Broad market news Market getting smashed, where is cash going?

Clearly a massive sell off is happening, are traders (big and small) just sitting on cash once they sell? Gold, the bastion of safe heavens, is also getting hit.

Bonds? Simple interest? Are any sectors up in this mess?

Me personally?

My cash is going to my mortgage. Guaranteed return paying it down, and at least I’ll own the damn house I’m in, even if my retirement portfolio hits zero.

Yeah but if your portfolio is gone then you won't have the money to pay property taxes, and you'll lose your house anyway.

There's no free livin'
