How much are you down this year?
- Thread starter stinkynuts
- Start date
That's how it ended as well, I lost it all and then I decided it wasn't for my novice ass!
Meh...looks like $400K for the family before today's additional drops. $600K if I want to include my Mom's investments.
Having lived through the 66% drop in 2009, I'm not getting excited yet.
I'll likely buy some BNS, EMA, some PPL today. Maybe even some RUS after I take my cold meds

80k was liberated from me.
I just trimmed my Berkshire from 30% to 15% of my portfolio, trimmed gold from 40% to 20%. GICs, HISA, money market ETF, went from 30% to 65%

He also crashed Obama's economy,.
Looks like people are buying the dip, a recovery day. But this is far from over, and more volatility ahead.
I heard it was due to fake news about Trump pausing tariffs for 90 days which the white house confirmed was false on X. Dow is back down about 2.5% today. I want to buy in but not sure when to start my dollar cost averaging
Nope. Just Trump manipulating the market again for his friends.
I’d avoid buying the indices such as qqq. Too many garbage companies that are overvalued such as Tesla, Microstrategy, Palantir, etc. Instead, I think it’s good to go bargain shopping for very high quality stocks that at are low PE ratios. As mentioned Google, Netflix,Asml, Microsoft, and Amazon are at good valuations now. I also like visa, mastercard, spgi, brkb.
nearly 2 years of gains erased thus far this year. Unrealized losses in the 7 figures (nine figures if we count decimal place!).
I've been in the markets for a pretty long time as a value investor, so theres a pretty healthy income stream coming in; if this bullshit drags out long enough to actually affect fundamentals, and possible dividend cuts, I'll probably still be ok
Have been an active buyer since last Thursday, psychologically challenging as just about everything I bought, at EXCELLENT prices on Thursday, are already down 6-8%. Makes me think that maybe I'm losing my touch, as that rarely happened in the past.
Every online bullion dealer that I've used over the past few years is pretty much out of stock these days of the items I used to buy. Prices dropped a bit, I think theres been a lot of selling to cover margin calls on equities, pushing bullion prices down, and smart money is jumping on physical bullion at these sale prices.
Despite all this, I'm buying either a new Cadillac XT6 or Genesis GV80 in early May. Quality luxury at reasonable prices, IMO.
Stay calm and carry on

I have two separate portfolios. My advisor manages one and is somewhat conservative. As a result, I have been aggressive with the other and had it in 100% equities. It’s done around 21% over the last couple of years. But since the tariff situation started I changed my tune. I switched from aggressive to conservative, even though I’m thinking I should have gone further and went to cash. Regardless, a friend of mine and her husband have gone all in. They stuck with stocks even in the face of a potential market crash and are looking to buy more. They’re playing the long game as am I, but they must have nerves of steel to just ride it out like that.
OPEC+ just brought more barrels on line, see chart.
Pipelines could be more stable.
Using dollar values doesn't make sense.
Being down $50K is not a big deal if you've got $1M in the market. Or down $200-500K if you've got $5M+
I suspect most are down 10-20%
I'm down about 10% in my "need for retirement" portfolio.
A little worse in my "roll the dice" portfolio
I should probably be selling shit now, but I'm stubborn and don't like panic selling or buying.
I have some money in fixed income that I'll use to buy good stocks when I think they're close to the bottom.

25k I’m looking into gold mining but I recuperate some of my lost by selling UVXY positions - might rebuild my bear positions and looking into Gold Miners and Commodities to protect myself for Trump’s 3rd term.

Update
Now -7.8% for the year, my kid's TFSA is -0.8% thanks to me selling the S+P 500 index and buying GLD.
