“Please remember.......
If you don’t sell, you don’t lose.”
The real question is how long will it take for any substantial recovery. 18 months to 24 months. Or longer. I do have substantial losses as I invested a big chunk of money after November 2021. so hopefully it was in companies that produce something and typically have good earnings. So I’m hopeful that I will see a recovery because I don’t need to sell for 24 months or more.
But I am very concerned about the value of the dollar and where we will be at the end of 24 months.
OK, I take your point and the need for cash can be required. However you noted companies. I think broader diversification and of a mutual fund.
However and I can’t emphasize enough, that an investment in say an S&P 500 Index fund from one of the leading funds, is in fact an investment in America. America will prosper in the long run.
Selling out America in panicked fear is selling out America
