I bought European defense stocks so I get happy whatever he says.
Jokes aside about 30k maybe? Not sold anything and I did not care enough to check. Hopefully he does not get to stay in office for another 4 years. I'll just buy more meanwhile.

Untill you sell, you haven't actually lost anything tangiable.
What I mean is that the market can absolutely bounce back once the situation is stabilized again, if you have time and resources, it might be worth riding this out.
This is not like every other time this has happened. This is happening now with no support from the rest of the world, which is usually what pulls us out.
I would forget about any owned stocks and focus on real life for what will probably be a decent amount of time.
Not a penny. I dumped my meager stocks in November and I shit you not rolled them over into a bunch of nonperishable food
Aren't the stock markets supposed to recover from a crisis like this, as they always did in the past?
If it doesn't everyone will have more to worry about than the worth of their 401k.

Anyone acting like this current clusterfuck is permanent or anything but a random stupid whim hasn’t been following what this shitgibbon does. He will repeal the tariffs at some point, call it a win, and the market will rally in response. Then it’s on to the next abomination of “policy”. Just another episode in the nonstop trash reality show that is a Trump presidency.
Why do you assume the market will rally when they're removed? The market will remain worried about the possibility of more. And the market has to deal with the already existing consequences of purchasing of usa goods down worldwide. Habits broken.

The market has given up about one year's gain, so people who have held diversified portfolios for longer than that haven't really "lost"anything.
Yet.
I've sold most of my international/US-biased stocks, only keep a few, plus some local company that I know is doing pretty OK.
I replaced it with mostly high-security stuff like the bank savings account or European central bank rate coupled stuff. So I guess I am losing the potential interest?
I am still not sure when to "buy the drop". I bet that (sadly), the US administration will do more bullshit before it gets better.

Nothing. Sold everything when I heard that warren buffet had sold everything
i am just starting on a fresh 401k account, i guess i got lucky, but people with decades worth of contributions must be swearing bullets
$155k, and it could have been worse.
Don't sell is my advice. Maybe it will take some time but the market will recover one day. The next peak will be bigger than the last, and the next and the next. If you zoom out you will see a steady line up. So sit down, and stop checking your account.
Person investing account got drained during my last family emergency, so none.
401k? Haven’t checked, but probably about 15% since the last time I checked on it, right around the time Trump took office. Probably lost around 2% over the last 12 months based on the S&P 500. Looks like I’m probably still up somewhere between 50 and 90% since I started with my current employer.
Advice? Don’t panic sell. Odds are pretty good the market will be back up eventually.
If you’ve the spare cash handy now might be a good time to invest in individual companies with a solid track record of paying out dividends. I generally aim for dividend yields in the 5 to 10% range, but there might be some good bargains right now with higher yields. Just make sure they haven’t announced that they are suspending dividends or going out of business or something.
