$100,000 of my own has just been burned “at stake”.......
It is a concerted effort to destroy the “Trump Economy” to drive the approval numbers down to where the Cabal can take him out. Stay tuned.
Down 2 % from 4/18 Satying on course
Stick around.

Are those realized losses or on paper? I have a 403(b) account and it’s downside risk is pretty limited, so I am sticking with it. Buy the dips (if you can).
If you fell for the “safety” of the stock market, by all means stay in it. If not, gambling is also legal in many states.
Hey you bet on globalism. How does it feel to be a citizen of the world?

Unless you were planning on selling that $100,000 in equities tomorrow, your loss only exists, for now, on paper, and if you were planning on holding it for quite a few more years, then by the time you do intend to sell it it may again have risen above your intitial investment, whatever that was.
Which by the way, the only real loss in equities is NOt when the value is lower today than yesterday, just when it is lower than your intiial investment. Anything else is only a loss on paper, because the only real gain you have is a gain you take, not a gain you leave on the table ‘cause you’re still holding.
There are only 2 real values - what you paid, and what you sell for; the rest are only “what ifs” on paper.
For example: If your investment was $500,000 and over the last 24 months it looked like $700,000, but now looks like $600,000 you did not “lose” $100,000. It was your potential gain - POTENTIAL, NOT REAL - that went $100,000 lower, but still left your investent at $100,000 more than what you put in.
That may not fit your investment bundle, but you get the idea.
