Should only talk in percentages. $30k on a $1M account is nothing.
Down $30k on $100k is much different.
I’m down about 15% on my investments but moved to mostly cash in many this month, outside of my 401k which I’ll just keep dollar cost averaging into. Timeline 25 years to retire at 60. [Reply]
I'm -17% YTD, but I'm mostly in S&P funds, so that's actually a bit better than I'd expected (since the S&P is currently -20% or so). C'est la vie. I won't touch it for 25 years anyway. [Reply]
roughly 35 - 40% on what i'm still currently invested in. but i sold off the majority of my portfolio a while back and converted it into cash. been patiently waiting for when i feel a bottom has been found. [Reply]
My Webull account is up 165.7% since I opened it April 6th. Just completed another trade this morning 11.55% gain
My Etrade account is down around 50% from a year ago. But currently I'm now about 20% cash and using that to swing trades now that I have a system figured out that works.
I'm already retired and living off rental income so it's all play money but losing is still no fun . [Reply]
If you are retired, the downswings aren't fun. If you aren't there yet, you can just get more value from the dip. Don't get me wrong, I never want to see it go down. I'm just not overly concerned because I still have a ways to go.
With all that said, I'm down 55k from the end of December. [Reply]
