Because the economy feeds the market. So as long as people consume stuff, there will a stock market. The market is over 500 years old, older than the USA It has never crashed to zero, and it has always recovered with a growth rate of 12% per year, that's going to before the dip of '29 12% overall market growth 100 years+ Our group makes 20% I never forgive and I never forget I am a licensed firearm holder.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 81756466 01/04/2022 11:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Been on here since like 2010 seen your posts for better of for worse I like the no bullshit style. Appreciate your perspective. I know you said no individual stocks but at 29 looking to be semi aggressive. Roth is all REITs(different industries, but all REITs) Traditional is all ETFs but diversified (total market, value/growth/dividend funds small/mid, and then specialty ones like DAPP, SNSR QCLN etc) HSA is diversified but all individual stocks (Tyson, Microsoft, Apple, Landstar etc) Any other advice? Will keep the emergency fund more liquid then, maybe 5k in short term bond funds / MM and 5K cash. Goal is to own a house and some land one day, but been on my own since 17 and trying to stack as much as I can from 0. It’s not that much, but at 29 I have about 13K split between a Roth(REITS), Traditional(Diversified ETFs), and HSA(individual stocks). Quoting: Anonymous Coward 81756466 I have another 10K saved up as an emergency fund, and was thinking about putting that into a brokerage instead of my savings.. should I choose money market / short term bond ETFs for the emergency fund or still put some of that in the actual growth market? Any advice appreciated. You should have an emergency fund that will pay all bills for a year...However, a $10,000 emergency fund should suffice. Here's why. Statistically, anyone of use will have an emergency every 10 years, that will cost you 10k How do I know that? How long do you drive a car? Car payments? In ten years, you will be ready for a new car or Susy needs orthodontal work, or dad was in car accident as is laid off... 10k or more every 10 years...count on it I like the Roth and the taxable brokerage account, and the HSA! Good job! Keep paying into it monthly... For your 10k that won't be making much because it's liquid at the bank: I have spoken to managers of banks and convinced them to write "No penalty for early withdraw" on a CD, explaining to him that the only way I will cash in the CD prematurely is if there is an absolute life or death situation... That should pay higher than a money market... But I don't worry about interest on the emergency fund...The value of it is in the fact it's liquid and just down the street... |

So I would like to once again introduce my theory of, for lack of a better term, the "Do something Syndrome" Basically, my theory has proven correct and effective. In the face of uncertainty in life, and here we are discussing economic uncertainty, people have the kneejerk reaction to "DO SOMETHING". I have proven to myself over the course of 30+ years of investing, that the best strategy is to DO NOTHING... If you pulled out of the market in the last three years, you lost out! Investing is for the long term with the goal of never cashing out...You only take distributions, and let your portfolio grow into a monster!! If you pull your money out of the market trying to time the prevention of a loss and then time the gains, to put the funds back in, you are not an investor...A gambler, but not an investor... If you began the pandemic with 100k, you would have more than doubled your money 200k+ (being very conservative) However, if you missed out on 10 of the largest days of growth in that time period, we calculated you would have lost $35,000, and have $165,000 remaining... Remember, investing is making a loan, not "Here's a few grand, now give it back and hope some money sticks to it" LOL That is not an investment strategy, unless poverty is your goal... Many of you have asked me to make an investment/money thread, so here you go, ask away...
