……. I see no evidence of that.
