So, those 401ks and investments. How much have you lost so far? Be brave and contribute.

I think we are there...Bottom

40 billion just recently.

It's hard to figure, honestly.

I've lost money in one managed account, but I made money in another that I manage myself. The one I manage myself was small cap stocks for smaller pharmaceutical companies that I would buy and sell as the news cycle moved.

All together, I think I'm down 15% or maybe as much as 20%.

I think Q2 earning will be ugly.

Another leg down in July.

Yep

Haven’t looked

Why would I?

It will come back...have long timeline

I have lost 20% since January... or a total of $200,000. I rebalanced my portfolio to more stable interest.... Enough is enough!! Bidet' and his a--clown crew need to go!!

I have lost nothing. It is a paper loss. You only truly lose if you sell!

My gut tells me that if Repubs have big wins in November, the market will soar for another year or two After that we will see.

If the pub's can mitigate bidet's damage, the markets will recover to some degree...

All these people saying you don't lose till you sell. I know lots of people that lost about 40% after 911. It took a very long time to recover from that. If you were near retirement age, you got screwed big.

The QE's are ending, that is, liquidity, and the market is like the reservoir where this liquidity flows into. With this, stock prices become inflated, as the money has to be parked somewhere.

When earnings come in and are disappointing, value dissipates, the price of the stock goes down if there is not excess liquidity keeping it artificially afloat. This is the stage we are entering. Earnings and real estate will get slammed by inflation. I think we have another 20-30% more to go and it could even be worse.

Maybe?

True if you are looking at it from an accounting perspective.

However, your net worth has been diminished.

Yet inflation on average is 2-3% every year. This year 8%+ !

How's that 12% over 10 years looking now?

2 years ago it was at 27k

I really don’t think GLP understands what “investing for the future means”

You don’t invest for 6 months a quit. These people are investing for decades.

It’s gonna look great. It’s 10 fucking years away dude. Lol

I havent lost any, but Ive gone from 16.9% to about 2% growth.

THIS.

For all the people who don’t understand long term investing

you are so right.

unrealized gains, unrealized losses

both not real except to the dopes that propose taxing them.

Not very good at math are you?

Since the election I’ve lost about 50k in the value of my investments.

Only people that loose say you haven’t lost anything until you sell.

But the fact is your wealth is dependent on LIQUID ASSETS. I’d you can’t withdraw it today to cash it doesn’t count. So yes you can count your 401K, IRA, crypto as wealth today if you can liquidate it immediately. But if you lost 50% you can NO LONGER LIQUIDATE what you LOST only what you HAVE.

Is that a little more clear… yes you lost not only money you hade but missed potential growth…

Year to year I'm down 8.4%. So I've retained 91% of my investment worth. However,I don't make or lose anythig until I sell. Its down y to y but up 83% over the last 10 years. So overall its way up if I sold all of it but worth less than it was in January 2022. The current trend to Bitcoin shows a 52% decline y to y. Again , you can lock in your losses by selling. There's nothing to admit, its simple math. You could say its a great time to buy with prices lower or not. Investing is not gambling but you can treat it like it is, then you're gambling not investing. Odd, some folks don't know the difference.

Decades?

I don't even buy green bananas.

When you don’t need the money there is nothing lost

At best it’s been borrowed like your teenage son borrows the car and returns it a few hours later.

Unless he wrecks it lol

Correction,typo, my 10 years returm was 183%. If I has just invested in the S&P500 it would have been 10% higher. However I spread my investments over four no load funds and dollar cost average.

For anyone who is a crypto day trader or scalper, BTC has an inverted H&S pattern on the 1 hour. Usually indicates an upward trend near term.

I went from 408K to 388K in my largest, non cash account, which is in USERX and VTAPX primarily.

I won't be touching it for another 21 years, if I live that long.

IBonds are getting 9.6% from TD.

Shares will go up after next quarter dividends payout.

I was fortunate enough to buy one of those $4.00 stocks that flew to the moon. It went up to $102.00 my portfolio was $2,300,000.00 today its down to $650,000.00 I am still way up the stock is at $26.00 and floundering. Really tough to watch and to decide what to do. If I sell taxes will eat up so much of my sale, If I hold how much lower will it go? If I hang on how many years before it climbs up. All this rests on Biden's fake presidency and Obama's plans.

We are such pigeons really a handful of sick people determine our future Klaus Schwab, Soros, WHO, UN, very troubling but I have decided to hang tough ride it out screw them I am putting my faith in humanity pushing back and finding a way out.

My account is up 3-4% since this time last year.
