Have you checked your 401k lately?

That would be fine, except if a person invested in a company that goes bankrupt now, because of the tariffs. That money would be long gone by the time the stock market would possibly go up again. Be careful about where your money goes. If you had invested in Tesla now, I would be worried.

@lifecoachjerusalem Tariffs will not bankrupt a company. If you think that, you don't know how tariffs and taxes work. That's okay. MANY people don't understand either. As for Tesla, you can't valuate the company based on a political reaction. You valuate it on what the company is actually worth in the long term. Did the Dylan Mulvaney controversy bankrupt Anheuser-Busch? No. Did it take a short term hard hit? Yes. But overall, what makes a stock go up or down in the long run are the FUNDAMENTALS. Your comment makes me also think you aren't too familiar with how the stock market works or how business works or what drives profits ultimately either. That too is okay. Many people don't understand that any more than they understand how tariffs and taxes work. The reality is that in 400 years the stock market has never once truly EVER lost money.

@porwest I hope that you are right, I was just reading this article, -stock-market-crash-1929-preceded-great-depression.asp#:~:text=The%201929%20crash%20was%20caused,world%20due%20to%20the%20war I hope that it won't get so bad as what happened in 1929.

I am glad for you. Keep watching and if you can get advice if there is something that you need to do to keep your money safe.
