The stock market is still the highest of all time. I'm way ahead of the game. It could lose 5000 and it would still be high.

Not defensive at all. Just pointing out a fact.

I don’t look at it that close. I’m not retiring anytime soon so it’ll bounce back. Like others have said, it’s still way up.

Heard good things about Herbalife and Amway. Gotta get in on this.

u lose nothing til u cash out. I’ve been in stocks my entire adult life. It’s served me well
And I’m sure it will continue to do the same. If u are long in the market u will do well. This week is nothing more than a sale for those like me. These kind of swings will be more common now. Controlled by the puppet masters and huge institutional investors using autobots and software to trade in microseconds using algorithms. One big institutional investor sells and it sets of trading bots and then it’s like lighting a fuse then others sell in microseconds. Taking profits driving stocks down and they make millions. Then they buy back lower. The losers are the investors that get scared and sell low. They get screwed. I hold and add positions in the dips. It’s all a game. These crazy swings you see in the markets today are not based on news but rather on software and puppet masters.

Funk:
I took a hit along with everyone else, but I’m still averaging 10+% return, which beats the pants off many other investment products.
I’d diversified my portfolio a while back, which I believe protected me some in this recent dip. In fact, I’ve begun employing some of the asset allocation strategies Ray Dalio recommends. I started a couple of threads about Ray and his methods on the Business board.
Marketwatch.com often features some good articles by knowledgeable folks. I usually scan them at work in the morning.
The most important thing I’ve learned in terms of investing is to keep a cool head and DON’T be emotional and/or impulsive. Diversification, education, and patience are key. I’m not fond of cliches, but it’s true that intelligent investing is a marathon; not a sprint.
It wasn’t that long ago that I was averaging 17+% return. Even though my average is down roughly seven percent, I’m still coming out far ahead of many forms of “passive” investing.
I will continue to contribute my regular amount to my portfolio each pay period - monitoring and making minor adjustments along the way - and, I will buy even more when the market is low.
These are all strategies that have proven highly effective (comparatively) over many years and across a wide range of economic conditions.

Thousands, thousands. I’ve lost a huge chunk in the market this calendar year. Goddamn Trump and his tariffs. And if Janet Yellen were still running the Federal Reserve it’s unlikely interest rates would be rising. But no, asshole idiot Trump wouldn’t reappoint her because she was an “Obama” appointee.

you only lose when you sell your stocks. I bought more stocks last friday.

Getbiggers don't invest. They keep their money in a big vault, like Scrooge McDuck.

I got out before it dropped but the risk is that I waited to long to get back in thinking it would drop more. It's always a gamble

Likewise you only make money when you sell.
Otherwise it's just paper profits.
