        You might be better off investing like Igy.

        Plus, I'm sure you would sleep better. Especially on that soft mattress of cash.

        hah

        I know you are just trying to provoke the Igster, but seriously I take to heart the idea that it's ok to be afraid, but that fear shouldn't affect your investing decisions.

        Never trade the headlines, as they say.

        I am pretty sure I am more risk tolerant than most here. I have less 3% in cash.

        It's nice to hear you have finally come around after so many years of doomsday talk.
        Hopefully, you didn't wait too long. I don't think you did. A lot of good still to come.

        No, you will learn the hard way I was right all along.

      • No, hilarious is where you think your portfolio will land in 2020 or 2028 for that matter.

        Most boring week ever continues as everyone awaits the trumpster fire results of the G20

        USO moving almost literally sideways on above average volume is fun to watch though

        I am not bored. I am scared stiff, petrified and terror-filled.

        I've been completely wrong since the September top - every short term move I do is wrong. So I'm particularly on edge - whatever it is that I do is not in sync with this current market.

        I mean 99% of my assets never change, so that's not in doubt - I'm just talking my trading account, which carries my pride. It was doing fantastic until the Sept top, then it suffered a slaughter that has to be in the top 1% of slaughters.

        Likewise, my timing on trades over the last few weeks has been really bad in most cases. I'm not nearly as worried now as i was a few days ago when i just didn't seem that the selling was going to stop. I can write off a few ill-timed trades, but like you, the 99% of my assets that never change are worth worrying about. I'm not fully bought back into the market at this point, but will if we move up from here.
        Good luck.
        I wasn't worrying about the G20 etc. until you and Racket mentioned it, but maybe i should be....

        What's hilarious is being in panic mode since 2011 waiting for big downturn to happen in 2020 or for that matter maybe not until 2028.

        Nice if any of that was true.

      • Igy, one's a long term worry and the other is more short term. The more immediate stuff seems to get the attention.
