I’ll have to wait 6-8 weeks longer to retire.
When this reaches it’s expected conclusion what are the oil markets going to fall back on as reason to play games with prices? These ME clowns have relied on market manipulation throughout the last 50yrs to extort the civilized world.
Yet I digress, there was no reason to expect anything different when the ball drops.

You can't look at profit and loss over short term. Especially during times of political instability. I monitor monthly and only really pay attention to year over year.

When I retired I converted all my stock into Annuities and Mutuals that have a fixed interest rate. I realize that I don't make as much as those of you that gamble with stock, but I know what my income will be and if I see a nice S&W I can buy it not wondering whether I can afford it.

From last week, maybe. From last year, hell no!
Always play the long game, and buy the dips.

As I’ve said many times before I don’t follow the rules. I check my balances nearly daily. I’ve also done it so long that these downward blips don’t get me. Yeah, I get a palpitation or two when it drops a bunch in short period, but I’ve also done it enough to ride it out.

I'm up about 145 % for the last 18 months. I bought what I know. Jet engine leasing companies and drone manufacturers and missile manufacturers. And AI, Bitcoin etc. also some gold. So yes last week I had 5% drop or so, but long term no big deal.
Learned long ago, my money works for me
Blackwood Group has frozen withdrawals. Trouble brewing.
We have a good mix. The stock we’ve bought from individual companies are good businesses. Like Apple or Microsoft. Think what you will of those companies but they aren’t going away anytime soon. They have solid business plans.
I’m not sure of current trends but a few years ago I read almost all mutual funds had at least some Apple stock.

I began pulling my 401K out shortly after I turned 59-1/2, and used it to pay off my property. What remained I converted into physical gold and silver. All of those combined purdy-much eliminated any further counter-party risk to my retirement situation.....One of the side benefits of my doing that is that I no longer have any paper instruments which can only be exchanged for more paper, which also means that the days of having fees to pay every time I want to hold, transfer, spend, or otherwise use my own money are over.....In addition, it should be noted that since I began that journey in 2007, the gold that I bought has increased in value by a factor of about 4X and my silver by some 5x, while the spending power of so-called "dollars" that I used to buy them both with has decreased by over 36%....Then there's all that compounded interest that I saved by paying off my mortgage several years early to consider also.
Point is, if playing the stock market game with your hard earned money makes you nervous, it might be your common sense trying to tell you something.....Well that, and that there's always more than one way to skin a cat.
Hope this helps someone.

No, I expect there ain't. From what I know about you, I'd bet that you've purty-much got yourself covered no matter what..LOL.
Good to see you around again.

My total account max dip was 2.5% since 2/28. As off last night it is now only 1%. Just a normal blip at this point.
1. NOTHING is EVER as good as Wall Street says it is and they only say it to YOU after they have what they want of it.
2. NOTHING is EVER as bad as Wall Street says it is and they only say it to YOU after they have gotten rid what they want of it.
3. You'll NEVER get rich doing what the poor people do.
4. Don't put your money down playing another man's game in HIS back yard.
5. No matter what they say or what you think, the government is ALWAYS STEALING from you. Your money in a passbook savings and the fruit jar out back are BOTH guaranteed losers. Cash is a con the government runs.

Good question...... since the market runs on emotions.... I'll guess , Yes, the new Iran "war" has caused stock values to drop.
Ive made quite a bit of money in my investments since "lets go brandon" is gone and Trump became pres,

Interesting attitudes. Look at it like this, the low prices make them, on sale. People like to buy groceries on sale, but never assets on sale. Doesn’t make sense. Fact is people are funny that way, they buy when prices are going up, because they feel like they are missing out.

Bought Nvidia at $12.00 nuff said.
My son has done quite well with NVDA. He bought years back
I have a crapton of CRS that I got ages ago. My cost per share on it is $12.76. It's always been between $5 and $40 for the past 30 years, and then 2023 happened and it took off like a bat out of hell.
