I checked my stock portfolio this morning. :)
I just checked it again after market close (After Trump threatened China with more Tarriffs). :( YIKES!
-
Mine is down 1.7%. Nothing to get worried over.

are you sure it's not because China is threatening to reduce exports of rare earth metals?

depends on what your investments are. I'm down 10%+

Friday wiped out my gains from the previous week, and then some. On the other hand, my silver is up 50% from three years ago.

Yep. It’s all in choosing the right investments. Hence why I’m only down 1.7% ;)

I don't know if I'm calculating mine right but, we GAINED 5% since Trump took office, even counting taking a bunch out to build an addition AND accounting for the Great Depression of April 4-7. What we lost this week was only 1%. So net we are 4% over where we were in January. Could be better but that's not a bad recovery after 4 years of Biden, and we are structured not to be too high risk.
This is nothing to worry about as long as people stay sane and don't start WW3 or a 2nd American Civil War, or AI doesn't take down our grid and all our investments, which are just digital electrons in some cloud somewhere, evaporate.

When it’s all said and done I average about 9.8%, which is where I want it.

It's sort of like when a football player takes a cheap shot against an opponent and the opponent punches him back. It is usually the opponent that gets penalized.
There are many issues influencing stock market prices. But China announced those import restrictions the day before Trump reacted and the market continued to climb. But as soon as Trump made his retaliating threat the market dived. I went from up around 1.5% to down around 2% in about a half hour. That was a big and fast drop.
I don't blame Trump for it. He's doing what he needs to do while everyone else is or was afraid to do.
And that's why I said I need to stop checking my portfolio so often. But I won't because it is just what I do.

There are many issues influencing stock market prices.
exactly, some reactions are rational, some reactions are irrational, some reactions are quick, some reactions are slooooow.

Just today so far we gained back more than half what we lost. I wonder if the hostage release is boosting the market.

I think it had more to do with Trump easing off the tough talk with China.
