Sounds like anything you think will be a winner you should short instead … but in all seriousness you are probably not informed enough to pick winners consistently so just get some good ETFs and cash out at retirement.

Lol.

Stay in cash if you have any left.

The rich have lost 40% of their portfolio in the last 12 months. Do you know how long it take to recover from that?

Read what economists and money managers are doing right now. They themeswlves haven’t started to rebuy stock yet. They have shifted into a defensive portfolio and are holding large cash positions.

Yes over a long period of time the maekrt will go up but buyin the dip for the last year would have resulted in a massive lost to date. Be art with your cash allocations js Whqt I’m saying. Don’t buy just to buy

Hoard cash.

i bonds ? At least for a year or two

When inflation drops these will become worthless

Similar boat bro but more like 1/2 my salary. I’m keeping my high conviction stuff, have realised some losses in order to hoard cash.

Same. It hurts. Luckily got a new job with a 45% pay bump.

So now I have even more to lose! 🤡

Not where you invest yours I hope

Mostly VTI

Sqqq

Until the moron in office is gone, it’ll be this way. Luckily took out all of my money when I found out the current administration won.

I would invest whatever money you have into this black hole and hopefully come out the other side, well, when Dems don’t win.

Do what the rich do and do systematic stock purchases regardless of the state of the economy, and ignore the yearly fluctuations like this

Or do what the rich people’s bosses do, and buy assets

I recently was let go (in lieu of accepting my two weeks) and I should have received my March expense check by the end of April per the employment agreement (submitted the report April 1, let go before mid April).

How do I get my money from them? It's a few hundred dollars

Sorry if this isn't the right bowl for this question - I've checked a few.

What is a simple way to explain to my boyfriend that investing in equity with an expected return of 10% is better than paying off debt that is growing at a rate of 6%.

I understand that many individuals use this strategy but I think investing in index funds for the long haul is better from a wealth accumulation perspective, without even factoring in tax implications of 401k
