I've invested through bull and bear markets in the last 15 years.

I’ve always put most of my money into ETFs, mainly S&P500. It has served me well so far.

Just be prepared to be down with your portfolio for some time.

Serious question: Instead of riding the ETFs down, what if I sell investments now and move to cash/gold? Cash would lose value at the rate of inflation, while ETFs can drop 30-40% more if the FED makes mistakes.

I don’t we see another 30-40% loss, 20% the most. We’re already at a point where you could argue that an overreaction has happened.

But hey, it’s the future, so no one can really say anything about it :) I at least am gonna see through this one.
