No, I only popped the dollars into bonds until the crash was over.
Reluctantly I re-invested after the fall.
Many folks were impressed that I missed the loss.
Just had a vision that the market was going DOWN.
{was only “out” of market 2 months}
Now that I have been back in the market, it does not inspire to greatness of wealth. marginal, only marginal...
Just FYI
My company does pay matching twice monthly. 2% of gross. Been that way for probably more than 10 years.
This is my strategy below. I can do this only because my company allows it. I feel for those folks whose money is trapped in one or other funds, and you can’t move it.
I move the whole chunk between a bond or income fund and our company stock. I can do this once daily. So, one day it will be in my companyX stock when I think it’s going to go up, and the next day I’ll transfer it back to an income fund which has very low risk which minimizes any loss.
