I guess you're referring to the DOW which was actually down 1.8% but let's ignore Nasdaq that was down close to 4% at close and much more after.....

I'm guessing you have little or nothing invested in equities....

And WHERE did I say "orange man bad"????

Anyone who thinks the market is "free falling" (probably not the best term I could have used)..... is not a liberal.... just someone watching their assets melt away over a Tweet.....

Crypto took a big hit yesterday. I don’t understand it so I’m not in it.

It may only be a 2% drop or so but when the market is up to 6700 or so on the S &P 2% may seem small but it is a lot more dollars then when the market was 5,000 30 years ago or so.
Economic fundementals are still good and strong we just have a lot of politics from the government in the market now and it does have a big impact on how the private sector with monies invest or plan for the future.

Not worried much about it. My stash is put away in a trust consisting of equities for my grandkids when they turn 35. I, myself will never need it unless I live to be 110.

Iam in the market 100%, I bought established companies probably 70%, 30% div. payers. My two cents we have to stop printing money we don't have, China is not in very good shape, I think they are selling our paper and buying gold!? They are encouraging the "BRICS" to do the same. The Fed. Reserve isn't worth much

I don't know if this is a short term drop or the puke that will come someday!? IF I knew I'd be rich!

What I do know is in two days Im gonna be setting coyote traps!

Its a good time to be a trapper!

It has been interesting year for sure. I have an AA of 80/10/10 Equity/bond/high yielding CD. I looked today I'm up 9.7% YTD so still a very good year despite and sideways market year.

Your post made me look. Ytd still up 22% after the drop. The sky is not falling and I hope it droped a bunch more. Looks like another buying opportunity.

Great!

My is all growth I don't contribute from a W2 or buy anymore. I just ride the waves with my portfolio and never rebalance. I bought and held for 38 years and never have sold one stock to this day. A lot of power in compounding plus time.

sounds like you have a great plan. Im putting in as much as I can teying to make up for lost time. Had some good buys during the dip at the beginning of the year. Got a few looser as well. Had some great suggestions on things to look into and see what i thought from one of out smart members here and done well on those also. Wish I would have bought more. But thats always the case on the winners.

Compounding interest...the 8th wonder of the world. Credit to AE....
