If 80% of my portfolio is in S&P 500 index funds, I'm assuming holding is a good call? I've held everything thus far. Just wanted some confirmation that I've got a good strategy.

Yes. Hold. Reinvest dividends. Continue to buy. Increase contribution if you can.

Yes just hold

We’re going to tank this week when the number of infections and deaths dramatically increase.

The advice is always to just hold but really the American public is not locking themselves down and then blaming the president. I think we will get a rude awakening next week and the fed has no more stopgaps to pump the market nor companies with buying back their stocks

The president deserves plenty of blame with how poorly he’s handled this.

The fed also has no stop gaps left because the president consistently pressured, bulled, and called out Powell over the last 3 years for not dropping rates faster.

Thanks y'all!

You only lose if you sell. Hold out, especially if you’re more than 20 years from retirement, and follow P1’s advice about ramping up now. Get in while things are cheap. Everything will be fine.

I have been researching into this these days and there is literature that shares how lending worked in pre-Islamic Arabia. When the time to pay back a loan came, the lender would ask "would you pay or will you increase?" And that increase was usually doubling the loan. Subsequently ever year the loan wasn't paid it was doubled from the previous year.

I’d think that has to ultimately impact home prices.

I had a baby almost a year ago. I should start a 529 account for my child but I am originally from France which also makes her a French citizen and she could easily go to college in France for not much money. It’s pretty much free there, I have 0 Student loan debt. With that in mind, a 529 would not be super helpful if we go that route. Should I consider other options? Do you have suggestions? Thanks so much!
