I always seem to push a bunch of money into indexed funds the week before a big drop like today. I know trying to time the market is futile, and I have a long hold strategy, but I'd love to buy a deep discount for once.

Yikes. What did that?
Given that, I'll take the slight down day in the grain as a good sign. |

I got lucky and sold a couple stocks on Friday as they hit some price marks I set weeks ago. Voya being the big one that finally hit 52 again. |

Too busy watching chiefs YouTube videos to dive into the Bloomberg and marketwatch stuff as to what caused it, but I'll check it out on work time tomorrow.

Rates send money to lower risk at reasonable returns. This also gave investors reason to bail on those bloated tech stocks too. It's a magnificent little correction. Last edited by eDave; 10-10-2018 at 09:44 PM.. |

Took a beating. Anyway, you have to look long term. I'm still in the black compared to this time last year. By a substantial amount. I still wish I hadn't bought a ****ing dumbass chinese stock though. Last edited by Hammock Parties; 10-11-2018 at 05:38 AM.. |

We may be seeing buying opportunities now that we've given back most of 2018's returns.

Who’s selling? Who’s buying? Who’s holding?
I’m just holding for now. Not gonna sell anything for a loss but also don’t have a ton of cash waiting on the sidelines for buying. |

HODL!
But considering moving my entire 401 to a less risky mix. |

This stings. But I guess it's the price for getting great returns for the last few years. |
