I just reallocated some funds from some sells not long ago, I am still sitting on enough cash to fund many years of retirement as well.

I did some major selling of my IRA holdings yesterday. Now that I am retired I don’t have the stomach for this market.

Interesting observations from last couple of days... While the DOW seems to be treading water or even down...everything on my board is green, WAY green...

Dow is down a half a point this morning and my IRA is up almost a full point.

Yes --- interesting "rotation" (not the car arse end this time) showing up in my accounts as well --- Tech getting its arse handed to it (it should have - it's run too far too fast) -- and the stuff that hadn't been working (dividend shares) are having nice gains.

Meaning -- the cash has to go somewhere -- it tends to hide in dividend shares when the speculation (hot stocks) becomes scary.

Cramer. "Nobody ever made a dime panicking".

first time i heard this quote, but learned it here first.

Long term (not timing the market, its time in the market)

Pay attention (don't invest and forget, i've done this much in my past and to some extent, still do)

Minimize personal overhead, think dividend income (read withdraw) much later.

Just had my cruddiest quarter (at my company) in 7 years. Things are on the up now, but beware, be savvy.

Learned alot on this thread, these are just a few words of encouragement from a 51 year old "newb", never stop learning.....

"as society regress's forward..."

If you look at just my balance, all of my gains from 2017 have been wiped out thus far. Not worried though. I'm in good names and will be buying more soon. Heck, I remember thinking a year ago that I wish I had bought more when prices were lower on a number of my stocks. Well, now they are, lol.
