Come now, Koolau. I remember a 40% drop in the stock market in the 1970s. And 20% in one day in 1987. Both the market and many investors are still here.I think we'll all know by the blood in the street.

OK, you made me look even though I didn't want too!Mid-month update after the carnage.
YTD down (6.33%)
From all-time high mid-January 2025 down (10.27%)
Jan 1, 2024 to date still up 22.81% having given back a lot of my 2024 gains.
I think this is a great way to look at it.I don’t know where we are (down a couple % perhaps), but glancing at the graphs it looks like the equity indexes have given back ~ 6 months of gains, like back to last August levels in some cases.
What duality?I had quality time with my kid this past week, discussing the vagaries of investing, and finding your way.
Someone else here mentioned the duality, and I see that very clearly in many online posts.
It probably was time for a correction, however this one was artificially induced.YTD down 6.21 % on 98% equities.
Seriously,I think people need to chill out. Corrections happen, and happen often. Feature of investing, not a bug ! I think the fear is "what will he do next" and it's just compounding the anxiety.
