Being an election year and expecting my 401 to crash as it does every election year. Should one get out in August or October?

I got lucky in 2020 and got out early. Then got back in around 2022.

I am inclined to bail soon but it's doing well right now.

I looked at a Roth I started in 2020 fuqkin pathetic☹️

You need a new money manager

Things are no longer predictable.

I would say the rates are going to drop a few more times before the election and those that want to keep comatose Joe in office will prop the market up as long as they can.

It's the only thing they may have to run on.

I’m well aware

I suggest when the next Bitcoin crash happens that you invest every spare dollar into it.

Any penalty if you bail?

You are historically inaccurate about equities in an election year.

The great Ab Lincoln said that "time in the market out performs timing the market"

What happens if we elect Trump?

I am staying in……should be interesting if nothing else……

Tru that ain’t it amazing how the interest rates will fall before November 🤔

Correct, the market has gone up in all but four of the last twenty election years.

I would just put the funds in the money marker section.

Unless you’re going to need it soon, let it ride…

This ^ Markets been correcting for years.

So let me get this straight…

You divest when the market is down, or when you perceive it is about to drop, and then you start investing again after it’s going back up?

You need a fiduciary in your life.

The way the inflation, wage and labor data keeps coming in, you might just have to wait quite a while before the Fed starts dropping rates.

Yep.

Wednesday’s March meeting will be interesting.

Who you talkin to Willis?

Seems 2008 as best I can tell here.

Anybody still investing in Cabbage Patch Kids?? I hear the market is a little down, might be a good time to jump in. -wabi

Slumlort just bees mindsin he’s own biznus.

Putting out mothballz n sheeit.

Somebody, somewhere, is paying way too much for CPK right now.

I’m staying fully invested, as I’ve done for 30 plus years.

HARD COMMODITIES...

PHYSICALLY HELD...

I opened my Fidelity account in 1985 when I was 24. All good...

Shiiiiitttt…. I just got in 😩
