Gepetto 988 Posted January 28, 2022 Notice when I posted the original post, January 5th saying I initiated the transaction to pull my money out of the stock market on the night of January 4th. That was the all time high of the stock market. Two years ago in March as Covid hit I did the same thing saving tens of thousands of dollars. My only mistake was not moving it all back in after it crashed two years ago but I did buy back in every day for those two years so made something. It's still got a long ways to fall and I expect it will over the next 2 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Two years ago I already moved all my mutual funds to bonds just before the crash when Covid started and oil went up, maybe a day late on that actually. So I had mostly bonds already but all mutual funds I was investing in for the last two years I set up late last night and moved all to bonds and all future investments to bonds. Then I just found this article when I googled "stock market bubble" https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/warren-buffett-indicator-211-percent-stock-market-bubble-asset-crash-2022-1 You are getting crushed with your bond portfolio.

Cdub100 3,384 Posted March 2, 2022 When I sold my house I knew I would need cash for the stupid for my new build grass, fence, landscaping etc... But we were putting in a pool so I wouldn't need it for a year. I put most of my money in Crypto but I did put a bunch in stocks. I did pretty well and am selling some of my stock positions because now I need that money. I'm not selling any crypto though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jonmx 1,596 Posted March 3, 2022 6 hours ago, Hardcore troubadour said: The problem with timing the market is if you get it right once you think you’ll get it right again. It is a lot of luck. After the markets rose 25% last year, I figured this year was going to suck and put my retirement money on the sidelines at the start of the year. But I have no clue when to jump back in. I am still bearish, but if there is another 10 percent drop I may get half my money back in. Inflation and the war are not going away soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
