My plan is to stay invested until dividends hit in December, and then I'm going to evaluate moving my investments into a money market or bonds. Amazon's numbers show that consumers are still buying, and my assumption is that consumer spending will hold off the pop for now.

I 100% expect a massive crash, and when it's just seven companies propping up an entire economy, the pop is going to be very bad. I'd rather lose a little value in the short term than have my portfolio drop to a calamitous degree and have to wait 5-10 years for it to recover.

*not a FA, just my personal plan

I stopped putting money into us equities and started to put them in purely international index funds. I havent sold anything though.

You think the US economy going totally tits up won't take the rest of the world with it to some degree?

[-] chilicheeselies@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I know, but i figure my lossrs will be more controlled and my recovery smoother

Yeah, this economy has given me the heebie-jeebies for the last quarter now.

Unless you're a billionaire or on a signal chat in Washington, I don't know how you can feel good about what's happening.

I'm waiting for my sweet 200 in tax returns and rolling it into scratch tickets.

May the odds be ever in your favor.

I wish I could convince SO to do this with our funds but they will just say im a doomsdayer

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Oof, yeah. Having to make group decisions with money is tough.

Partly why I love being single and childless.

I can see that!

We will probably just ride it out
