This is no different from 2008.

If you didn't sell, don't do shit now, it's too late.

If you're young, now the time to increase your 401k contributions or take take your federal refund and invest in a good index funds in your IRA.

Of you're old, well sorry but your generation once again FA and you're in FO territory. Hope you have good relations with your kids too help you through while things slowly stabilize and recovers.

The time to panic sell was in January. This might be the time to start buying.

This mostly worked for me. I needed to sign back up with a financial advisor and I wasn’t happy with their service so I sold off most of my stocks in January to redo my portfolio. Now I’m just holding that cash for a bit.

This is just the beginning, things are gonna get real bad. The markets are currently priced with tariffs being dropped, if Trump doesn't actually drop them then there is a ton of room to fall.

Lol. No. The EU tariffs haven't even hit yet. They actually go into effect next week. The only way this is the time to buy is if you think trump is going to back down. He isn't. He's an egomaniac gambling with someone else's money. This is going to get a lot worse before anything recovers

Cool, update me on the exact bottom of the market.

[-] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 1 points 4 hours ago

That’s why this isn’t necessarily wise though. There’s no real way to know where the bottom is. It depends on unpredictable future events. Especially in this case since Trump loves to chaotically change his mind all the time.

Congrats, you’ve discovered dollar cost averaging.

Well there's only so deep stocks can go. If it's < 0.5€ what are you afraid to lose? The equivalent of a carton of eggs? 😄

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
