Me either, other than rebalancing if/when my AA strays far enough to get outside its specified bands.

I believe that this is Vanguard speak for not selling during crises, not trying to time the market, and maintaining the asset allocation you have in your financial plan or statement, regardless of market conditions.

2020 is half over. Up 2.3% year to date, with a nominal 50/50 asset allocation. This includes all monetary accounts/mutual funds/bank savings/checking/etc.

Still down from 1/1 but only 2.5%. I had sold a bit on the upturn in early June to increase cash and peace of mind. If I miss a bit of upside the kids will just have to deal with it.

Jan +1.12%
Feb -6.18% due to COVID-19 fear
Mar -18.25% COVID-19 triggers 3 circuit breakers and 2TT+ in stimulus. This time IS different.
Apr -6.10% Back to Feb levels. Wasn't as fortunate as Lord Ackman and his 2.6BB short. The world has changed.
May +.82% my city burns around me by way of rioters, but hey the folio turned pos again
June +4.3% For some reason I feel like this is where it 'should' be? I anticipate slower growth in the next 2 quarters. Remember the Tariffs?

I'm still convinced that the market is way ahead of its skis and when 2Q earnings come out worse than expected that reality will eventually set it. If it doesn't then I'm not sure I would want part of it anyway since at that point it is more gambling than investing.
