My entire account is down 22% so it hurts a lot.
Im also not sure if I should sell. Under normal circumstances, I wouldnt. But now we are seeing another 4 years of Trump, and his strategy is about intentionally causing a depression. Its not normal days on the stock market, thats for sure.
Who can stop him?
Certainly don't sell now. You'll soon be seeing the combined pressure of the moneyed on Trump, and he's nothing if not chaotic anyway. "Strategy" is just what he calls his whim of the moment. This may not be the end of the dip yet, but the whole tariff scheme will fall apart and stocks will rally. You could, without touching anything right now, take a look at the stocks that your fund is made of, and see if you want to make changes for ethical or practical reasons, so you're ready to do so on the upswing. But let the big money investors throw their weight around first.
I'm planning to just keep buying more as he causes further declines, to my ability to do so that is.
