NW dropped from 970k to 840k in a matter of 4 months. So depressing start of the year. How do I recover from this?

What do you mean start over? You are down a little over 10%. That is completely normal. The market goes up and the market goes down. Were you wondering what was wrong with the market when it was up double it’s average last year?

If a 10% drop in markets depresses you, I really think you should reduce your exposure to markets. You obviously don’t have the risk tolerance that you thought you had (that’s true for many people BTW). True investing is about psychology, not about acting on every impulse.

Let’s hear those opinions! Thanks!
