Whoa...

April 5th, 2025 at 08:19 am

I took a look at the accounts and it seems I've lost more than the equivalent of what my first house cost just in two days. It's crazy but I know that I'm in better shape than most folks so I'll just hope that things will get better eventually. I just hope it doesn't get so bad that I don't feel comfortable going to part time this summer.

    A theoretical reversal is possible, although it would somehow require our Golfer-in-Chief to somehow change his mind and back off from the tariffs. So... yeah.

    Let's hope things improve, but if it doesn't, probably not at the same speed it took to lose so much.

    I have to remind myself I am still buying stock so when it rebounds, I will have more stock to rebound with. It is the same thing I told myself under Biden. Same thing I told myself under Obama. I imagine I would have said it under Bush if we'd had a 401K to worry about then. So now I say it under Trump. It's the long game. It has to be. If you pull out, that's when you really lose.

    I agree with LR. I too am looking at this as a buying opportunity. When life gives you lemons....
