Boy, that Dow

I agree, Molly. I am glad you changed your allocation and have more in cash and bonds now.

We are at age where can no longer afford to lose a whole lot, no time to make it up.

I’m still up a nice amount from just 12 months ago, so no worries yet. I’ve been investing since 1980, so I’ve seen a few bumps before. I have enough in cash that I can weather a pretty big storm without a worry. I’m more worried about the socialists taking over than a virus.

If things get really bad my ammo hoard will be valuable.

Molly, I feel the same way. When everyone starts to think that one type of investment is the best thing, values jump, and money pours in, it is time to rethink. Speculators have had disastrous results on many investments.

Sure is high.

I see your OP here is dated last November 5th - before most of us ever heard the word coronavirus. Amazing how much things can change in the following just short of four months, no? Rob

Same here - the ostrich strategy has always served me well and no doubt has been helpful in "staying the course" during market downturns.

I did check to see how much we lost. I am grateful it wasn’t more..... shocked actually. Hopefully, folks will continue to buy at bargain prices!
