One also has to look at the entire market in perspective. I retired years ago, before Trump’s first term, and despite annual withdrawals, I now have more than I ever did.It has only retreated slightly as it does not like uncertainty. Once the proper legislation is passed and signed into law it will recover nicely as it always has and those invested will enjoy all those new dividends as it comes back.
As of this hour the DOW & S&P are both up nicely and the NASDAQ remains pretty flat. Not a terrible day in the market at all.
I’m not worried.
Similarly, the DC libs are screaming that house prices could drop by 10% or 15% after the overpaid federal workers are laid off. I say: eh. My house has jumped up so much during Biden’s inflation that it could drop by 10% and it’s still worth more than it was a few years ago.
