I hope many of you didn't pull money out of your investment portfolio several weeks ago. I was down about 30% across the board on my investments, and don't even want to think about how much that was in actual dollars.
But I didn't sell anything. In fact, to the extent I had a little extra cash laying around, I was slowly buying as the market was tanking. My wife put an end to that when she decided to remodel two bathrooms! LOL
But I've made back about 18% of that since the market bottom. I'm still down about11-12% off the market highs, and it may take a while before it gets back. Who knows. But my point is, it's foolish to try and time and market. If you didn't need that money short term, you haven't lost anything, because you haven't sold. If it's your long term investments, then treat them like long term investments and don't watch them daily.
