Seems to me that the long-term attractiveness of most US companies just went up, at the same time as the prices of their stock were driven down by overreaction.
I think US companies will be in a significantly better position when the dust settles and the negotiated unwinding of mutually-destructive tariffs and unfair trade practices starts to level the playing fields.
It may take a while, but buying opportunities soon, I think, for folks with long-term planning horizons and/or sufficient diversification. Babies are being thrown out with the bathwater, and all that.

Only if you sold after the drop. I'm sure you're aware of "peaks" and "valleys" in investing, right?
People who are expecting Trump to cruise and change everything bad about the country in the first 100 days really need to learn patience. You don't have to step too far back to see that Trump has done more for this country in his 73 days than Biden in his 1460 days. And it is only going to get better.

It's now or never. Turn off the media, get on with your life and try to make an impact locally.
Donald Trump is the best thing to happen to America in my lifetime. He put his life on the line for us. A little patience and support isn't too much to ask after all his sacrifices for us.
The butcher with the sharpest knife has the warmest heart.

RFK Jr. fired head of the NIH bioethics dept Christine Grady, Anthony Fauci's wife. She, along with three other longtime Fauci cronies, were re-assigned to the "Indian Health Service", the equivalent of Siberia.

As a member of the Senior Executive Service she has to accept the new post at IHS or must resign or be fired for cause.
She'll resign or retire rather than deal with the IHS.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Skins… The DOW IS UP over 5% year over year. And over 21% over two years.
Long term… time to buy?
My Three personal investment accounts are ranging 6% to 9% year over as of COB today.
Neil is from Canada. Is he admitting that Canada really is the 51st state?

ABSOLUTLEY! If you didn't sell, you didn't lose dime.
Did you SELL everything, today? If you did not, then you didn't actually lose anything. Anyone in the market and I assume you have, must have experienced ups and downs? It is not fun watching downs, I must agree but this is an infrastructure restructuring with experiencing the costs more up front. We all need patience. Peace, out.
Fuck him, Canadian asshole GTFO , why are you here?

I don't know why others are telling Jesse he didn't have a loss unless he sold as that is simply not true. He experienced an "unrealized loss", ask any CPA what that is if you don't believe me. The value of any investment account is as shown at the end of the day in their brokerage or other account. It is also what a bank would want to know if you were applying for a loan/mortgage or such.
I only say this as people need to be aware of risks of investing and plan accordingly with asset allocation that is inline with their goals, time frame, and risk for tolerance and also evaluate longer term performance of their assets when having concerns with short term performance.
I am very confident in what President Trump is doing and the need for it but we certainly will see more volatility in the mean time. The can has been kicked down the road for far too long, especially in regard to insane deficits and government spending/fraud/mismanagement. Wall street hates uncertainty.

You've lost money today (on paper) and you're upset about it. I- we- understand that, but you asked for an explanation and then you rejected the explanation you were given.
Now, telling you as kindly as I can, this is not the way to behave. People here didn't make you the current focus of the thread; you did that.
