If you're upset about your money being down right now you shouldn't have invested it anyways.

The stock market is a LOOOOOOOONNNNNGGGGGG investment.

LONG.

LONG DOES NOT MEAN 6 MONTHS.

That's sure as hell what happened in 2008.

I watched as people just couldn't take it any more and sold at the very bottom.

If you could have gone to cash 6 months ago, now would be the time to start buying and look like a genius.

I wouldn't want to lock in my losses at this point.

Given that inflation is still out of control and there are a lot of interest rate hikes to come, there is a good chance there is pain to come.

Split the difference? move half out in case your are right, leave have in if you are wrong. Limits gains but mitigates risk. If you cash out, need a plan to avoid getting wrecked by inflation. Cash is a poor choice right now.

And we know rates will continue to go up for the rest of the year. So why not keep some cash out and try to buy the bottom?

I think even GD could unanimously agree that we are not currently at the bottom...

Yes, get out now while the market is down!  That way you’ll have cash available to buy stocks again when the market goes back up!  As it will.  It’s not rocket science guys!  Sell low, buy high!!!!!

Indeed.

The market has likely already priced in the announced rate hikes.

I spent too much on crypto the past few days, but it looks like it's gonna pay off.

Cash is what you pull out when you can't spend your crypto.

Stock ammo, food, tools, and health supplies.

Thinking about it.  I want to retire 7 years max, at 62.  I’ve lost over $20k since January.  I don’t know if I have the guts to leave it as is. I am heavy on stocks, small cap, at that. Fidelity wants me to move it into a targeted retirement date fund with more bonds and less risk.  If I stick with my 401, I think I need to stay with the plan I have bc I’ll need to make up my loss.

I don’t know what to to do.

Just like you can buy in a little at a time, you can also come out a little at a time.

If you think the market will continue down but aren’t really sure, then go to 20% or 40% cash instead of 100%

Just my opinion, but you are close enough to retirement that you should be rolling with less risk.

But, waiting until the SP500 drops 16% in about 4 month is a terrible time to make that change to less risk. You’d be locking in the losses.

I’m retiring in 4-months. I’ve “lost” $90K this year. I’ll put $34K more in by July 1.

Cash will get eaten by inflation as nobody is paying interest anywhere near the current rate. The market has its ups and down but will, most likely, rise with inflation so at least you have a chance at breaking even.

I have a small $4K rollover IRA CD that renews on the 13th. Got a notice saying it will auto-renew for 36 months at 1.8% interest. I told them to renew it for three months at their 0.9% rate and see what conditions are like in August. If the Fed is pushing up interest rates, I am not going to lock in at a cheap rate. I doubt the rates will get any worse at this point with the cost of borrowing going up.

Ya, but if the stock market falls 30%+, that's a lot of inflation to counter. Don't think it's that bad.
