Trump made the S&P 500 drop more in a week last April than he made it grow in an entire calendar year lmao

We got so spooked my guy switched my mom’s IRA from 80/20 stocks to bonds, to 45/50 stocks to bonds on the worst day

So it made back a decent amount, just not as much as would’ve happened if we stayed. But we should’ve switched to that ratio the prior year bc she is not well

I’ve been largely in silver in my individual. My IRA has been 50% stocks, 25% gold, and 25% bonds for a while now. I don’t even do a lump sum payment into my IRA, just what I can when I can, and my YoY is somehow 21%. I sold everything on 4/1 and rebought on 4/3 so I managed to avoid a lot of the loss which was kinda lucky but also what I was expecting

Fuck man. We timed it wrong. You timed it right. She’d still be making a decent yearly return if we didn’t have to take out disbursements to pay for everything but it regenerates back in 6 months

Tomorrow Trump is going to speak at the WEF. I’ve personally got silver and VIX call options out my ass because his only two outcomes are being normal and things stay the same or being a fucking lunatic and things getting worse. The only thing he could do to actually make shit better rn is back off his Greenland threats and removing some of his tariffs which I cannot see happening. Buying on rumors, selling on news

The sale is done, it should just be waiting to settle so you’re good. The rout today is already a fair amount worse than it opened at so you’ve probably gotten off pretty good. Just hang on for a day or two if you’re nervous and you might get a solid opportunity to buy back in lower
