Where’s the “yeah, right” girl meme?

We are already in a recession. I work for a big-box retailer that has been doing very, very well. We are in an extremely prosperous area that historically has avoided the worst economic downturns. But now my store is virtually empty. People are not shopping the way they were even a few months ago.

I hope he’s not betting the cookie jar money on it.

Nobody can predict what the stock market will do in the short term. The worst thing one can do is panic and sell on a downturn. This happened right after "COVID" hit in March 2020. People got scared and started bailing out of stocks only to see them skyrocket to 20% plus gains for the year (2020). If you remember, many were predicting the entire economy would collapse as the "COVID" lockdowns continued.

I personally know somebody who retired around that time and is kicking himself for moving all his retirement assets out of stocks. He locked in a six-figure loss and then lost out on all the gains afterwards. Now he may be forced to go back to work to make up the shortfall. Had he stayed put, he'd be in good shape, even in the current downturn.

well, if dollars are worthless, expect everything to be “worth more dollars.”
