I have not been a regular trader for about 20 years. That said, my IRA’s, 457b plan and stocks are invested in diversified mutual funds with T. Rowe Price. I am happy with that decision and have “prospered” with this arrangement. Occasionally I adjust my portfolio accordingly with professional help. Yes, the “market”
Is down but I don’t lose any sleep over it and I stay active doing other things with the time I have left. I have a couple of friends who spend a lot of their time “in the market” and I say more power to them. Doing what you want to do with your time is what retirement is all about IMHO.
