It really sucked to see that I had guessed so badly watching the market soar after that decision. The good news is that I am flatlined at my peak.
Now is the time to hold on then buy low. I expect that point to be in about two years when the rats may lose their grip in congress. Until then, they will do the economy an immense amount of damage.
You and me both. But... at least we didn't lose it all if a crash happened, and pulling back is a good insurance bet. The coming crash will be very bad, Depression-era bad. I'm now seeing my bond portfolio losing money. We're in for a rough road ahead, so it's okay to have pulled back from the markets.
I did the exact same thing and am of your same opinion in about two years
