Creative, but I think you’re overthinking it if you’re a long term investor.

Agree, don’t time the market

It could also go the other way and you miss great gains.

What’s the point of your investments? If it’s long term growth, I wouldn’t touch it. You’re creating taxable events as well which you should try to avoid as much as possible.

I'm staying in for the gains and just 'hope' if there is a huge crash then hopefully at least break even or small loss. Otherwise get those gains. Made 15% in June with some big bad bets that I should have been smarter about. Would have made 25% otherwise.

If you aren't comfortable with the "risk" and it'll give you peace of mind, then you should. I pulled most of my investments out because I'm planning to buy a house within the next year and would prefer to have more liquid assets. The market isn't going anywhere but it is nearly impossible to time it.

Just leave it.

I’m looking to add an associate PM and mid level PM to my team at Synaptik Digital. I’m based out of our NJ office but we have locations in Atlanta and San Francisco.

Hi All, I was offered a role with Aecoms San Francisco office working with an energy client for a midlevel associate environmental planner.

Hi everyone! First time using this app. I always wondered, how are other IT help desk jobs? I’ll share how mine is.

I make around 50k which is alright but its hectic as there’s too many tickets and not enough personnel. I heard this is common but I’m not sure.

Lot of fear in the market right now (understandably so). The situation in Ukraine is awful and the potential consequences are scary to think about.

There are some who want to sell in fear of their investments falling further. Do not do this. Hold and continue to buy more. Continue your 401k contributions, and add whatever you can afford after every paycheck into your brokerage. Those who sold the covid crash were often late buying back in.

This is the dip you're worried about.
