You can go to cash or a stable value fund in a 401K whenever you want.

And lock in losses.

The Market sucks

I show something like that to clients and it often opens their eyes. They'll smile and say "well, at least I'm buying low!", and that's when I know they've got it.

Oh, it's going to slowly slide down for a while.

A) It has been artificially inflated due to pent-up non-investing because of Obama. When Trump won, years of non-investing broke free.

B) Democrats won the House, which lessens confidence for the future

C) Tariffs will shake things up some

Funny as hell you put tariffs last even though the markets are in the red since Trump issued his first tariffs. And the market boomed for a couple days after it was announced US and China had some sort of trade plan worked out and then crashed again the day Trump tweeted he is the tariff man...

But tariffs only shake things up “some”!!!!!

Tariffs are always bad but buy now and when the tariffs end you'll be glad you did

Too soon to buy more, there is more dropping to be had

I love all the doom and gloom pinned on daily market fluctuations.

You would think these people bought a million dollars worth of stocks last week with plans to sell them for a huge profit in a few days

The stock market is a long term strategy that since its inception has been the best tool the average guy has for long term methodical investing

Maybe. Maybe not.

No maybes about it.

What other place can the average Joe invest a couple hundred a month for 40 years and get better returns

Trump's running up the debt because he thinks he will be out of office when those chickens come to roost.

He actually said that

Yeah, everything was going along fine, stock market was up 8K since President Trump assumed the office, but wham, Democrats take the house, control the pursestrings and damned if the stock market tanks just like it did for George Bush when Congress was taken by Nancy Pelosi's group back in 2006. You would figure that people would know history , but alas, too many dumbasses are coming out of public indoctrination schools.

Don't time the market

Just Remember Dont Panic. Too many people sell off their stocks, as it is going down, and dont hold for the recovery. In 2007 Chipotle went from $155 a share to $55 a share, I bought in at that price and road it to $400 a share.

"Daily market fluctuations" are not 6-7-800 points.

When the markets open today, will the slide continue? If it does, this could be the start of an economic disaster. I am nervous about it. Overseas markets had wild swings. Will the NYSE?

Republicans in Congress are really sweating this.

Trump's running up the debt because he thinks he will be out of office when those chickens come to roost.

A another 800 point drop will swing more Senators to the Impeachment train or to start passing legislation to quell the Trump disaster. Like a bill to end Trump's tariffs. A silent Senate will become a Democrat Senate when the Democrat candidate wins in a land slide in 2020 with huge coattails.

Today might be that turning point.

are you “worried@ about it or hoping like hell it happens?

And no a stock market decline won’t start an “economic disaster”. Sorry.

During times of high volatility it is.

People are beginning to talk about the "R" word again. I haven't personally got any money in the stock market, but a recession affects us all, and recessions seem to be somehow tied to the stock market. Businesses go belly up. People lose jobs. Things go down from there. It better not happen. We JUST got out of the last one.

No, it's not.

And what does "eat cat food" even mean?

I’m posting a very good article here. For liberals, socialists and government dependents please ignore and carry on catcalling people who invest.
For normal people remember an adage as old as the Fed itself. “Don’t fight the Fed”

Everyone knows Democrats have taken over the purse strings, so the panic will continue.

 

[DOTR]

And I’ll repeat what I said before ...yes the Fed is hammering us with aggressive rate increases and the stock market will feel it. But it has to be done. Years of ZIRP and QE have severely damaged market feedback mechanisms.
The Fed did it. Now it has to undo it. And it will be like a heroin addict going cold turkey.

 

[my2¢]

I don't blame Trump's comment on the debt for the market's fall, I see it as about his comment on pulling out of NAFTA.

Trump is about to play a dangerous game of chicken with Democrats to try to ram through his trade deal with Mexico and Canada

I think Trump shot himself in the foot on this one.
