I mean if you’re drop $10k at once in March, it’s safe to assume you have more cash to put in. So what are your numbers looking like if you dropped another $10k March 2001, and March 2002...

You can cherry pick numbers all day. Dumb graphic.

Yes. It’s peak to peak.

Decade long bear markets are real. The S&P took 7+ years to recover the 2000 peak. From the late 1960s to 1980 the S&P was down 3% in real terms.

If you have profits over the last 6 months maybe trim a little? Or a lot.

Vp1, you're not really disputing what was said. All A2 said was there is a big difference between the Amazon and Apple of today compared to the pets.com of the early 2000s. That's factually true.

That doesn't mean tech can't crash again; it certainly can. But if one is making an argument that tech can crash again, you need to point to a different rationale than just simply comparing today's tech companies to the tech companies of the early 2000s. They are not comparable.

How is that possible? QQQ is 50% tech

While I want to be charitable, having too much go to the charity is a conern. Any suggestions ?

Hello! This is a long story, so I’ll try to keep it brief. I work for a very small supplement company - it’s myself (marketing/acct mgmt) my coworker (sales), and the owner. My coworker is struggling to complete his tasks/meet his goals, and the owner is coming to me about angry clients. I’m afraid my coworkers inability to complete his duties is somehow being reflected onto me? What’s the most tactful way to have a conversation, either with him or the owner? Can provide further detail if needed
