Well my broker went out a month ago and invested me heavily in 3M, NetFlix, and Clorox, so I'm raking in the dough now, all is good You were complaining the other day about losing $5000.

There has been no corrections in years or accountability. Everything has been smiles and pats on the back all the while being complacent since 2012. I have a feeling the real pain will be in about 6 months when the businesses that rely on China so much bottom out.

We had a correction in 2018. I believe it was borderline bear market.

Now you understand why I often post, " I'm not making this up." well, it was in hindsight. I'm only 20% in stocks. It is amazing how fast it can grow then go away in a week. I was talking to my broker, she said ride this crap out AGAIN. I have a "magic" number I've always dreamed of reaching. i reached it just before this Corono-Crash. She says next time i reach it, she say i need to "take profits" this is my fall back money. i got a small pile of lettuce under my mattress i supplement my pension and SS with. i really want the big nut and my house to go to my kid when i croak. dang, i/m sounding like another member on here

I’ve lost zero. You only lose it if you sell it. Ride it out if you have time. If you don’t have time you shouldn’t be in the market!

Still significantly down overall, but up a whole $40 today over yesterday. WooHoo
If the 2nd amendment was written just to include guns for hunting, why is there not an amendment to protect fishing poles?

So this is my strategy as well but question....Why are the Wall Street guys (Financial geniuses) selling them off at a record rate? Is it because they are day traders and expected to buy then immediately turn around to sell while generating a profit? Suspect it’s because they are not in the business of playing the long game but not positive

What’s everyone buying when it’s time? Chevron and Snap On might be good plays I took some profits and sold my only bag holding early on to have more cash ready for the market correction. Other than that, I'm not selling anything no matter how bad it gets. What am I buying? Adding to or starting new long term holdings buying the four MAGA stocks, Dividend Aristicrat/Growth stocks, and Index ETFs. As tempting as they are, I'm staying away from adding anything new that is directly China, travel, or oil related. I already started buying the other day as I had some limit orders fill at the lows of the day, but only one share each for now buying with every 5% drop of the cost of my last most recent share purchase. Till I run out of free cash or it stops dropping. Too many unknowns to know when it is "time". So that is my plan.

What are "the four MAGA stocks?"
