You stated earlier that you have nothing in the market. Why should anyone follow your advice if you don't trust the system enough to invest in it?
BTW, the only people actually losing REAL money are those that are panicking and selling. The people who have their retirement savings invested through market investments are still ahead of their initial investment cost, and will see the value return as the market settles down.
You never get tired of being WRONG about EVERYTHING, do you?
This is a really GOOD time to buy some stocks, one just has to predict what stocks they are. Most of the crash was in speculative stocks (tech, no products, just promises for the future) that was overvalued via the speculative investments.
TUESDAY PICK BET ON BIG SWINGS BOTH UP CURRENT AND BACK DOWN
ONE CAN BET ON FUTURES ON THE WHOLE MARKET 100 OR 200 UP OR DOWN BUT YOU MUST WATCH AND ACT INSTANTLY WHEN THE FOOL OPENS IT'S MOUTH EXPECT THE MARKET TO MOVE
i WOULD NOT BET ON A SINGLE STOCK NOW JUST THE WHOLE MESS ON AVG

“Don’t be a panicat,” one says sheepishly. “Panican,” another corrects. This is a new derogatory term for anyone worried about the dwindling contents of their retirement accounts.
The kids are standing feet from the century-old blast marks of the 1920 Wall Street bombing, when anarchists, determined to kill the market—literally and figuratively—murdered 30 people with 100 pounds of dynamite and a quarter-ton of cast-iron shrapnel. The irony is lost on the college kids. They say anyone afraid of the stock market is “gay.”
I don't know how accurate the quote is but, an interesting concept. Obvious to me that this is an opportunity to move, change or stay with investment strategies and make a bundle in the stock market, just have to be involved in the right stocks.
I believe there will be more ups and downs to this but, the world wants access to our markets. While many think they have to have products from foreign producers, I sincerely doubt that's true with the exception of a lot of our prescription drugs. Most of which I'm told are manufactured in China. Just about everything else we do need can still be procured through American sources. Although, admittedly there are a lot of parts for "things" manufactured overseas. We've got to retool and start building stuff here. We really don't need Canadian Oil or whiskey we have our own and other sources. Way too many of our automobiles are assembled up north and in Mexico, we need to bring that manufacturing back to the states. Mexico offers a lot of our agricultural products but, those can be procured else where.
DJT has a plan and it appears to be working. Dedicated naysayers will deny this and attempt to distract with comments but, this is a great economic policy other Presidents should have taken decades ago and were apparently afraid of the dark.

YOU ?
Me ? I worked till I was 65, because I liked to. If I could, I would go back to work in the oil fields today. One can work and invest at the same time.
One doesn't have to wonder much if, one simply opens their mind.

But this is not the point of the tariffs. It is there to prevent other countries from flooding their market with cheap goods from another country. This is to protect the local producer - it is hard to compete against XYZ when they are selling their product for half the cost of what they can sell theirs for.

Agreed. Only posted that because a member keeps posting losses on the stock market. But, this thread was started in reference to the Stock Market.
