Yikes! Looks like another bad week on Wall St

Last week I wanted to exchange out of my index fund into an ETF that specializes in essentials. They told me I had to open a brokerage account first, took my money out and parked it in a money market until my account got final approval. The next day the market started tanking and my money is still sitting in that money market waiting for things to stabilize. Now all I have to worry about is my cash becoming worthless before my stocks would have.
