The Investment Thread

I posted about this on the inflation thread. I can't imagine having to have just retired or on verge of, only to see valuations drop 30% or more.

And it's all relative. Someone at 25 who had 50k balance now has 35k balance but decades to recover.

Someone at 65 who had a 1.2mm balance now around 800k and doesn't have the "years to come" to recover.

Gotta be involved with your FA for sure.

Which is why you are supposed to move to a more conservative portfolio the closer you get to retirement. If you are retired it's risky to have a stock heavy portfolio. We have large market corrections every few years.
