How is everyone coping / dealing with this historic 2 day loss? I was unfortunate to lump sum and aggressively invest into VOO starting in Nov 2024 and am now down 12%

What are some strategies for dealing with losses and fear of economic uncertainty? I feel like this is a historic time and something we have not seen before, which makes me uneasy. I have a long timeline and am only 37 years old, but there is still an uneasy feeling and a level of uncertainty that is certainly not comfortable. What are doing in these difficult times? Is anyone selling for a loss?

Edit: down now 13%+

Your assumption on my politics is wrong. I will continue to invest. I’m not concerned for long term.

Yeah, and people like you are why shit like this happens. Pay attention. It’s like you are digging for treasure and you don’t realize you’ve dug yourself in a hole you can’t get out.

Not sure how you can look at what is happening and not worried about the long term. That’s mind boggling.
