Looked at your 401k lately?
I've lost well over $50K so far, year to date loss of -15.05%. My two IRAs have lost almost $20K.
I'm looking to retire in eight years, so I hope President Biden can put things back in order by his second term.
If you can't be a good example, you can still serve as a horrible warning.

Re: Looked at your 401k lately?
fortunately (or unfortunately), I don't have much money in IRA's or 401k. Since I own my own small business, we don't have 401k or any retirement plans. A lot of my $$ is tied up in my business and we have all of our money in cd's and guaranteed type accounts (bonding requirements).QillerDaemon wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2020 8:11 pm

but I do have money in stocks and mutual funds, etc. and those have crashed hard. about like 911 and the 2008 loan mess. This one is actually more of a correction than what people are blaming it on. the market grew way too fast and too high and all it needed was a push to tip it over. I moved a lot of money a few months ago into a different money manager account and instead of investing it all at once (since the market was so freaking high) I only put in about 25% of it and kept the other in money markets to add a little at a time. That was pure luck though. But I think I'm ready to put that in now. I really think this market has found a bottom. It was around 18,000 when trump got elected and its down around 20,000 now, so that's about the right range for it to stall out on this downward spiral.

Re: Looked at your 401k lately?
I'm thinking a few more weeks before it's stable and moving up.
But I don't know much about the markets so don't count on this to be reliable.

Re: Looked at your 401k lately?
Just a guess on my part. Investors over the weekend wondering what all the jitters are about over 2,200 cases- more people probably died in auto accidents last week. Dow up 2,000 (almost 10%) Friday. I expect a huge surge Monday. Back up near record highs by Summer. Just my guess-what do I know.

Re: Looked at your 401k lately?
You know absolutely nothing at all if you think it will be near record highs (30,000) by this summer. that might be the most ridiculous prediction I have ever heard.WestTexasCrude wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2020 9:38 pm Just a guess on my part.

Re: Looked at your 401k lately?
And you know this how? I'm not the idiot in panic mode the last 2 weeks bailing the market and shifting most everything into Gold only to come sheepishly back by Summer. Let me state this again. 2,200 cases fueled by the Liberal media barrage and you fell for it hook, line, sinker.

Re: Looked at your 401k lately?
i'm an investment guru in the fact that if i put my money into a mutual fund (or whatever) and it gained 30% in 2 months, i would sell it. Just like everyone else in the world that invests money. No one is going to sit around and watch an investment climb that much in that short a period of time and just sit on it. it doesn't happen. Markets go up slowly and they come down fast and hard. that's how it works.WestTexasCrude wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2020 9:56 pmAnd you know this how?

Re: Looked at your 401k lately?
Let me state this again. The market fell around 30%. That wasn't a hoax. That wasn't something cooked up by the liberal media. That wasn't anything to fall for hook line and sinker. That HAPPENED. It really did that.WestTexasCrude wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2020 9:56 pm And you know this how?

Don't let the liberal media fool you, the market will be a 50,000 by August and Trump will make Trump Jr Vice Pres and AOC will be imprisoned and we will rule for 1000 years

Re: Looked at your 401k lately?
Fine. I'll leave it there. It's at 23,000/ highest ever was 29,000+. Watch the next only 5 days until next Friday. I'll get back to you then. Deal? You're missing the point.

Re: Looked at your 401k lately?
The economics have changed dramatically in the short term. Goods from China and Asia generally have slowed which will affect production and sales in the US. Productivity is likely to be down anyway generally in the US. The travel industry and the entertainment industries are essentially dead right now. International trade will be down.WestTexasCrude wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2020 10:07 pmFine. I'll leave it there. It's at 23,000/ highest ever was 29,000+. Watch the next only 5 days until next Friday.
