Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I do this for a little peace of mind:
Google S&P 500 historical chart
Dow Jones historical chart
You'll get a grim graph currently. Click on "Max" and find comfort in long-term historical data. With your pointer, follow backward. It will show every day where the markets were. The dips these days are scary, but the big picture is comforting. We are considering investing in stock index funds with the bond market funds we just sold. And we'll be 65 this year.
Don't forget to stick with an asset allocation that works for you no matter what the stock market or bond market is doing. Good luck to you!!
