Nothing because I haven't sold anything and aren't planning to either. I hold and keep buying more. Just like I did thru the previous dips.

Not a penny. I dumped my meager stocks in November and I shit you not rolled them over into a bunch of nonperishable food
Quite a bit but I'm not gonna sell, most of it is in retirement accounts anyway
I just want everyone to survive this
I decided to adult and buy a few stocks. So far I've lost six hundred dollars.
Yes that doesn't seem like a lot but I've never invested before and I'm not exactly rich.
Haven't checked my retirement because I've never expected to be able to retire in this country. I will work till I die. Yay, American dream! 🙁

Fuck your stocks. How many trans friends have you lost and did you even really care until it started affecting the economy. Fuck your stocks.
One, because he became a militant asshole who started not respecting boundaries.
My guy I agree with you that trans lives matter more than money, but this is not how to convince people to join our side. Like absolutely this countries priorities are absolutely fucked, but opening with "fuck your money" is only gonna get assholes to dig in their heels
I won't police my thoughts, opinions and language to appease liberals and centrists and I won't trust anyone who thinks that our struggle rests on that kind of approach. Unless they gutterally get it they are not my ally.
Ok but how many people in the whole US agree with you enough that you'd call them an ally? 2% .2%? Your plan is to enact change with 99.8% of everyone on the other side of you? The movement requires liberals and centrists to change their minds.
You know, it's possible to feel emotions about two different things at the same time.
You can feel bad about the economy if you want, and also bad about how the government treats people. You don't have to choose one or the other.
Try it!
Even if you don’t own stocks, your paycheck is now worth 15-30% less due to tariffs.
None of my trans friends have been lost.
I mean, good. The country voted in a fascist on a policy of trans genocide and it takes a tanking economy for any kind of mass protests to take place. The government was killing my friends long before Trump was elected but that didn't effect your safe little bubble. If the violence has to be explicit, then so be it.

I'm in the middle of closing on a house. I'll let you know in 5 years.
As long as you don't cave, the worst that will happen is you bought before the Depression 2.0 firesale. Your kids will be one of the few of their generation with access to a house. Congrats. Fuck you.

Not much yet this time, but in the last crash half the 401k disappeared. It crawled back over time though. Not sure I have enough time for that to happen again.
At about 10k or so
Surprisingly little, so far. But I'm not retiring anytime soon, so even if I lose now I hope it'll be just a four-year blip.
The market has given up about one year's gain, so people who have held diversified portfolios for longer than that haven't really "lost"anything.
Yet.
Person investing account got drained during my last family emergency, so none.
401k? Haven’t checked, but probably about 15% since the last time I checked on it, right around the time Trump took office. Probably lost around 2% over the last 12 months based on the S&P 500. Looks like I’m probably still up somewhere between 50 and 90% since I started with my current employer.
Advice? Don’t panic sell. Odds are pretty good the market will be back up eventually.
If you’ve the spare cash handy now might be a good time to invest in individual companies with a solid track record of paying out dividends. I generally aim for dividend yields in the 5 to 10% range, but there might be some good bargains right now with higher yields. Just make sure they haven’t announced that they are suspending dividends or going out of business or something.

100 percent this. You only lose money in a down market if you sell while it's down. That's why rich people see everything as being on sale, and they always profit in market dips like this. It's because they laugh when people panic, and then buy everything at the super low prices.
I'm not even rich, and I'm following this strategy! lol
My portfolio went down 1200 this Friday, 3000 since April started.
About $10k, plus $12k in taxes :(
I bought European defense stocks so I get happy whatever he says.
Jokes aside about 30k maybe? Not sold anything and I did not care enough to check. Hopefully he does not get to stay in office for another 4 years. I'll just buy more meanwhile.
Untill you sell, you haven't actually lost anything tangiable.
What I mean is that the market can absolutely bounce back once the situation is stabilized again, if you have time and resources, it might be worth riding this out.

Don't sell is my advice. Maybe it will take some time but the market will recover one day. The next peak will be bigger than the last, and the next and the next. If you zoom out you will see a steady line up. So sit down, and stop checking your account.
I moved my stocks into non-US bonds and GICs when the first round of tariffs against us (Canada) happened. At this point I think it'd be a terrible idea to jump ship because you'll realize that loss.
