As the declines continue, new records continue to be set. The major averages just posted their worst week since the financial crisis. The Dow is tracking for its worst month since 1931, the S&P since 1940.And yet, in the midst of all the selling, there have been some good days mixed in, too. The Dow's 5 worst single-day point drops have all been this month, but so have the index's four best days, all of which saw a gain of more than 1,000 points.
Experts typically advise retail investors to avoid the impulse to time the market, which can be difficult even for professional traders. Goldman Sachs found that "households," which they define as retail investors as well as some professionals such as hedge funds, are the only subset of shareholders that have "sold equities during each bear market since 1950."
Have a mixture of stock and bond funds. Bonds will not make as much in a bull market, but, in a bear market will absorb the blow.

Sell early to buy dips sounds better though.

Friendly reminder that markets can still fall another 75% after a crash. Follow paid shills at your own peril.
Let the pros do the selling.
Will the smart money keep pulling their $ out of the market this week? As the Dumb$ wait for the 2008 bottom capitulation?
The best thing you posted
Wrong
Sell that shit!
Hahahahaha next article... why you lost your oportunity to buy a house in 2007 😂😂😂
How come GOP Senators did it? Oh, that’s right. They sold before the panic.
Long-term investors should never sell stocks, period. They should be adding to their positions in times like this, hoping that stocks fall even further. But that only works as long as you have cash to buy, and as long as you and the companies you buy don't die from some virus.
Probably should rename this why investors should never be long-term.
High school econ 101. Buy low, sell high.
Yes, the bulls will strike back... in 5 or 10 years.....
现在不抛售就真是傻瓜了，美股很难再现昨日的盛况了。
Imagine this headline in 1929. 1932 here, you lost 90%. it only took 25 years to recover.
It will bounce back! After we test 2008 market lows & exhaust our tax$ bailing out Boeing, the airlines, cruise ships & corporate...the glut of restaurants will be left to die? Who needs overpriced burritos on every corner?
We already know. Do you think we listen to Jim.
Stock market will crash!
