Participant“Sounds like the only thing you you missed out on was shorting the stock market starting about a year ago. As I recall there were some folks on this board calling for a huge decline in stocks starting at that time.”
It seems like the guys that shorted big indexes got disected and those that disected did pretty good?

Participant“We’re all in the same boat. Some have suites, some have balconies, some have oceanviews and some have inside cabins.
If the ship sinks, we’re all going down. ;-)”
This is obviously when liquidity becomes a liability. π
You know, some of us didn’t take that cruise.
Enjoy your suite on the Titanic. I’ll keep my little patch o’ dry land – who care’s who ‘owns’ it anyway?

Participantlindismith I am right there with you, especially on #1, #2, and #5, though it is my husband who needs the new car π I don’t have any advice nearly as worthwhile as some of the financial gurus that post here, but I do want to say that I think we are ahead of the average person just by virtue of our knowledge (thank you Piggington) and preparation.
Good luck to you and all of us!

Participantmacro/micro can both go to hell and some people are going to be just Fine. Yes our ability to grow wealth MAY be impacted but I don’t liken that to drowning. I call that a good opportunity to help each other, rest and eat seafood and drink beer.
