You should increase your contribution whenever you can. If money is deducted from your paycheck before you see it it's MUCH easier to save. When we have to deliberately make a contribution it's much easier to put it off or just not do it at all.

I know all about how this works. But did it in Feb after the so called big correction, and since then it's been nothing but double digit gains as did my Roth IRA.

No problem with my stuff, still in the black overall.

A week ago your money was never worth more. Today it's a little lower. Time to buy. Or, time to blame one person for it as usual.

The Fed will save us.

Better to keep on keeping on. Dollar cost averaging, etc

One person could be more circumspect/have more self control.. Things would not swing as widely. Just sayin.

I didn't understand him to be saying that "one person" is actually responsible for the movements of the market, but that if "one person" demands credit for its increases, he's asking for blame, rightly or wrongly, for its decreases. Seems fair to me.

What you're just sayin is just so wrong! Educate yourself and see this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...d_bear_markets And if you want to start blaming presidents then start looking up every single year of those crashes and blame ALL of those presidents. If only all those presidents had more self control things would not swing as widely, just sayin.

Only in the 2019 version of the Twilight Zone..there on Pennsylvania Ave..

Maybe, just maybe keep quiet and see what happens. Or maybe be a little less the vocal(3 dozen tweets?)bully and little more the statesman/negotiator..maybe listen first, shout less?

what did Winston Chuchill say...a bull who carries his own china shop?

[Mr. Pink]

China has been around for four thousand years, and will be around much longer than that one person. At this point, most are just waiting around for another year and a half. It's like a bad storm.
