Some Americans said they would reduce investments in stocks

Retirement savers are cautioned not to change investment strategies during market volatility, but it can be tempting when the value of your investments is falling before your eyes and you rely on that money.

See: No, U.S.-Iran tension is not a reason to invest retirement money in gold — here’s when you should The key to successfully riding out stock market volatility or a downturn in retirement is to plan for it ahead of time. Some advisers will allocate a few years of client income in bonds, for example. Daniel Lash, a financial adviser and partner at VLP Financial Advisors in Vienna, Va., suggests stashing five to seven years of client income into bonds, because that’s how long it took stocks to recover from the last two big market downturns.

Tesla is hugely overvalued in price based on earnings and growth speculation Tesla is the poster child for why the market could crash. There are far too many companies out there who burn through cash, don't have a long term strategy that will mean they will ever show a profit. Can't help people from buying into fantasies promoted by people like Musk.
