They'll come back, they always do. 2000-2007, 2008-2015, etc. No worries

I'm not worried about them, given my time horizon. The more they, drop the more I can accumulate. But, as an indicator of what may be afoot short-term, my eyes are open.

Yes, but what do you do if you are out of the accumulation window of your life??? (rhetorical question)

Hopefully, if sufficiently planned, keep living life using dividends to reinvest or supplement income. Like you said, they'll come back up. I'm hoping, for me anyway, my IRA is just supplemental to the other "3 legs of FERS".

In any case, for those of us accumulating...do we sit and wait for lower prices, or buy now? And when do I sell the TZA I've been sitting on for waaay too long...don't even ask how long.

Good morning

Today marks the first time this year the pre-markets have gapped up at the open, have a HAPPY FRIDAY!

Futures are up this morning after being down almost a half point last night. Let's see if this holds or, if we're being tricked. I like the charts above plus the seasonality for the next week. After that, I just don't know.

Maybe Powerball?

Is it Sidney or The Bush Time? Not yet I'd say.
