Is this sell off only the beginning ?

Ok. Yes that is fair we are on basically the same page than. I just didn't realize it. My apologies.

 

That's where I'm at. I want to be in the market but I don't want to suffer the drawdowns. Solution is to sell stocks that aren't trending.

 

Yes I got shook out of a few but kept buying stocks that were going up. Now have financials and energy instead of tech

 

I think even if the market crashed my parents might not put their money back in. Falling daggers or risk averse. I think they are content and will not risk it this close to the end.

 

Being content is what matters.
