“It may not be tomorrow, next month, or this year, but the stock market is a fantastic wealth generation machine, and over time, the dramatic sell-off we’re experiencing will simply be another data point on a chart.”
What if you don’t have 20 years to wait for a recovery of your 50% losses? If you lose 50%, you need a 100% movement up to get back what was lost.
It’s a Kleptocracy I tells ya!
That's my idea. I won't need any of the money in my investments for quite some time, although I admit, it's nerve-wracking to watch the ups and downs of the markets. My son does some financial counseling and he tells me he gets calls from worried investors in the middle of the night.
New term, inflationary Depression.
Timing the market is sooo difficult. Problem with selling is that you usually miss the opportunity to get back in. Generally you just need to leave it and suck it up buttercup.
A new word is starting to creep in. Inflationary Depression!

No, the forward S&P earnings ratio is 18x, above the 14.5x average but nothing remotely close to 70
Warren Buffet famously said, “The stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient.”

Never underestimate how bad Biden and the commie rats can screw up this country. With over 2 and a half years to go they can devastate our economy. I believe these are the good times of the Biden administration.
Stock market collapse is just the beginning of what is to come. Socialists and Communists around the World know they have a sucker in Biden and the Dems and will continue to destroy the Dollar so it loses World Reserve Status.
That’s the spirit. Long term investing and disciplined savings is the key to wealth.
I feel bad for the persons with 401ks that are at retirement now, especially if they haven’t moved into other things.
The rest of us will be fine. Our dollars will buy shares are lower prices, then recover. And yes, I know inflation means our dollars are worth less. The only way out of this is to get rid of the Dim majority.
It’s only money, and the future of my life on the line.
Should I worry?
I have a back-up plan. Someone died for me.
I appreciate it very much, and try to let him know each day.
It all depends on what they are invested in. 🙂
