Why do people think that ALL investments are down because the s&p is/was down 18% and Nasdaq was down much worse than this. Do you think all companies are down 18% or more? When the market goes up or down, it’s an average and my holding can go up or down drastically different than what the s&p or Nasdaq move. Case in point, Nasdaq was down over 30% but nvdia and sales force were down over 60%. On the other side, Exxon and chevron were up 50% in a down market. You can make good money in any market, but it is much harder if you have a bad economy like we are in and going to get worse
