What did you buy this week?

You know we have been paying tariffs for 5 years already right?
What could tariffs do that biden and harris didn't already do with their 30% increase over 4 yrs.
Take the blinders and headphones off. You are getting bad information.

Still more are coming. I bailed out of stocks yesterday to prepare for when it hits the fan.

My thinking exactly. Last week was the week to sell before the losses. I'll stay ~ it will come back. History has proven that.

I’ve done the same for 30+ years. But at this time in life, I don’t want to experience another 2008 32% drop. Which could happen if tariffs are widespread and deep. Or maybe this won’t happen. Getting back in is easy.

Yes but getting out after a drop realizes a loss. And getting back in after a gain does the same.
Historically people that held during 2008 made more money than people who sold.
Invidia was a prime example.

plus, when you get out your hit with the taxes on the capital gain. no thanks. i made more money on the stock market last year than i ever did working... way more.
i actually keep a spread sheet going back nearly 20 years. if i do dec to dec recaps, its truly amazing on how much we get per year.

Very true. But when you have a need for the investment funds within the next year or two, it changes your loss tolerance.

Same. Timing the market has proven to lose people more money than not. 30 years and averaging 13% plus... Without an advisor. Too much fear and emotion

I wear tennis shoes year round. Amazing what you can find shopping online. Walmart, Avia. $6.30!???
Most shoes are all made in China anyway and color doesn't matter. Free shipping if order was over $35 & received next day.

ETFs I thought to sell yesterday are up today... and so it goes.
