"We don't have to win back the same manner as we lost it" .... for many people that usually means re-focusing back on their jobs! :P
ReplyDeleteThe 1st screenshot brings up ARKK in my mind! LOL!
There're now more ETFs than individual stocks. Add in UTs and mutual funds ... there's likely double the number of ETFs/UTs/funds compared to stocks!
Those that have been whacked much harder than S&P 500 are those super growthy ETFs. They're today's version of new-economy internet funds of 1999.
Be aware of what can survive & thrive, and what cannot:
Since the dotcom top in Mar 2000, Nasdaq has returned 120%. A terrible performance ... 3.5% CAGR.
(S&P 500 total return including dividends is 300%)
But the vast majority of 1990s internet funds have died out long beforehand.
Genevieve is writing for a certain audience, those looking for lower volatility and/or dividends.
Changing investment strategy or investment style just because of an article or one feels bad means that a fundamental error with regards to personal risk profile, financial objectives, financial plan & timeline has been made many months or years ago. ;)
