The Chinese market will turn at some point and a Chinese friendly president will be elected.

So only six years to go.

Okay, the games are over now. Stop this tomfoolery and start going back up. I've had my retirement date pushed back two years over the past three months.

Damn, the market is getting a beating.... makes me wonder if I should pull out from the aggressive mode and put it into the safe funds....
[Reply]

I think the long-term wisdom says that you don't change your strategy or you become more aggressive. Whatever you were doing heading into the downturn, you want to be the same or more aggressive coming out of the downturn.

But man, it sure hurts going in.

And yeah, I know. That's what she said.

I'm thinking about taking some losses now before Jan1

Yeah, I just sold some of my General Mills stock that was a bad decision. I may buy it back in January if the market keeps going down.
[Reply]

Do you have any targets for reinvestment other than General Mills. Apple is being recommended by Motley to buy now as it's down 30% in this correction.

From Mayish to October of this year I was just contributing to index ETFs. This last week I harvested the last of my small cap contributions. End of day Friday I pushed some of that money back into my large cap etfs. 7% down in one week? Seems way overdone.

Like Rain Man, I've harvested a few individual stocks that've done poorly. I got lucky to get out of Micron at 60 but held onto Lam Research and semiconductors have been wrecked. I've harvested part of my position and I'll move back in next year if things look good. They pay a pretty decent dividend for a tech company. They had to dump their CEO which didn't help. I need to follow up and do some more research on this I think.

Question:

I just got a job offer. Salary will start ~120 with a significant increase after about three years. Company offers an IRA that they match 50% of up to 5 percent of my salary (2.5% ). I'll have about 180k of student loan debt.

What resources do you recommend I look at, and how would you diversify?
[Reply]

What’s your risk tolerance?
What funds do they offer?
Do you have other investments?
What’s your retirement timeline?

You obviously have to do minimum 5% to gather all the free money.

1) moderate
2) Not sure yet
3) No
4) 35 years
[Reply]

So no other investments at all? Any investing experience?
What’s your age? The helps determine how behind you are in saving for retirement.

Can’t help with resources until we have idea of the fund choices they offer.
