I didnt have much to begin with only lost about 12k, I have nothing anyway. My mother lost roughly 100k in her retirement fund from all this crashing. My grandmother even more. How much have you lost in Trump’s Tantrum Tariffs game?

    I had a trust fund of stocks and my mum said she sold them whenever a crash happened… Why…

      Yeah, buying after the crash happens makes no sense. If you can somehow( for lack of a better phrase foresee )a crash happening, and then sell before the crash, then buy back in after the crash. That makes sense because then you’re selling high and buying low.

      But buying after the crash makes no sense because now you’re already down. I feel for you on that one
