Man, just remember it's a long game, years and years and years. It seems like y'all recently got in it at the epic high point a few months ago... Gotta wait out a storms but over the long haul it will tend up.

I have a diversified index type account so I'm standing strong and leaving it in. Obviously the 401k will take a dump too but whatever. It went up like 22% in 2017, can't always win.

Markets getting hammered.

dow is lower than it was on jan 2, but not a 52wk low. Same for S&P 500.

Nasdaq down 10% from high a month ago. officially in a correction, or so the headlines say.

-9.5% now here. Where's my easy 10% return, again? I'm getting sick of trying to save money for a future that won't exist.

It's all about the long game.
Now is a great time to make some adjustments, which is what I'll be doing.

Wait it out, furthermore, wait until it bottoms out, or gets close to doing so, probably going to be around mid January, and then purchase more, buy low/ sell high.

Max woulknow more about that timeline, being in the financial industry. Historically there is always a recovery from the dips that's greater than the value since before.

Hey, if you really want a wild fucking ride, get into crypto.

I am not very plugged into this but my guess would be

energy, banking, and weed

And Tech, I'm going to switch mine over to be more focused on that market.

Right now it's still how my mother, and grandparents had it set up, conservative, and based in retail.

My 401k is down 5% YTD.

I've got it in a target retirement date fund, I wonder if I should move some stuff around?
