The only ones who get hurt riding a roller coaster are the ones who jump off. Don't panic and sell, everyone! Time in the market > timing the market.

I have NEVER seen anyone jump off a roller coaster. Ever! Since they have those belts you can’t open mid air! There are no seat belts when it comes to stocks though! So not sure the analogy is valid

The only ones who maximize returns are those who see the ups and downs ; get off and then jump back in. If you don’t think there is a correction in progress ; ride it through and be average at best.

Lost principal is gone, it doesn’t come back. The reasonable approach is to predefine criteria to sell. It is always the right time to sell for somebody and if nobody sold, there’d be nothing to buy.

Probably the antithesis of this bowl - but need some advice. This is for a house in a Southern metro. Built in 1960s completely remodeled in 2000s with some very recent additional remodeling of kitchen and bathrooms. Well kept house. The price will be nearly $1M, the same as something built in 2010+ with similar square footage (because a lot of the price is the lot, its a super expensive zip). Should I steer clear because of the age? Will it cost a ton in maintenance and utility bills?
